Pop starlet Selena Gomez was so heavily criticized for posting pictures of herself flashing her ankle inside Abu Dhabi's Grand Mosque on Instagram that she appears to have deleted the evidence altogether.

A second picture, showing Gomez and fellow musicians Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, Cody Simpson and Shay Mitchell smiling and striking poses has also been lambasted but remained on her Instagram Thursday.

Mosque visiting rules strictly ban all 'intimate behavior' including holding hands and kissing, and states that all skirts must be ankle-length.

Commenting on the picture, Alaa Almitwally said: 'Disrecpectful! It's a religion place not a place to have fun in, so disappointed.'

Meanwhile another user, Ayisha Elturk, said: 'If their intent was to learn about Islam they wouldn't be posing like they were standing outside and amusement park.

'I like Selena Gomez but to have her do something like this makes me no longer a fan.'

I am not a fan of the Islamic cult, but if you are a guest in someone’s house, you abide by their rules. If you chose to enter one of their mosques (why in the world one would willing chose to do so is beyond me), and their rules clearly state you need to be bundled up in a garbage bag, or burlap sack, or whatever, from head to toe - you comply.

I think you are correct.

Fairly boorish behavior, IMO, even if it was Saint Peter's Basilica. Plus, in foreign lands, they might well cut a visitor's head off at the drop of ... an ankle.

It was boorish and dumb!

Whatever.

There are houses that simply do not deserve to exist.

Right? I’m telling you, the world my grandkids are going to inherit scares the hell out of me if this madness called Islam isn’t wiped off the earth or at least put in a cage.

She was an idiot for going into a mosque in the first place.

[SIRTRIS]

The new Obamarites in full action & dress!

[CptnObvious]

From the picture, the showing of the ankle was deliberate. She is posing it.

[dfwgator]

Ugly Americans personified.

Now that was very well stated!!!

Everybody should keep this in mind. The ultimate goal of the Muslims is to exterminate all non-Muslims from the face of the Earth and establish a world-wide government under Sharia law.

[occamrzr06]

I was hoping for a more seductive ankle shot.

[NormsRevenge]

Why do I get the feeeling Muslims would not have handled the Garden of Eden in its hayday either.

I have little Faith that they will ever be comfortable in this plane of life.

[Sasparilla]

Of course they are upset. Mosque property must only be used for be headings, stonings, and traumatic amputation of limbs.

These are the kind of morons who would take a selfie at Auschwitz.

I for one am sick of having Hollywood treat the world like it’s their little playground.

Muzzie No. 1: “American infidel movie children! Look at them! They mock us!” Muzzie No.2: “Allah Ackbar! We will collect their heads! Then they will mock us no more!” Muzzie No. 1 “But what of Obama? Our brother is in bed with the Hollywood filthy infidels! Will he not mind if we slaughter his followers oh one who humps goats?! Muzzie No. 2 “He will not mind oh one who diddles Camels....His love of islam comes way before any of his Hollywood toadies”.

Your verb tense is assuming they haven’t already.

[dfwgator]

True.

Not long ago, I remember her d-bag boyfriend Justin Bieber tweeting from Holland that he hoped Anne Frank would have been a “Belieber”.
