Speaking via her Instagram page, she wrote, “Christianity by birth, Muslim by marriage over here. God is love! Humanity always. I have never been a discriminator of any religion. My relationship with God is what matters most and how I treat my fellow human being.
“It’s not a war, it’s not a competition, neither is it a debate. Preach love and act in love first. No matter the religion, no matter the color, no matter the tribe, love comes first because God is love.”
