DUBAI RETAILER BANS DONALD TRUMP'S PRODUCTS FROM ITS STORES

A major retailer in the Middle East is dumping Donald Trump after he called for Muslims to be banned from traveling to the United States.
Lifestyle, a home decor chain based in Dubai, is removing all Trump-branded products from the shelves of its 195 outlets across the Middle East, North Africa, Pakistan and Tanzania.

"In light of the recent statements made by the presidential candidate in the U.S. media, we have suspended sale of all products from the Trump Home décor range," said Lifestyle CEO Sachin Mundhwa. Lifestyle is a subsidiary of Landmark Group.

The Trump Organization was not immediately available for comment.
Others from the Middle East business community have also expressed dismay with Trump's remarks.

"It was a shocking comment," Dubai property mogul Khalaf Al-Habtoor told CNN. "These Muslims -- they are investing billions and billions in the United States and creating jobs for the Americans."
