Remember Haifa Wehbe's dress that broke the Internet? Well, now ISIS are reportedly threatening to ban Star Academy from airing, after the Lebanese superstar revealed more than she bargained for on one of their live episodes, reported Al Jaras magazine.

The singer's see-through dress put her booty and legs on display. Haifa, however, claimed that it was due to "unfortunate strong stage lighting" that the entire world was able to sneak a peek at her bare body.

ISIS's leader Abu bakr al-Baghdadi is said to be outraged by Haifa's black little number. A member of the extremist group said that al-Baghdadi feels that Haifa's dress makes the Arab world a nation subject to unethical virtues that go against the teachings of Islam.

Not only was Haifa's faux pas a fashion crime of a different kind for ISIS, but for many Arab viewers as well.

One Twitter user, Sawsan Abu Omar, wrote, "After Kim Kardahsian's attempt to break the Internet, I find Haifa Wehbe's see-through dress on Star Academy to be quite modest."

Another hater left a sinister comment, suggesting that "These types of Arab female celebrities need to meet the Islamic State."

Will Haifa's controversial dress bring about the end of Star Academy?
