GLITZY socialite Paris Hilton has outraged Muslims by opening a new shop — in their holy city of MECCA.
Quote:
They took to social networking sites to vent their anger at the blonde celebrity — who famously starred in an internet sex tape.
One said the development was “insulting Mecca” — the holiest city for the world’s 1.2 billion Muslims. Others said the bags and accessories outlet in Saudi Arabia was an “affront” to the “principal sanctuary” of Islam.
One tweeted: “How can someone who made such a video open a store in the holy city next to the Grand Mosque?”
And a further added: “It is not acceptable to have such a woman open her store here.”
I doubt they'll shut it down. I'm sure people will buy, if the controversy doesn't shut down the store and they boycott then abysmal sales will be the reason. I'm sure her 'line' is around saudi arabia though so she probably noticed the demand in the market and opened a store. Get your money Paris.
I'm sure she was eyeing the money rather than the controversy, her brand in the western world isn't as hot as it used to be. Gotta keep that machine well-oiled.

I know. It's their problem. Whatever video was leaked in the past, has nothing to do with who she is now. They are pressed. Like, how can a damn store destroy your belief? It's not like she built a store in the Kaaba.
It's not like she's selling sex toys. Let her be. And who are they to say who's allowed to open a business in their city? I get that it's a holy city but she's not doing anything disrespectful, they're just offended because of who she is which isn't fair.
