Amazon has been forced to stop selling doormats with Allah’s name on them after they were branded ‘offensive’ by Muslims.
Dozens of outraged Muslims said they had been offended by the product which allowed people to wipe their feet on Allah’s name.
The site has since apologised and pulled the doormat and dog mat products from the site.
The mats were reported to Amazon by Birmingham councillor Mariam Khan, who was alerted to the offensive nature of the products by a number of constituents.
The 26-year-old said the mats flew in the face of the current Amazon Christmas advert, which promotes racial and religious harmony.
In the ad, a Christian priest and Muslim Imam order gifts for each other from the retail giant.
Amazon claims the product was placed on its site by a third party seller, who simply used the site as a platform to sell its products.
Councillor Khan has since praised Amazon for acting on her concerns so swiftly.
