Kim Kardashian Shakes Bahrain

CNN – BLOGS – INSIDE THE MIDDLE EAST: American reality TV star and all-around celebrity Kim Kardashian can't seem to please anyone in the Middle East these days.

Weeks after a causing outrage on Twitter with her comments on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, her appearance in the Gulf Kindgom of Bahrain yesterday to open a branch of a milkshake franchise literally caused a riot.

While throngs of adoring fans paid up to $1,200 to attend her appearance at a mall, about 100 hardline Islamists took to the streets outside in protest where, according to reports, police used stun grenades to disperse the crowd.

One protestor held a particularly crude banner that read "Syria receives martyrs while Bahrain receives whores." » | IME | Sunday, December 02, 2012
