Mosque leaders went easier on Selena.Maybe they're just not that into her. ||||| Selena Gomez spent at least part of New Year's Day dealing with a controversy that sprung up in the wake of a photo she posted to Instagram. The offending picture showed Gomez flashing her ankle inside the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi. It has since been deleted by the pop star. 
 
 According to TMZ, mosque leaders found the pose "disrespectful." Per the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque visitor website, "modest, conservative, loose fitting clothing" is required for guests, and women are instructed to wear skirts that are "ankle length." 
 
 Gomez visited Abu Dhabi with, among others, Kendall Jenner. A photo of Gomez and her friends at the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque was also deleted from Instagram. He had previously remained up, even following the ankle controversy. 
 
 This post has been updated to indicate that Gomez deleted another photo from her trip. ||||| The pop singer has removed an Instagram post in which she exposes her lower leg 
 
 Selena Gomez's trip to Abu Dhabi has provoked anger, accusations of impropriety and now a deleted Instagram post after the pop star exposed her ankles during a visit to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque earlier this week. 
 
 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.

 The ankle-exposing Instagram post has been deleted, but the group shot is still up for view. User comments include "Just because you're not Muslim doesn't mean you don't have to follow Muslim tradition in a Muslim place," and "The thing is, whichever religion you are, respect others and their beliefs!" 
 
 Gomez has not commented on the controversy yet, and a rep for the singer did not respond to request for comment. Her latest single, "The Heart Wants What It Wants," is at No. 13 on the current Hot 100 chart.

– Selena Gomez stirred up a controversy in Abu Dhabi by posting an Instagram shot of herself flashing her right ankle during a visit to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque there earlier this week. In addition to the ankle-baring photo, Gomez posted a photo to Instagram of herself and friends including Kendall Jenner and Cody Simpson laughing and smiling—activities that, along with women exposing their ankles, are considered disrespectful in a mosque, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Sample comments from angered viewers: "Just because you're not muslim doesn't mean you don't have to follow muslim tradition in a Muslim place." The ankle photo was deleted yesterday, TMZ reports (it has the image), but Gomez has not commented on the controversy. See the other controversial photo—which also includes an exposed ankle—here.
