To address your questions on idolatry: Almost anything can become idol. If you worship your ancestors, as in some cultures, then a picture of your mother might be an idol to you. Some people worship nature so a simple thing like a bush, tree, a rock, or a dog might be an idol. To some, beetles, or the Beatles, may be their idols...
The LC's are not the only ones that speak out about idolatry. In this regard the whole of the evangelical community is together. I never heard of anyone criticizing the LC's for speaking out against idolatry, at least when idols are limited to graven images. I'm also surprised you have not addressed the Eastern Orthodox churches for their icons.

Regarding causing division, however, LSM goes way beyond idolatry in their condemnation of other churches. The LSM "Blended" leadership caused divisions for not adhering to their One Publication edict. They really can't get along with any other churches. That is why they should be judged for causing division.
