Religion has once again come between an Arab celebrity and their fans!
This week, it was the turn of Lebanese starlet Rola Saad to play 'Christian soldier,' as she hit back at some of her Muslim Snapchat followers who criticized her for celebrating Easter Sunday.
The drama unfolded when Rola posted a Snapchat photo of her two-year-old niece, who was lighting a candle in church in celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus.
Dozens of extremist Muslims branded the little girl an "apostate," which didn't go down too well with Rola.
It was time for them to face the music! In response to the haters, the furious aunt posted a video on Instagram telling those who insulted her religion to "back off because they have crossed the line."
She also questioned "when they would finally rid themselves of their ignorance," while stressing that each one of us is free to have their own religious beliefs.
Rola didn't hold back in the second part of the video, telling the cyber trolls that "we teach our children from a young age to respect others, and if you have a problem with us then just 'unfollow' me."
Last year, Lebanese stars Nancy Ajram, Najwa Karam, Elissa, Myriam Fares, Cyrine Abdel Nour, Pascale Machaalani, Jenny Asper, Wael Kfoury, Fairouz, Myriam Klink and Nicole Saba were amongst the celebs under 'cyber' attack for celebrating Easter.
Nicole Saba responded to her verbal attackers by telling them to "get lost and stay away from me."
"Seriously, what a disgrace some of your impoliteness and comments are, which I won't even bother with putting into words. All I'm going to say is get lost and stay away from me if you have any atom of decency left. It is no honor of mine for you to comment on any of my pictures or work. Learn how to respect other people's religion and rituals and you'll then be treated equally, you ignorants," Nicole hit back.
Kfoury followed suit, while Asper warned anyone off from writing hateful comments about her religion or country.
"Happy Easter. Anyone writing about religion or politics on my page will be blocked. If anyone is thinking of writing anything bad or resentful about me, my religion or my country, then they're simply expressing themselves and who they truly are. I couldn't care less about their comments or filth," Asper hit back.
Will this religious hatred ever come to an end?
