Sinead O'Connor Reveals She's Converted to Islam: 'I Am Proud to Have Become a Muslim'
Sinead O’Connor has a new religion — and a new name.
Last week, the “Nothing Compares 2 U” singer, revealed on Twitter that she had converted to Islam.
“This is to announce that I am proud to have become a Muslim,” O’Connor wrote on Oct. 19, explaining that her new faith “is the natural conclusion of any intelligent theologian’s journey.”
“All scripture leads to Islam. Which makes all other scriptures redundant,” she added, before revealing she would henceforth be known by a new name. “I will be given (another) new name. It will be Shuhada.'”
In addition to changing her name on her Twitter page, the singer also replaced her profile picture with a photo that reads “Wear a hijab just do it” alongside the Nike swoosh logo. Additionally, her Twitter bio now reads, “PLEASE BE AWARE THAT IF YOU POST RACIST OR ANTI MUSLIM RHETORIC ON THIS PAGE YOU WILL BE BLOCKED.”
Muslims in these countries are lucky to regularly hear such good news.
We regularly hear girls in large numbers leaving islam. This is not ghuloo. It is mandatory to announce in news paper about the name change and also to put their photos on marriage registrar office notice board.
They challenge, do you or your son get married to us with out any dowry demands. This boy did not demand anything.
The practice of highlighting positive news about Muslims in these countries is a refreshing perspective, celebrating significant life events. The emphasis on transparency, such as announcing name changes and showcasing commitment over dowry demands, challenges societal norms while reflecting a progressive and empowering stance.
Some Muslim-majority countries have taken steps towards transparency by announcing name changes. This allows individuals to choose names that better reflect their identity and aspirations. In certain communities groups, there has been a push to eliminate dowry demands. This progressive stance challenges traditional practices and promotes equality in marriage.
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
