Topless Justin Bieber and symbols of Jesus Christ - two things that just won't fly in the Middle East, where Justin's new album has been rejected for being too provocative.<br />Sources close to the situation tell TMZ ... Bieber's "Purpose" album is getting the bum's rush in several Middle Eastern countries, as well as Indonesia - predominantly Muslim regions.<br />We're told the issue is twofold: Justin being shirtless, and the cross tattoo on his chest.<br />We're told team Bieber is scrambling right now to come up with an alternate cover for those countries - 'cause let's face it, the bottom line is pushing the music and making money.<br />Still unclear at this point what imagery will be on the redesigned cover.
