Kuwait City: A shop selling miniatures and statues has been shut down in Kuwait.
Twitter users launched a hashtag calling on the authorities to shut down the controversial business, reported Almarsd.
They claimed that the “miniatures and statues would be worshipped as idols within years”.
Scholars and clerics had also their say, considering that Islam bans idolatry.
Municipal Councilor in the governorate of Hawali posted a tweet announcing the closure of the shop which sells items described as “haram”.
A video recording posted on the social media websites showed empty shelves after the removal of statues and miniatures.
