“….what’s prohibited is the action…..”
Shirk cannot be a sin then. If you never physically bow down to another god, or make any physical action that elevates others to be god’s equal, then you can go through life secretly praying to the sun in your mind and you haven’t sinned?

I’m saying that you can commit shirk without a physical action showing you have done so – according to you, this wouldn’t be sinning.

LOL. Silly. I have never said that. Of course shirk is sin, whether expressed outwardly or not.

deliberate sinful thoughts are haram too, obviously. I did not cover that subject in my talk.
