The Irish rockstar Sinead O'Connor, who was ordained a priest by a fringe Catholic group in the 1990s, announced on Twitter that she has converted to Islam from Catholicism and changed her name to Shuhada which means "martyrs" in Arabic.
Sharing a picture of herself wearing a hijab, the mother-of-four, wrote:
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.
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.
