Sinead O'Connor announces she has converted to Islam from Catholicism

Sinead O’Connor has converted to Islam from Catholicism and changed her name to Shuhada which means “martyrs” in Arabic.

The Irish rockstar, who was ordained a priest by a fringe Catholic group in the 1990s, announced the news on Twitter.

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.

Last Friday O’Connor shared a video of herself singing the Islamic call to prayer called the Adhan.Sinead O'Connor announces she has converted to Islam from Catholicism

She wrote:

Here is my attempt at singing the Azan [sic]. I got some pronouncition [sic] wrong because emotions took me from my page…but there’ll be hundreds of others onstage to come.

O’Connor last changed her name in 2017 to Magda Davitt, saying in an interview that she wished to be “free of parental curses”.

In the 1990s, she shocked members of the Roman Catholic Church where women can’t be priests as she was ordained a priest by the Irish Orthodox and Apostolic Church.
