Sinead O'Connor converts to Islam, changes name

She converted to Catholicism last year and changed her name to Magda Davitt, Metro reported.

"This is to announce that I am proud to have become a Muslim," she wrote on Twitter. "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."

Irish Imam Shaykh Dr Umar al-Qadri posted a video on Twitter of the singer giving the Islamic declaration of faith.
