Creators of flatpack furniture that might have baffled Isambard Kingdom Brunel, Ikea, has been slammed for turning to Photoshop to remove a "female problem" from its catalogue.
According to AFP, the company, which was founded by Ingvar Kamprad, a man with "youthful" Nazi connections, has been caught airbrushing women out of the catalogue.
A local version of Ikea's yearly catalogue, published on its Saudi website, shows images that are identical but the women are missing.
Ulrika Englesson Sandman, a spokesperson for the Swedish Inter Ikea Systems, is apparently furious and sent a stiff massage to the outfit's Saudi franchise holder.
Trade Minister Ewa Bjoerling has waded in saying that if Saudi Arabia does not allow women to be seen or heard, or to work, they are letting half their intellectual capital go to waste.
Swedish European Union Minister Birgitta Ohlsson branded the incident "medieval" on social networking site Twitter.
Ikea's Saudi franchise partner operates three stores in the country, where it has seen "double digit" yearly growth over the past five years.
Realise it, destroy those who said so, like it, or not, the emnity between the Shias [und not zer "shites" of Zer Chosen Vuns, ja?] and the Sunnis is founded upon the tussel between Mohammed's descendants and those who wrote [and then rewrote] The Koran, which, serenditpitously in the manner of Zer Vestern Mass Media playing football with The Human Minds, removes Femininity from their very limited picture of The Whole. Afterall, theirs is to promote human birth through the science of The Righting Zist und Zat Fathering Mothers and the[ir] Mothering Fathers as well as promoting the culture of having young things as disposable bed accessories ['Cos the damn thangs grow hairs and larger too]. A good bet that they are into supporting "Protect the Children Welfare" sorts of nonsense a'la "Western" Righting This & That mesmerised voids. Like it or not, "The Wahabis" is the reflection of The Chosen Few but from a cruel [as opposed to cunning] perspective, both Tentacles being founded upon Religion & Religiosity the duty of which is to liberate fanaticism. But how fanatics are created? It would be wise and prudent not to ask The Stone Dead because one will only be further mesmerised for that sin. Funny should it not be true.
The knowledge which is attainable is not only limited but like all things material, it has a beginning and an ending. Knowledge like how to blow up skyscrappers a'la freefall for example. The knowledge which is not of the material like how to blame that demolition on others, however, has zero material limit for the simple reason that it is of behaviour. Thoughts are great travellers being able to traverse from the material to the spiritual but they are of myth because thoughts only exist when The Present is not possible, human thoughts being only Of The Past or Of The Future whereas The Present has no [as in zero] thoughts, zero thoughts being an impossibility especially for those who have yet to mastered counting beyond their toes other than to {projectively/futuristically or subjectively/emotionally} imagine that thoughts are all there is. As the vacuous know and relish, when Evolution is away, Devolution comes out to play, with Monopoly being a firm favourite.
Mohammed, who is the same and exact DIVINE aspect of Self-Mastery as Moses ANDAbraham, and who was illterate, did not wrote The Koran. Afterall, He did mentioned something about idol worship, an idol being of the material, be the material either a book or a sword, The Spiritual having nothing in common with The Material, even when it come to "scriptures". Afterall, who is-able/would-like to wrap-up God into a book? The Materialists, of course, like scholars and their scholarship in backstabbing and airy-fairying. Unbeknownst to almost all, the knowledge mentioned in scriptures is merely for The Bingo-Effect - for the affirmation of those who were already empowered. God is not about scholarship, much to the suicidal or blow'em up desperation of such scholars should they ever realised their erroneous beliefs, which most would never be able to realise if only because their cup is always brim to overflowing, being addicted to their quest. Mohammed, in the affirmation of His tenet about idol worship, said that at the moment of your/the Resurrection/Kiyama, "Your Hands Will Speak" and not your scripture, most scriptures being littered with redactions and additions, just like the "Wikis" and their leakages. But what does that mean other than having billions of viewpoints to jumbled-up the issue, the democraticos' pet activity? For this reason, "Resurrection", oka "Baptism", "Yoga" and so forth, is neither a gift via some ritual [performed mostly by paedophiles] nor is it some exercise to "awaken" one's scripture and neither it a reward of some "Rapture" in exchange for merely believing nor is it something which is of Time, Reality being of The Moment/Timing and is never limited/dictated by Time.
The Wahabis is what the Efforts of Iraq & Afganistan should be aiming for but not when those efforts were grounded upon Wahabism and its Tentacle twin, Chosen Fewism. You cannot make these things up because it has to be as The Ending draws nearer. Trying to gain knowledge of the non-material when one is not of the evolutionary spiritual is how the typical human gets mesmerised because when one has yet to be empowered of the evolutionary spiritual, acquiring knowledge is merely for realising religiosity much like when a puppet remaining so but assuming that it is human - when powers like the Power of Absolute Discrimination/Knowledge has yet to be realised. To being able to determine absolutely who is real and who is not being the essential and first knowledge of absoluteness. A seemingly vicious circle/Catch-22 for the academics of divinity, of course, for the simple reason that all self-determining humans have two such diametrically opposing "Advisors" to confide in, oka the "sin" of being dual-natured. As Shakespeare had alluded to, "To Be or Not To Be". To inflaming the inflammable into achieving one's Cruel & Cunning objectives like a war or two being The Bookie's favourite pastime, The Bookie being the One who profits from Disagreement, any disagreement, regardless.
Humanity lack the means to neutralising The Tentacles of The Bookie like Wahabism or The Chosen Few because humans lack the Knowledge which is [the Absoluteness of] Truth. In fact, W&C is merely a reflection of the state of mesmerism within Humanity. Truth is an accumulation in that He, The Preceptor, cannot gift His Principle of Truth, oka Sharing & Unity, to another. Especially not through that fav of the religious and the entitled, "Just like that". For Truth to be realised, Love is the conveyance/catalyst. Although Truth/The Word/He/The Sun sustains, it is only through Love/The Meaning/She/Sunlight that The Living is maintained otherwise Truth has no meaning - the reality for almost all with the religious being the worst afflicted because they had found The Vacuum and believing it to be Everything. As such, one cannot have knowledge without its empowerment and the lack of empowerment is what causes Fanaticsm/Religiosity in humans. For The Living and The Stone Dead, what the Living-Dead does is the point/reality. To evolve or devolve with Evolution being The Reality and Devolution being The Myth/Relativity. Only within Reality/Divinity, does Truth precedes Love whereas within Relativity/Humanity, Empowerment precedes Knowledge. Uncover this truth and you are then already a part of Truth, another seemingly Catch-22. Such is the reality behind/shadowing Truth-Love. The airy-fairying might declare/believe that All Roads Lead to Rome but the reality is that Only One Road Leads to Rome. For Humanity, that road is not Of Knowledge but Of Absolute Empowerment and those who have yet to realsied what this is do not have it yet.
It is benevolent to realise that when you have the power but not the knowledge [of what the power is really meant for], you will not be able to handle the power and should you have the knowledge but not the means/power to utilising that knowledge absolutely/without Frivolity & Nonsense, you will not be able to handle the knowledge. Simplicities which Elude as Might & Right heads towards their Abyss with Weak & Wrong tagging along helplessly. Although The Divine offers a rope for the purpose of lowering into The Abyss safely, a moment will arrive when that rope run outs. The next few generations will be that rope when The Final Judgement, which begins with self-judgement, enacts - perhaps before the rope runs out otherwise it will leave no option but to either self-lynch or be thrown into an infintely uncontrollable situation. All to no avail because the outcome will be the same, there being no such thing as colours when White is "resurrected". For this reason, ALL humans have Divinity refracted within such that when the absouteness which is within then reflects, The Divine will then be able to see His reflection, oka those who have successfully realised The Journey of Dust To The Source.
