Backlash: The video, which also shows the girl dancing with a masked street performer while wearing the hijab, pictured, has sparked widespread criticism on social media
A Muslim teenager has received death threats after she was filmed twerking in a busy city centre while wearing the hijab.

The girl, believed to be 17, was caught on camera as she danced provocatively with a friend and a street performer in front of a crowd in Birmingham.
The short clip was posted on social media and has since gone viral, sparking widespread criticism from other members of the Muslim community who branded her a 'f****** s***'. One wrote: 'Stupid b**** needs to be killed.'

The girl later publicly apologised for her actions in a YouTube interview, saying she had 'disrespected' the religious veil.

Provocative: The Muslim teenager, whose face has been blurred, was caught on camera as she twerked with a friend while shopping in Birmingham city centre in a video that has gone viral

Speaking later in an interview, the girl explained she was shopping with friends when they came across a man playing music on the street.

The girl, wearing long, loose clothing, was filmed as she danced to the R&B track, squatting down as she thrust her bottom back towards her friend.

At one point the friend made way for the male street performer, who lifted an arm into the air as he gyrated with the young woman. She appeared to be in good spirits, smiling, clapping and singing along.
