Libya's top religious authority, the Dar al-Ifta, has issued a ruling against wearing and displaying clothing made by the US company Nike, according to a report by BBC News.

The religious authority stated that displaying the sportswear brand's logo is unIslamic. The decision was made because the American corporation was named after the ancient Greek goddess of victory.

The decree highlights concerns regarding the public display of symbols connected to non-Islamic deities and mythology.
