Interesting

Thanks for the pointless tweet. Why should I care about anybody else's religious choices? Aren't we free to make our own, personal choices?

Not news.

Isn't she the bitch who tore up a picture of the Pope all those years ago? No-thing compares, noo-thing compares, how irrelevant she is. Unless of course, she somehow hooks up with Cat Stevens.

And this is news why? I suspect that she's not the only convert in the past week.

When you're crazy, it's hard to choose an appropriate religion. They all seem so perfect.

Good for her. Why did I need to know this?

I guess her former co-religionists will be issuing fatwas pronto calling for her murder based on apostasy. That's how these things work, right? Or do all religions not do that?

Well, at least she made the news again.

She’s done this before

She’ll be stoned the moment she travels to the middle east if she even has the balls lmfao

TMI

'Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.'

Wonderful. Good luck with your FGM operation for complete conversion.

One hit wonder who became irrelevant a LONG time ago..........bye bye

Wow really-not fake news? What does shuhada mean? SineadOConnor ShuhadaDavitt anybody, anybody-Bueller, Bueller? SaturdayMorning

The best thing we can do for this poor, unhappy child of God is to ignore her and move along.

I hope she can keep her mouth shut. She might be stoned if she spits on their leader. May she find the peace she is seeking.

I thought she was a feminist?

No one cares.

Poor Sinead. Issues.

Wow! So?

Thank Allah, I can sleep easier now. 🤨😴

Isn't Islam the false religion? It was copied by Mohammed so he could codify his power base and control others?

Who cares! But good luck to her.

Somehow I do not find that a surprise. She should expect to be treated as most Muslim women are: as property.

Nothing compares to her

Sooooooo.... ok.

Good for her. She has always taken radical extremes.

whatever

She is mad! I don’t understand.

Those of us who understand her trials and tribulations wish her all the best, for a happier life.

Maybe she will finally get laid. Islam can have her.

🙄🤷🏼‍♀️ no one cares

Maybe her and Cat Stevens can be Bosom Buddies

She's just a freak now and that's all there is to it

LOL SineadOConnorEmbracesIslam

Cat Stevens did this many years ago, too.

sobrave

Just looking for attention

Hope she doesn’t blow anybody up

So she's leaving one nonsensical intolerant religion for another. Though I'm hard pressed to think of any religion that's not ignorant and intolerant especially of every other one.

Who cares? Sinead who?

God bless.

Who cares.... first world issues... how about we discuss real news like children malnourished in Yemen or the lack of mental health care in the U.S....

Religions are humanity's cancer

Great

Hey, wait. That’s my name!

Anyone looking for a home or identity finds it there.

Ya know, other than having fetish for domination I do not see any logical reason why would any woman convert to an oppressive order.

I don't think any cares!

I think some women are truly “touched by the spirit”, meaning no disrespect, they lack roots in on the earth and seek peace outside themselves and this earthly plane.

Is that news Worthy?

😴😴😴😴😴

Crazy is as crazy does

Why is this news? Because she chose Islam?

Not remotely interested

Now tell your religion head to free Asia Bibi AsiaBibi

I hope she finds peace, although I doubt this is her answer 🙏🏻

False religion.

Start a fight with someone in the comments ☺️

Wait until she tears up a picture of Muhammad on nbcsnl

Unfortunately it is hard for me to take this conversion seriously. Ms. O'Connor has struggled with mental illness for so long that I am not confident that this is not just an identity crisis. However, I do not know her personally. I wish her the best.

Lol girl bye

I don’t care. She’s irrelevant.

If she doesn't like the guy running the Vatican, wait till she finds out who administers Mecca.

Zzzzzz😴

Good now go live the good live in a Muslim country.

Gee, I wonder if she's a liberal.

Well, at least she didn't change her name to a number.

Weirdly enough this new name makes more phonetic sense.

Nothing compares 2 u-lulation.

Looking for your truth in existence isn’t a bad thing, unless you’re taking that from others.

Didn't care before certainly don't care now!

No kidding, No surprise to me I remember her tearing up a picture of the pope on SNL. SCUMBAG

Who cares

She looks like she converted to a mummy.

Hey Sinead, you look... *cough* good.

Seems about right...

Bummer.

That’s nice she hasn’t done anything of note since ....... ? Bring back John Lennon. That would be more interesting.

Please stop. Nobody cares.

Like Cat Stevens.

Wtf?

And the psychosis worsens...

Last I knew she was living in a hotel room or something?

SHe definitely has the face for islam!

Good for her. Do what makes you happy

I give cares?

Go join ISIS darling!

TodoEstupido

Who cares

Nothing compares to news!

Religion is poison. All of them.

So what?

😳

Who cares? That's her business!

Who really cares?

Nesrine Malik wrote: 'If there is a God please have mercy on us from the Sinéad O'Connor conversion hot takes.' Agreed.

I hope she doesn't become a suicide bomber

What is a 'hot take?' Haven't heard that term before. I hope that she will keep singing. She has such a beautiful voice.

Not sure why this is news. She was a nut 25 years ago and a forgotten nut today.

Not such a change from one male-dominated and repressive religion, that regulates women to second class citizens, to another. Of course, she has lost all credibility in the real world, not that she cares. Disgusted.

Sinead was always known for being radical, so I hope this conversion doesn't perpetuate any Muslim stereotypes.

So does she “Feel So Different” now?

I honestly thought she'd passed away a few years ago. My bad

Whatever helps a person not commit actual suicide is cool with me

My 2 cents. I can only imagine the mental persecution she dealt w/ from the infamous SNL appearance. I wish her peace & contentment on all levels🕇

Nuts.

Why?

Grenade O'Connor

I hope she finds peace! She has been troubled for a long time!

Good for her, but really, who cares?

She looks happy 😊

MaestraOogway Sad:(

Wow it’s not that far a jump from hating Christianity to going to Islam.

mental illness is real

Ok....and?

As long as she is clear minded and content, it is all that matters.

🙄

Who cares

Wait for her suicide bombing.

Go sinead or whatever your name is now

lawprofblawg redemption! another Cat Stevens. She ran out of Popes wait till she makes a song about the Muslims. Lmao

Cool

Big deal

And according to her new found faith can no longer sing....Her and Cat Stevens can hum together

Who even decided this was news?

I wish to announce that I do not care.

k

Finally a real challenge for Björk.

Does that mean she is banned from entering the US?

Cat Stevens: copy cat

Leaving one death cult to join another - got it.

It is a pity that in most majority Muslim countries, women are forbidden from singing in public.

Great..... Why do we care which religion she chooses? How is this news?

Wisco Oh, goodness. Ceaseless need for attention. Convert to any religion you want. Why is it necessary to publicize? Poor Sinead.

She was always a bit unconventional to be polite!

What number name/religion change is this? I lost count

MashAllah.

Stunt Queen...

Is this a joke? Okaaay

100mg Prozac daily may help

I hope she finds peace

Pretty name, whatever makes her happy.

Why would someone seek media attention for such a personal, spiritual, life changing moment?

First Cat Stevens, now Sinead O'Connor...

I’m really surprised it took her this long

This woman is fascinating. Just full of weird surprises

Please. She has been reported in the past to have serious mental health issues. It seems that this is a clickbait or sensational article at this woman's expense. Why report on somebody changing religion? If she changed from Catholic to Baptist would you report on it?

She supported humankind by converting to Islam as it became evident (& perhaps she realized) that she decompensated. washingtonpost kerathink FoxNews BBCWorld TarekFatah

Wasn't she a Catholic priest at one point? Guess it's just another one of her phases.

The poor thing was misguided and screwed up. Such a tragic story for a talented artist. This really ices the crazy cake. Religious conversion never makes it better. It buries what people run from and gives them new attachments and magic stories 🤦🏼‍♂️

You do you Shuhada. Peace be with you.

Okay, but if she starts ripping up photos of the prophet in public I predict problems. NothingCompares2U

So?

This keeps showing using my feed as a new post. I don’t know why we need to know this more than once. It’s a personal matter, not world news. I wish her well.

Wishing her peace and joy in her personal path.

Who GAF

I really don’t care if someone has changed their religion...don’t we have a lot of important things going on?!

No way.

And this surprises no one

Idiot and ogly

I think Shit Head would have been a better name for her.

Kula Fran and Ollie.

Nothing compares to Shu? Too soon?

Why. I guess ... ok I never was impressed with her work. I never was a fan.

Who?

lawprofblawg Ay bueno cualquier religión es buena cuando la cumples si no pudo con el cristianismo dudo que pueda con algo más intenso

Uhm okay. Honestly I didn't know she was alive any more.

I don't care.

Cool. Can't wait until she tears up a picture of Mohammad live on SNL.

Does that mean no more music?

converting is whatever, but why the name change

Thought she died

Gross

Is Sinéad going to have her clitoris removed? Get jailed and stoned to death if she gets raped? Get married off to a man forty years older than her? Get beat reg. by husband? Shot by brother for dishonoring family?

What a beautiful voice she has.

Whatever makes her happy.

Are you running low on REAL news to report? She's not even relevant in today's pop culture.

Something in this lady’s head has gone terribly wrong. Not long ago she was screaming & yelling about a religion & now she embraces another? If feels like someone suffering from Parkinson’s has now switched to Alzheimer’s. It seems the stupidity of the human race is bottomless.

Maybe now I’ll get noticed.

champagnehoefy

God bless!

But still a Catholic priest as well.

Whatever Chokes Your Chicken. 🐓🐓🐓

Nothing Compares to Moh..,.

sigh

I can't wait to see her tear up a photo of the Prophet Mohammed on TV - just like the good old days!

She's on the no fly list now.

Why not? She's been everything else. Good luck.

This jumping from one monotheistic mythology to another is pretty hysterical... IT'S THE SAME FUCKING THING, LADY! Christianity, Islam, they're two heads of the same snake... followed not too closely by Judaism.

I wonder if she will break a picture of Mohammed? Oh wait there are no pictures of him

She’s the very definition of a “seeker.”

Well that’s one way to stop GAF about the Irish Troubles.

Welcome to the religion of all the prophets and messengers of God. There is no better feeling than having a direct relationship with your Lord and Creator without any intermediaries, men or women. Peace with you Sister

👍

Poor woman. I hope that she’s getting the medical support she needs. Nothing against islam... she’s just been in a lot of mental pain for too many years.

I was a big fan, but WhackAPottumas...

And this matters because?

Dont let the Door hit you on the Ass on the way put ~~~ BBye

And why should we care?

Exactly why is this news?

Who cares

ok. God bless her. Carry on ......

Cannot make up her mind....

She is insane. Sad really...

She was SUCH a talented vocalist but it seems like she's probably exhaustingly annoying as a person.

Not that converting to Islam is worrying, but this woman has been erratic in the past few years and this appears to be the latest episode in her saga

I hope she doesn't do like Yusuf Islam and stop making music😕😕

I’m Muslim and I’m saying if she stayed whatever her religion was before was better than becoming a Muslim lol 😆

Shuota Da Mouf.

Why?

Who?

Whatever brings her peace.

Bless her heart.

Complete whackjob
