Since the broadcast, Marcella has had to digest all sorts of comments. She is called a ‘traitor’ and a ‘whore’. Comparisons are made with the Second World War and Islam is also having a hard time. “I called it Eid, but that could also have been Pesach, or any other religious holiday. I would be happy to give space to other holidays, but if you want to celebrate Ascension, then you do it, don’t you? People are so afraid of people with a different religion,” said Marcella.
