LONDON -- Irish singer Sinead O'Connor has announced she has converted to Islam and said she has changed her name to Shuhada' Davitt. The 51-year-old has been posting selfies of herself wearing hijabs on Twitter in recent days, as well as a video in which she sang the Azan, or call to prayer.

She tweeted on Oct. 19: "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."

The singer ripped up a picture of Pope John Paul II during a Saturday Night Live appearance in 1992 as a protest against the Catholic Church.

Here is my 1st attempt at singing the Azan. I got some pronouncition wrong because emotions took me from my page... but there’ll be hundreds of others onstage to come ... https://t.co/vDFyheqOOc

O'Connor's struggles with mental illness have been very public.

Last August, O'Connor recorded a tearful video from a motel room in New Jersey in which she said she suffers from "three mental illnesses," and slammed her family members, accusing them of leaving her entirely alone in the world.

In May 2016, police in Wilmette, Illinois searched for the singer after she wrote a cryptic note on Facebook and went out for a bike ride. A concerned doctor called police and asked them to perform a well-being check. In November 2015, she was hospitalized after she posted what appeared to be a suicide note on Facebook and took an overdose.

The singer has talked openly before about her bipolar diagnosis, which she received more than a decade ago. She spoke with Oprah Winfrey in 2007 and said that she had struggled with anxiety and suicidal thoughts before her diagnosis, and that while medication was helping her, "it's a work in progress."

At least Yusef Islam will be able to give her some advice.

(To be fair, Islam (fka Cat Stevens) seems to be sincere in his conversion, and he has been a Muslim for decades now. We'll see with O'Connor. She seems considerably less stable.)

She was and always will be S'hithead O'Connor to me.

She’s nuttier than rat crap in a pistachio factory...

Dumb bitch.

does she have to wear the hajib??

I won't consider her a "convert to Islam" until she spends a few years in northern Helmand living as a muslim woman. I want her to soak up the full experience.

Until then she is just playing make believe.

I'm not sure the goat humpers would touch that....

Cat Stevens has remained relatively quiet since his conversion. Hopefully O'Connor can do better.

I understand. But, I found out what her name is really all about. "Sinead" is actually a very old Galec term meaning, "Shiny Head." When she was born she had not a single hair on her head and her Great Grandmother took one look at her and immediately said, "Sinead!"

This explains why she shaved her head after she achieved some degree of stardom. It was to pay homage to her Great Grandmother.

Maybe she'll do the world a favor and become an ISIS bride or is that too cruel for people who put others in a cage and burn them alive?

Ever since seeing this Frank Sinatra SNL skit, she'll always be Sinbad O'Connor to me:

What a fookin dingbat. Love to see her open her trap in one of the crazier London mosques.

Loved her single mandika back in the early 90's but remember she started coming off the rails afterwords.

The fox new report on her was funny. I guess Russell Brand offered her some mental help via twatter and she responded she needed a good rogering instead. The exchange was quite funny, crude old bat.

Ya think?

Hard to believe that someone can be that crazy for so long and still be alive.

LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME <my career is in the shitter> LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME.

Chunky peanut butter doesn't have a thing on this perpetually troubled woman.

I thought the Azan was a male only gig.

I always wonder, how people this dumb find their way home at night .
