slammed for tricking teenagers into
agreeing to convert to Islam to win
Justin Bieber tickets.
Five teenage girls agreed to convert
on the promise they would receive
tickets to see the pop star – totally
unaware they were being duped for
a spoof show.
The Anne-Kat Hærland comedy show
saw the girls remove their makeup,
wear hijabs and recite Islamic creed
in Arabic.
Bishop Halvor Nordhaug, from the
Norwegian Lutheran Church, told
Norwegian paper Dagen he thought
the stunt was "tragic".
He said: "This is an example of an
idea where irony and lack of respect
turns into something tragic.
"I believe the contest is a foolish
statement and it shows a lack of
respect for what faith means."
The girls were also told to repeat
what translated to: "Justin Bieber is
impure and probably gay."
The show's presenter said: "We
wanted to find out how far
Norwegian 'Beliebers' are willing to
go for tickets to one of Bieber's
concerts."
Justin Bieber recently cancelled a
concert in Oman after Muslim leaders
in the country criticised the singer
and deemed his moves "too sexy".
Bieber was in Norway earlier this
month as part of his world tour.
