Paris Hilton’s fifth handbag and accessories shop in Saudi Arabia has been accused of affronting the principals of Islam, and earned her a backlash of Twitter abuse in the process.
The American socialite and hotel heiress who’s Twitter is awash with optimistic, life-affirming titbits such as - “Smile, because you’re beautiful… Stand strong, because haters can’t bring you down” and “I love black and white photographs. They are always so timeless” - has sparked controversy in the Middle East. From the very same account.
Posting a picture of her new accessories store in Saudi Arabia’s holy city of Mecca - don’t worry, we weren’t fully aware of this best-selling handbag line either - Paris caused a backlash of abuse from an insulted Islamic community, with some claiming it as an “affront” to the “principal sanctuary” of the religion.
Her bubbly Tweet - “Loving my beautiful new store that just opened at Mecca Mall in Saudi Arabia!” - was met with disgruntled comments such as: “Saudi claim there are other ways to allow for pilgrims, and if religiosity is of such importance, why is Paris Hilton being allowed a store in Mecca?” The first comment was merely the understated, yet powerful “R u kidding?”, according to the New York Daily News .
Others latched on to The Simple Life starlet’s previous sex tape scandal, noting: “How can someone who made such a video open a store in the holy city next to the Grand Mosque?”
Re: Paris Hilton sparks outrage by opening store in Mecca
Well time is coming when make beliefs and blind faith has to go. We could change the world for the better by educating ourselves and others properly and taking the leading role or simply sit tight and remain ignorant an foolish and try isolating ourselves from the rest of the world. The second option is not up to us and those who know better will become leaders and we will be dragged along screaming and kicking.

Another example of calling people TTP supporter when there is no evidence for it. This kind of ludicrous mindset needs to stop.

Don't know whats the problem in it she didn't entered Makkah and she is also not selling any Haram items so what's the problem in Islam Muslims can trade with kafirs as long their method and the thing in which they are trading is Halal
