It gets worse - the guy was flying to Ukraine so he could "help" by singing about Jesus at refugees who'd just fled war zones and were stuck at the train station:

Crap. This is even worse. This guy is harrassing refugees? Damn this stuff should be illegal.

Wah, this is really vile and opportunistic. To use the grave suffering of others as a chance to proselytize.
Imagine your home getting bombed out, your friends or family missing, some dead... the last thing you need is this sheltered privileged Singaporean boy banging on his guitar, telling you how awesome Jesus is.
The level of self-entitlement and tone-deafness is out of hand. And the worst is, this awful Christian dude will prob head home feeling so good about himself. And any criticisms like ours would prob be dismissed as anti-Christian bias anyway, or worse, Satan planting doubts in his mind. It's just... gross.
US Muslim politician Ilhan Omar Didn't Criticize This Christian Plane Concert, But I Will
Unless your church group bought up all the tickets, this is incredibly presumptuous and rude.

"Ilhan Omar SLAMMED! for criticizing video showing people singing Christian songs on plane," read a headline from the New York Post—emphasis mine—that doubled as the starting gun for what's sure to be a typically non-stupid week in this country. Did the Minnesota congresswoman critique the musical quality of the performance? Did she say these Christians are infidels? Did she even suggest you shouldn't subject people confined for hours to a small metal tube to a concert there's no indication they signed up for? Well, no. She said this:
I'm not seeing the criticism here. I'm seeing a salient point about how Muslim Americans could not and would not try anything remotely similar to this on a plane. This is a statement about the limits on religious expression for followers of Islam compared to other faiths, not some attack on the Christian heroes encouraging everyone on board to worship Jesus with them. This did not stop the Post from rounding up right-wing tweets criticizing Omar for criticizing the Christians.
"Why do you hate Christians, Ilhan?" tweeted Vernon Jones, a Georgia congressional candidate. "If the freedom of religion we enjoy here in America disturbs you, feel free to pack your bags and head back to Somalia, Sudan, or wherever you’re from. Take your brother with you."
