Irish singer-songwriter Sinead O'Connor has apparently left Catholicism and converted to Islam.
O'Connor revealed her decision on an unverified Twitter account @MagdaDavitt77 (her verified Twitter account @SineadOconnorHQ has been inactive since 2014), and the news has also been reported by several news portals.
The 51-year-old Dublin singer revealed she had changed her name to Shuhada Davitt. She legally changed her name to Magda Davitt last year, the Independent of Ireland reported.
"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," she wrote on Twitter.
O'Connor also posted videos of her attempting the azan – the Islamic call to prayer.
She wrote that it was her first attempt at this and added, "I got some pronunciation [sic] wrong because emotions took me from my page... but there’ll be hundreds of others onstage to come.
"Sorry re all the mistakes in my Azan.... 1st attempt. When I’ve practiced it 30 times i’m Gonna make the world stop turning," O'Connor tweeted.
