T.V. reality star Kim Kardashian caused an outcry when she went to Bahrain for the opening of a product she's endorsing "Millions of Milkshakes" franchise when around 100 Sunni Salafists gathered to protest against her saying that she has a "bad reputation" and will negatively affect the minds of the young ones.
For an appearance at The Walk Bahrain, an upmarket mall in the capital Manama, thousands of fans paid up to 500 Bahraini dinars ($1,360) for a ticket to get to see the 32-year old who shot to fame after a leaked sex tape of her in 2007.
Kim Kardashian protest began even before she arrived in Bahrain from Kuwait, where she opened another store last week.
Hardline Sunni Muslim MPs presented a motion to parliament calling her "an actress with an extremely bad reputation", according to Bahrain's English language Gulf Daily News.
Kardashian protesters were chanting "God is Great" near the shopping complex, around 12 miles south of the capital Manama, according to the Associated Press. The demonstrators were cleared before Kardashian appeared late Saturday.
Meanwhile, Kardashian tweeted about Bahrain on her Twitter account, calling it "the prettiest place on earth." It was re-Tweeted by Bahrain's foreign minister.
