If Maraji's IG post motivates people to kill others, Maraji is not the problem; their religion is. https://t.co/7iRyDNEbjl

"I'm disappointed in Maraji"

The most Annoying part of this is that the Muslims aren’t even Angry with Maraji, they are busy with their meat
But Sunday school dropouts are carrying the matter on their head like illaya 🤦♂️

"I'm never wasting data on Maraji's skits again"

Your Pastor: Jesus is the only way
You: ride on sir
Maraji: Jesus is the only way
You: Why will a public figure say such only, it’s so insensitive
Local Devil is shocked !!!!

But wait o, don't Muslims have their own heaven? Why do you want to enter the Christian heaven that Maraji was referring to?
I'm kuku going to the Hindu hell, so, I'm a lost cause.

Maraji is a terrible human. She had to pick the biggest day in the Muslim calendar to post that. Do you know that could incite crimes & genocide against humanity? especially in Nigeria where there’s Christian-Muslim strife. 50 people killed themselves in Kaduna not too long ago.

Maraji is cancelled because she posted what she believes? This Generation is full of politically correct snowflakes.

Thinking what Maraji said is offensive is like saying being a Christian is offensive, no one should be offended. If a Muslim says what they believe in and that they don’t believe in Jesus I wouldn’t be offended because we cannot all believe in the same things.

😂Christians on twitter attacking Maraji don’t know what Christianity is.They think it’s arguing about tithes with Freeze.Jesus was offensive because he said exactly what Maraji posted & he also said you’d be offensive to people & be “cancelled “ when you say it.She believes him

While @Maraji_ is entitled to her belief that all religions other than Christianity are false, she’s insensitive to her fans in that regard. We all believe our religion is THE answer, but there’s wisdom in knowing how to deal with a diverse society, especially as a public figure.

Muslims please remember Surat Al Kafirun and leave Maraji and her fellowship 😂😂

"Maraji has really fucked up this time. There's no coming back from this.
She's DONE! She's FINISHED!!"Sorry o,King Nomso

Speak your truth. Speak your Truth.
Maraji: Jesus is the only way.Some Nigerians: Maraji Cancelled. Insensitive etc
Religion has always been sensitive.
On a SUNDAY, she preached on HER OWN page, about HER OWN beliefs.
You should, take it or leave it.
Her choice. Your choice! pic.twitter.com/4Txdj44DJ6— Dr Chioma Nwakanma (@DrZobo) August 12, 2019
Most Christians believe other religions are wrong and their adherents will burn in hell.
Most Muslims believe other religions are wrong and their adherents will burn in hell.
Same with Hindus, Sikhs, Judaists etc. It is the nature of Religion. Maraji didn't say anything new
