Nike banned for religious reasons. It's about the famous logo

Dar al-Ifta, a religious institution in Tripoli, Libya, issued a fatwa stating that wearing Nike apparel promotes polytheism due to its logo's connection to the Greek goddess Nike. The fatwa, approved by Libya's Grand Mufti, also called for a boycott of companies supporting Israel amid the Gaza conflict. While the ruling reflects Islamic law, it does not impose legal penalties or a state ban on Nike products. Reactions among Libyans were mixed, with some supporting the fatwa and others criticizing it as a distraction from more pressing societal issues. Nike products remain popular in North Africa despite the absence of official stores in Libya.
