Hardline Islamic protesters rioted over Kim Kardashian being in their country of Bahrain on Saturday.
Riot police fired tear gas into the crowd, putting down protesters holding signs that said "Kim Not Welcome," some in Arabic and others in English.
The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star is in Bahrain for the opening of a Millions of Milkshakes store near the capital city of Manama and had staged photo ops with many smiling locals.
As RadarOnline.com reported, Kim was in Kuwait on Wednesday for another store launch.
Her visit there was equally controversial.
"Her values clash with our traditions as a religiously committed people," Mohammad Al Tabtabai, a Kuwaiti preacher, told the Gulf News. "Her visit could help spread vice among our youth."
