By Sam Webb PUBLISHED: 06:22 EST, 29 November 2012 | UPDATED: 13:10 EST, 29 November 2012 Reality TV star Kim Kardashian has sparked anger in the Middle East as she touches down in the region for a store launch and publicity tour. Kardashian, the curvy beauty who shot to prominence after an infamous sex tape of her emerged in 2007, is in Kuwait and will also visit Bahrain to launch a pair of Millions of Milkshakes franchises in malls. But the deeply conservative and religious nations may not offer her a warm welcome because of controversies surrounding the x-rated video, her short-lived marriage to NBA star Kris Humphries and a recent furore over her tweets supporting the people of Israel during the recent conflict with Palestine.
