    Very true, but she was also a religious nut. I’m glad she did what she did, even though almost no one understood the protest at the time, but she was her own brand of crazy Catholic.

        I’m doing some reading on that now. She apparently said she was always a Muslim which… I have no idea how that works.

          Yea, she converted to islam and then called all non-muslims disgusting or something along those lines. She then claimed she said that to get kicked off from twitter.

          Why you’d go from Catholic to Islam is a mystery but each to their own. She was however far from a shining example of mental stability.

    “Ms O’Connor converted to Islam in 2018 and changed her name to Shuhada Sadaqat, though continued to perform under the name Sinead O’Connor.”

    That’s utterly bizarre. Thought she was against the church and child abuse.

      After her conversion to Islam, O’Connor called those who were not Muslims “disgusting” and criticised Christian and Jewish theologians on Twitter in November 2018. She wrote: “What I’m about to say is something so racist I never thought my soul could ever feel it. But truly I never wanna spend time with white people again (if that’s what non-muslims are called). Not for one moment, for any reason. They are disgusting.”[96][97]

    Conservatives canceled O’Connor long before the same Conservatives started crying about being canceled for doing what she was protesting about and got canceled for.
