Wait a minute..apparently her taking those pictures in the Mosque caused controversy:

Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque wishes to emphasize that it is one of the main religious, cultural and civilizational monuments in the United Arab Emirates.It has been seeking since founded in 2008 to promote cultural exchanges with the people of other cultures, which has become a prominent place on the map for religious tourism in the region. Since opened officially in 2007, the Mosque has become a ​​milestone in the country which meant a large number of worshippers and tourists visiting from within and outside the state .

As part of the cultural activities of the center, it is open to visitors from different nationalities, whether they come in the form of collective formal delegations or in person, to get to know its collection of treasures of Islamic art and aesthetics of Islamic excellence architecture, as well as to participate in some activities, such as the "Spaces of Light" photography competition that attracts thousands of photographers every year from around the world, focusing on the spectacular visual aesthetics in the great architectural edifice .

The Center management strives to ensure the entry visitors are worthy of the mosque and the failure to act in manner that does not fit of a religious place in the event of any conduct which does not take into account the etiquette of entering a mosque and its regulations, such as taking pictures in an inappropriate manner or sitting positions not commensurable with the sanctity of the place, talk loudly or eating offenders, which then are escorted properly highlighting the civilized and tolerant teachings of Islam, which most of the time it is accepted and respected by visitors .

The Centre would like to point to a personal visit incident that was carried out by a singer to the mosque without any prior coordination with the management of the Centre or introducing herself, and through the entrance that is not intended for visitors. The singer was then directed by those on visitor services to go to the portal dedicated to visit the mosque according to the procedures. The singer left before entering the mosque after being asked to do so, because some pictures that were taken did not comply with the terms and conditions laid down by the management of the Centre for organizing visits taking into account the position of the mosque and its inviolability.

Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque always welcoming on receiving visitors and tourists from various countries of the world. It calls for commitment to the ethics of everyone entering the mosque and its visiting regulations which the center is keen to clarify for all coming to visit throughout the day.

We all talked about how amazing Rihanna looked in the photos below, but the mosque officials, however, released an official statement Monday in local papers, saying Rihanna was not only in an area closed off to visitors, but her photo shoot violated the "status and sanctity of the mosque."

The mosque said Rihanna was asked to leave before even entering the mosque.

Masjids/mosques are very conservative houses of worship, so it's not a surprise that in the Middle East, it would be an issue. Taking a picture of the mosque wouldn't be an issue, but it's the fact that she modeled and posed in front of the mosque that seems to be offensive to them.
