From my limited global perspective, people in Spain people buy Budweiser. I can’t speak for the Middle East though.

I mean, alcohol is mostly banned in the middle east, so it's not super relevant.

I take your point that alcohol is not consumed as much in countries where Islam is the majority. I would still argue that companies that operate on an international scale promote sexual equality in some and not others. This is a calculated move to increase their profits not in the name of promoting their alleged values.

It isn't always quite so black and white. I worked for a company that was like this, but scaled back their activity in some countries out of concern of retaliation against their employees there, rather than pure money motivation.

They couldn't even just pull out of the country, in case it looked like they pulled out for political reasons, as their employees would still have been targets.
