Ikea Bows Down To Shariah Law In THIS Disgusting Way IKEA is facing some serious backlash after making the controversial decision to eliminate women from the Saudi edition of their catalog. The international store actually photoshopped women out of their ads in order to comply with the restrictive guidelines in Saudi Arabia, where any inch of flesh shown by a woman is considered a sin. Rather than complying with local religious dress codes, IKEA decided women were better off (literally) out of the picture. After receiving media backlash, IKEA is at risk of losing some of their customers. The superstore claims that they regret their decision, but the damage may have already been done. What do you think of IKEAs decision to remove women from their catalog? Should they have stood up to the oppression of women in Saudi Arabia or just refused to distribute their catalog altogether?
