There have been earlier threads about it on DU. IKEA's move is abominable and I hold THEM responsible for misogyny by catering to the Saudi market.

Saudi Arabia may hide behind a veil of Islam but it's THEIR interpretation of the faith, not a universal truth of Islam.

Actually, I do think that it was IKEA's idea because they want to sell in the market. Gormy Cuss Nov 2012 #10
