Rapper M.I Abaga has been called out by a few Nigerians after he defended Islam saying it is a ‘peaceful religion’ in a tweet responding to someone’s tweet about terrorism in relation to Islam.
The drama started yesterday when a Twitter user shared the story of young children used by the terrorist group Boko Haram to carry out suicide bombings. “Religion of peace,” the tweeter said in sarcasm.
Religion of peace. https://t.co/NeG7vFwM6b

And MI Abaga called him out for stroking Islam in dark shades. “Yes, it is [a religion of peace] and I am a Christian by the way,” he replied the tweeter, adding that “there are criminals and crazy people in every religion.”

This unbiased stand earned the revered rapper a lot of anger from some Nigerian Christians who expressed disappointment at his defense for Islam.
“Are you insane,” one fan asked, and another added, “You are just another proof that you are a celebrity who doesn’t necessarily mean you have sense. It is the most violent religion.”

@MI_Abaga youre not christian. You’re a snake. Christianity rejects Islam. If you think otherwise you dont read your bible.

@MI_Abaga @PrisonPlanet I’m a Christian. I don’t have delusions of grandeur of Islam being peace. I work in Africa, they’re scared of Islam.

See the rapper’s replies to some of the tweets:
The argument dragged for hours, with the rapper struggling to school the fans who expected him to condemn a religion because of the acts of some people.
“It is interesting.. religion which is supposed to inspire love and peace in man.. ends up being the source of so much hate and bile,” he fired back at the Christians when they wouldn’t quit trolling him.
