Rabat - Irish rock singer Sinead O’Connor has announced that she had converted to Islam.
The 51-year old Irish star took to her Twitter to reveal her decision to change her name to Shuhada Davitt.
On October 19, Shuhada tweeted: “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”

“My best friend, Elaine just gave me my 1st Hijab and she got chills all over her body when I put it on. Not gonna post a photo because is intensely personal. And I’m an ugly old hag. But I’m a very, very, very happy old hag.”
She has also posted a picture of herself while she was wearing hijab on October 20.
