Rita Sahatçiu , lindi në Prishtinë ( 26 nëntor 1990),ajo së bashku më prindër u shpërngul që në fëmijëri në Londër.Rita ka diplomuar në Kolegjin katolik St Charles Catholic Sixth. Në moshën 14 vjeqare, ajo filloi të mirret seriozisht më muzikë,tash është njera prej këngëtarëve shqiptare me famë botërore, Rita Ora, ka pranuar se ajo është shqiptare me kulturë muslimane dhe se nuk bën të akuzohen muslimanët për vrasjet në Paris.
Në një llogari që besohet se është personalja e këngëtares, ajo ka shkruar se është me kulturë islame dhe se muslimanët nuk janë terroristë.
Ajo thotë se thirrjet për vrasje ndaj muslimanëve në rrjetet sociale nuk janë të duhura dhe ka kërkuar paqe e dashuri mes të gjithëve.
“Unë besoj në Zot dhe jam me kulturë islame.
Këto thirrje për t'u vrarë të gjithë msulimanët po ma thyen zemrën. Muslimanët nuk janë terroristë”.
“Të fajësosh dhe të urresh scilin musliman për aktin është absurd. Këta që vrazin në emër të Zotit s'janë muslimanë. Ata janë vetëm terroristë. Islami është për dashuri, paqe, liri dhe barazi.
Muslimanët i dashurojnë qeniet e gjalla dhe shpërndajnë dashuri gjithandej. Mos besoni atë që thuhet në media. Mos shpërndani urrejtje.
Zoti na bekoftë të gjithëve, krishterët e muzlimanët, ne të gjithë jemi fëmijët e Zotit”, u shpreh Rita në llogarinë e saj personale.
Siç raporton tabloidi britanik Dailymail, që sjell dhe foto ekskluzive nga ky moment, Rita u mahnit kaq shumë nga zëri i njërit prej konkurrentëve sa ra nga karrigia.
Ylli i hitit “Hot Right Now” e mori veten shpejt nga ky incident “fatkeq” dhe pasi ia doli që ta rekrutonte konkurentin në skuadrën e saj, ajo i bëri atij edhe një masazh si për të hequr sikletin e asaj që sapo kishte ndodhur.
