Dublin –
Irish pop singer Sinéad O 'Connor is converted to Islam. This was announced Friday by the Irish Islam Association, the Irish Association on Islam.
O & # 39; Connor's decision comes "after a lifetime of research and learning," says the message. O 'Connor was best known for his cover version of the 1990 Prince's song "Nothing Compares 2 U".
In an Internet video, we see how O & # 39; Connor imitates the Islamic creed (Shahada) an imam. Umar al-Qadri, the Islamic cleric and head of a mosque in Dublin, posted the video on his Twitter account on Friday.
O & # 39; Connor gives himself a new name
O 'Connor himself thanked Twitter for "all my Muslim brothers and sisters" who welcomed them into the denomination.
O 'Connor has apparently changed the unverified account into "Shuhada" Davitt "for a while. She posted pictures of her wearing a headscarf and a video showing how she sings the call to Islamic prayer.
He has already been ordained a priestess
The name Shuhada & # 39; is the plural of the Arabic word for martyr and a common female given name. This is not the name change of the singer. O 'Connor already is called Magda Davitt.
She is known for her spiritual experiences. In 1999, she made headlines when she divorced a Catholic priesthood faction.
At that time, she wanted to call Mother Bernadette Mary. Again and again, O & # 39; Connor had to deal with mental difficulties.
