While touring Abu Dhabi, American pop chipmunk Selena Gomez visited the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and managed to piss off a lot of people. Not as many as when Justin Bieber visited the Anne Frank House — she didn’t write, “Muhammad was a great guy. Hopefully he would have been a Belieber” — but many Muslims are upset at her for disrespecting their beliefs.
Gomez and her posse posted two photos at the mosque that caused a flood of Instagram outrage: one, with a group that included Cody Simpson and Kendall Jenner, posing and laughing in the mosque; and another in which Gomez poses exposing her lower right leg and ankle. Both acts in a mosque — waggling a bare ankle and laughing/smiling — are considered signs of disrespect in the Muslim culture. (Via)
This is one of the two photos in question.
Meanwhile, this GIF offended EVERYONE, Muslims, Jews, Christians, and atheists alike.
Our uneasy disgust for the Beebs could be the first step toward world peace.
