Rihanna was asked to leave after "posing
inappropriately" in the courtyard of the Sheikh Zayed
Grand Mosque.
-- Pop princess Rihanna sells albums with her
sultry, attention-grabbing poses. But during a visit to
the United Arab Emirates, her poses got her into hot
water.
While in town for a concert, the singer visited the
courtyard of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Center.
The landmark mosque said it asked her to leave after
she posed for photos inappropriately on its grounds.
A covered-up Rihanna was decked out in a dark outfit,
complete with what looked like the head gear worn by
Muslim women. She posed in bright red lipstick and
posted the pictures on her Instagram account.
In one photo, she's lying on her back. She
captioned it "no tan lines."
In another shot, her arms are akimbo as
she glances over her shoulder.
"She was asked to leave before entering
the actual mosque, (she was in the
courtyard taking pictures) after taking
some photos that did not fit within the rules and
regulations set out to preserve the sacredness of the
center," the mosque said in a statement.
The singer did not immediately respond to the
controversy about her photos. She was in town for a
concert Saturday night.
