Israeli Ultra-Orthodox Site Cuts Kim Kardashian from Photo
An Israeli ultra-Orthodox Jewish news website has cut Kim Kardashian — one of the world's most photographed women — from a photo taken of her in Jerusalem this week.
The original photo of Kardashian, her husband, Kanye West, and Jerusalem's Mayor Nir Barkat was altered to put Kardashian behind a restaurant receipt. Kardashian was blurred in another.
Nissim Ben Haim, an editor at the Kikar HaShabbat website, said Wednesday they removed Kardashian because she's a "pornographic symbol" who contradicts ultra-Orthodox values.
In an article chiding Barkat for dining with them at a non-kosher restaurant, Kardashian was referred to as "West's wife."
Within the insular Ultra-Orthodox community, pictures of women often aren't shown out of modesty. In January, an ultra-Orthodox newspaper removed German chancellor Angela Merkel from a photo.

It is not another nation that has not yet come into the light. It is a fanatic fringe of Judaism which still lives in the 17th-18th Centuries.
The very fact that she was in Jerusalem, and met with the Mayor shows that mainstream Judaism accepts women.
And whilst we are at it, all those Moslem women who are covered in a burka, is that better? Again it is only a fanatic fringe of Islam which demands this.

Another nation that has not yet come into the light....Thank you Lord that you did not make me a Jew or muzlim
