#SINEADO’CONNOR

Singer Sinead O’connor has converted to Islam and changed her name. The controvers­ial Irish performer, known for her song Nothing Compares 2U, released the news via Twitter and revealed that she is now called Shuhada’ Davitt.

@Magdadavit­t77 posted “This is to announce that I am proud to have become a Muslim. This is the natural conclusion of any intelligen­t theologian’s journey. All scripture study leads to Islam. Which makes all other scriptures redundant. I will be given (another) new name. It will be Shuhada’”

@Yasirqadhi replied: “May Allah bless you Sr. Shuhada! As a child of the 80s I grew up listening to your lyrics, & I watched live in the 90’s when you expressed your anger at the Pope for the abuse scandal by tearing up his picture! I always felt you were a deeply religious person. Salam & welcome!”

@aliamjadri­zvi commented: “Sinead O’connor converts to Islam, dons a hijab, and sings the Adhan. Will there be no outrage over this brazen cultural appropriat­ion?”

@Yassinebon­e said: “I’m very happy to hear Sinead O’connor, the famous singer from Ireland, has converted to Islam. May Allah bless our sister Shuhada and make her a role model for her people, and all of us.”
