Middle East 24 reported that Bieber was called out for allegedly offending Islam and the Muslim community with his choice of attire that included a scarf, white pants and a loose t-shirt.
Back home, Malaysians also took to Twitter to troll the Peaches singer for not covering up her “aurat” while others joked and called her names like “Justinah Biebiriah”.

One user wrote that it was good that he was wearing the ‘hijab’, but that he was unhappy to see him wearing a short sleeve shirt.
Twitter user @arifuretatenkai meanwhile wrote that it was okay for Bieber to wear the “hijab” but not appropriate for him to dance with it.
