Nothing wrong with that. Really really shocked though.

Didn't she think she was a Catholic priest a few years ago?

Ok so she's more confused than I realised!

Clearly nothing compares to you...or you...or you when it comes to her religious beliefs 😆

NotANotMan · 25/10/2018 21:14

Bless her. She's desperate for an anchor.

FekkoThePenguin · 25/10/2018 21:14

She's not a very well woman. I thought she was a priest too.

MrsTommyBanks · 25/10/2018 21:16

I think Sinead has an awful lot of pain in her life, and is searching for a way to heal that pain. And if she finds peace in Islam that will be a wonderful thing.
People find peace in many ways.

Rebecca36 · 25/10/2018 21:19

She's always been a tortured soul. I hope she finds some measure of peace in Islam.

Racecardriver · 25/10/2018 21:19

I’m surprised she hasn’t become a bhuddist monk yet. She’s already got the haircut.

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 25/10/2018 21:19

Nothing wrong with becoming a Muslim clearly. But Sinead O’Connor’s journey through life thus far has been troubled and desperately sad. She’s older than me and yet she makes me feel maternal towards her. Poor woman, In desperate need and searching for something she may never find. I hope this decision gives her some peace.

Racecardriver · 25/10/2018 21:19

Shame we won’t he getting any more albums from her though.

PinkHeart5914 · 25/10/2018 21:20

I think she’s just a lost individual, sad really

FekkoThePenguin · 25/10/2018 21:21

Cat Stevens is still recording these days.

Yes, this. She is so fragile. I hope she finds a peaceful way to live.

DollyWilde · 25/10/2018 21:23

She called out the catholic sex scandal many years before it was ‘cool’. She’s undeniably unwell but I respect her for that.

LEMtheoriginal · 25/10/2018 21:27

I too hope she finds peace

trumptrump · 25/10/2018 21:27

I believe she's estranged from all her children too. 

TheFirstOHN · 25/10/2018 21:30

She has been interested in religion and faith for many years. I think she even did a degree in Religious Studies (or similar) as a mature student.

ohnothanks · 25/10/2018 21:39

In and of itself this isn't very noteworthy, many people change religions I guess.

However..... if someone has bipolar I'd imagine there is always that sense of "What if this person is in a manic phase?".
Best of luck to her and as with all people struggling with their demons I truly hope she finds peace. Islam is as good a framework as any for that.

Oblomov18 · 25/10/2018 21:41

Sad. Tortured soul.

puzzledlady · 25/10/2018 21:42

so?

Rory786 · 25/10/2018 21:42

She seems happy, hope she is.

AfterSchoolWorry · 25/10/2018 21:43

Dr Phil didn't 'fix' her then. Sad

Rory786 · 25/10/2018 21:50

What do you mean AfterSchoolWorry ?

Like I said, she seems happy and at peace.

Clawdy · 25/10/2018 22:36

Can't see her ever being "happy and at peace."
