After converting to Islam, Sinéad O’Connor says she doesn’t want to be with white people.
O’Connor, who now goes by the name Shuhada Davitt, tweeted her “racist” statement in a series of tweets disparaging non-Muslim culture.
“I’m terribly sorry. What I’m about to say is something so racist I never thought my soul could ever feel it. But truly I never wanna spend time with white people again (if that’s what non-muslims are called),” she tweeted. “Not for one moment, for any reason. They are disgusting.”
The 51-year-old “Nothing Compares 2 U” singer also criticized Twitter’s policy on blocking hate speech, writing, “Interesting to see if Twitter bans this when it allows people like Trump and Milbank spew the satanic filth upon even my country.”
A known critic of the Catholic Church, O’Connor also discussed the role of violence in religions such as Islam, Judaism and Christianity.
“There is no more talk of ancient violence in the Q’ran as the Tanukh, the Bible or The sodding [Mahabharata]. And its ALL EQUALLY [IRRELEVANT] TO OUR TIMES,” she wrote, adding the hashtag “#ReignOfWhiteMANover.”
O’Connor ended her rant with an acknowledgment of how strange her tirade appeared. “Final word. If its ‘Crazy’ to care. Then by all means, spank my ass and call me Fruity loops : )” she wrote.
O’Connor changed her name last year to Magda Davitt, saying in an interview that she wanted to be “free of parental curses.”
