It's forbidden to make idols that will be worshipped - even for non-Jews to worship.
One who manufactures idols has transgressed and deserves 39 lashes.
One who manufactures an idol for himself has transgressed twice; this sin and Mitzvah #14 - Do not create your own idols.
Applies to everybody, all the time, everywhere.
Pasuk: You shall not make idols (Vayikra 19:4)
