The sad story of Sinead O’Connor is yet another example of a phenomenon that Hugh Fitzgerald has noted many times here at Jihad Watch: that Islam attracts the psychically marginal, who feel comfortable in an uncertain world being completely controlled, with Sharia providing a rule for every conceivable aspect of their behavior.
And a case can be made for her claim that at her age, she is not required to wear the hijab. The Qur’an says: “And women of post-menstrual age who have no desire for marriage – there is no blame upon them for putting aside their outer garments, not displaying adornment. But to modestly refrain is better for them. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing.” (24:60)
However, the influential IslamQA.com site rules out the possibility that this means older women may uncover their hair (or bald heads, in Sinead’s case): “There is no dispute that the hair of an elderly woman is ‘awrah [nakedness] and it is not permissible for a non-mahram [non-relative] to look at it, as is the case with the hair of a young woman.”
Nonetheless, Sinead O’Connor thinks that hijab is her choice, and “there are no rules about it.” But what about Aqsa Parvez? Her Muslim father choked her to death with her hijab after she refused to wear it. Or for Aqsa and Amina Muse Ali, a Christian woman in Somalia whom Muslims murdered because she wasn’t wearing a hijab? They showed no concern for the 40 women who were murdered in Iraq in 2007 for not wearing the hijab; or for Alya Al-Safar, whose Muslim cousin threatened to kill her and harm her family because she stopped wearing the hijab in Britain; or for Amira Osman Hamid, who faced whipping in Sudan for refusing to wear the hijab; or for the Egyptian girl, also named Amira, who committed suicide after being brutalized by her family for refusing to wear the hijab; or for the Muslim and non-Muslim teachers at the Islamic College of South Australia who were told they had to wear the hijab or be fired; or for the women in Chechnya whom police shot with paintballs because they weren’t wearing hijab; or for the women in Chechnya who were threatened by men with automatic rifles for not wearing hijab; or for the elementary school teachers in Tunisia who were threatened with death for not wearing hijab; or for the Syrian schoolgirls who were forbidden to go to school unless they wore hijab; or for the women in Gaza whom Hamas has forced to wear hijab; or for the women in Iran who protested against the regime, even before the recent uprising, by daring to take off their hijabs; or for the women in London whom Muslim thugs threatened to murder if they didn’t wear hijab; or for the anonymous young Muslim woman who doffed her hijab outside her home and started living a double life in fear of her parents; or for the fifteen girls in Saudi Arabia who were killed when the religious police wouldn’t let them leave their burning school building because they had taken off their hijabs in their all-female environment; or for the girl in Italy whose mother shaved her head for not wearing hijab; or for all the other women and girls who have been killed or threatened, or who live in fear for daring not to wear the hijab.
Courageous women in the Islamic Republic of Iran are taking off their hijabs as a sign of resistance to the oppressive Sharia regime under which they live, and at least 29 women have been arrested for doing so. Who is standing in solidarity with them? Not Sinead O’Connor.
Also, what will she do when she finds out that music is haram?
“Sinead O’Connor: I had been a Muslim all my life and didn’t realise it … I am home,” by Farah Andrews, The National, September 8, 2019:
After a few years away from the limelight, Sinead O’Connor has returned to the public eye, giving a frank interview about her conversion to Islam and a raw performance of Nothing Compares 2 U on Irish TV show, The Late Late Show.
“The word ‘revert’ refers to the idea that if you were to study the Quran, you would realise you were a Muslim all your life, and you didn’t realise it,” the singer explained to host, Ryan Tubridy, “and that is what happened to me.”…
“I started studying scriptures from different religious, trying to find the ‘truth’ about God … I never thought I would join a religion, but I left Islam until last because I had so much prejudice about Islam.
“But then when I started reading, and I read just chapter two alone of the Quran, and I realised, ‘Oh my God, I am home’.
“I had been a Muslim all my life and didn’t realise it.”
Tubridy then asked her about her decision to wear the hijab, and she explained that she doesn’t wear it “all the time.”
“I wear it when I feel like it,” she adds.
“There are no rules about it. I would associate myself with the Sufi element of Islam, I am not at my age required to wear the hijab … I wear it because I like it.”
“To me, the hijab is the same as when I used to wear the crucifix, it is just identifying yourself as being Muslim, part of a family.”…

GreekEmpress, I did find this on YouTube. Maybe they don’t know what Taqiyya is, and so have not flagged it as “Islamophobic”.

This may be another example of the congruence between liberalism and Islam – dependency.
Islam, by requiring submission, creates dependency. Liberals create it by taxation-handouts.
mortimer says
Surely, you mean ‘incongruence’.
Jean (old) says

No, congruence is correct. Incongruence means that two things don’t go well together, but Westman’s point is that liberalism and islam are similar in the way they foster dependency.

Agreed, Jean.

She joined a pagan arab cult that teaches that a woman’s testimony is HALF that of a man k2:282 due to what muhammed said was “the deficiency of a woman’s mind”{sahih Bukhari #2658}
If you look at the Scientific Mistakes in the koran{You tube} ,it should be noted that allah seems to completely misunderstand human reproductive Biology koran 86:6-7,koran 75:37 etc
What sort of idiotic god gets the anatomy and physiology behind human reproductive Biology wrong?
allah
The same god that teaches that women are stupid and whose prophet said women have deficient minds.
The same god who insists muslim women wear the hijab…..which is worn in honor of a god who knows LESS BIOLOGY than any modern woman!
The same god who according to muhammed sends women to hell for being TAKFURNA..ungrateful
{Sahih muslim 241}
And of course muslims are warned not to listen to the “Song of a songstress”…so I trust no muslims were listening{alalh will pour molten lead into your ear see Reliance of the traveller,umdat al salik r40.1}
And seriously:Scarlet red?
allah will be waving his TWO RIGHT HANDS in anger at the disrespect to islam…..
mortimer says
Sinead should learn that … The Islamic veil tells us that the Muslimah submits to the idea of her personal inferiority and reduced worth as a half-human. It also tells us infidels are her social inferiors. The Islamic veil is a symbol both of gender inequality and of the division of humanity into two very unequal groups, of Islamic superiority, supremacism and religious apartheid. As well, the Islamic veil is the flag of unending jihad against the infidels until victory.
The Islamic veil is the ultimate symbol of misogyny as well as Islamic discrimination directed against the dirty kufaar.
The Islamic veil expresses the idea that Muslim do not observe the Golden Rule.
Sinead, didn’t you know?
PRCS says
“The Islamic veil is the ultimate symbol of misogyny as well as Islamic discrimination directed against the dirty kufaar.”
Its primary purpose is to identify, to distinguish “the believing woman” from the dirty kuffar” in order to not be ‘abused’.
Essentially, it tells Muslim men to abuse the kuffar women–not me; expressing the Muslim belief that Muslims are superior to ‘unbelievers’.
P.S. Don’t stamp your feet, girls.
mortimer says
You have done your homework, PRCS. Very good. You have mastered this topic. This knowledge should urgently be shared. Yes, we can do educate Western people about Islam if we put our minds to it.

Does the clueless Sinead O’Connor know any of this? Likely not…
mortimer says
Agree, she is clueless. There are MANY RULES in Sharia law and a HUGE NUMBER of fatwas about the obligation of the Islamic veil and EXACTLY how it must be worn by Muslim women.
No Muslim woman may make up her own fatwas.
CogitoErgoSum says
In this Late Late Show interview she says she was born into Christianity and she loves Christianity and the reason she likes Islam is that she gets to keep Christianity. What? She does not explain why she believes this but there is no way for her to be a Muslim and a Christian at the same time. According to the Quran the only way for her to remain a Christian living under the rules of Islam is for her to pay the Jizya …. and even then she is not supposed to go around pretending to be a Muslim. This is one very confused woman. Here is a clip of the interview:

FYI says
The koran CURSES Christians for believing in Jesus Christ k9:30
In christianity,a woman and a man are equal
In islam,a muslima is HALF the value of a man{Due to “The deficiency of a woman’s mind” according to muhammed,a man Linda Sarsour says was a feminist:With his 9 year old “wife”,beating aisha etc?}
Does it look like muhammad was a feminist?
In islam..the koran insists that..
The Testimony of a muslima=HALF that of a muslim man k2:282
A Son’s inheritance=TWICE that of a daughters k4:11
A man can have 4 wives k4:3 but a woman couldn’t have 4 husbands{because{sarc} that would be wrong:How convenient is islam for lusty men!}
I’m sorry, but only a complete fool of a woman would join such a misogynistic,chauvinistic Arab cult lie islam.
CogitoErgoSum says
As Robert notes in his commentary Quran 24:60 makes an exception for women of post-menstrual age and who have no desire for marriage so that they may set aside their outer garments if they can do so while not displaying adornment. However, I’m not sure what is meant by “adornment.” Would hair be considered adornment? Since the verse also says that being modest is the best course to take I guess the prudent thing for Sinead to do if she appears in public without her head covered is to make sure she at least keeps her head shaved.
mortimer says
Response to CES: Sharia law has every point covered in your questions.
Sinead’s OPINIONS on the veil are totally IRRELEVANT. Muslim women have NO CHOICE on when or when *not* to wear the veil.
The wearing of the veil is COMPLETELY CODIFIED in Sharia law, Sinead. Didn’t you know?
Sinead’s IGNORANCE of Sharia law is no excuse. She is trying to make up her own fantasy version of Islam.
Joe Z. Wells says
It’s called “Chrislam”. https://www.gotquestions.org/Chrislam.html
Yes, it’s a real thing and many very famous and prominent “Christians”, Politicians, Entertainers, Media types and Academics subscribe to this “religion”. End times one-word religion? I don’t know. Looks that way. Be very wary.
Trick_or_Treat says
“She is one very confused woman”
Very…. . Hear, hear!
Cece says
There is no way she can keep Christianity because Islam does not recognize Jesus as the son of God. The quran states that God cannot have a son. Muslims think Christians are polytheists because of the Holy Trinity. That’s why they keep holding up one finger…..one God, not like the Christians.
PRCS says
Qur’an 24:31
https://quran.com/24/31
And tell the believing women to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to—(a lengthy list which includes their slaves).
Like so many smiling reverts, she’s a fool.
David says
Strange how the Koran goes on to list a load of family and friends who can view her ‘adornments’ (tits)

Yup!
mortimer says
Hey Sinead ! Too bad that the FATHER and BROTHER of AQSA PARVEZ didn’t know that AQSA PARVEZ didn’t HAVE TO WEAR the VEIL !!!
They killed her because they thought she was REQUIRED by Islam to wear the veil ALL THE TIME!
They ‘misunderstood’ Islam, right Sinead? Right, Sinead?
Sinead, please answer me.
mortimer says
AQSA PARVEZ (rest in peace)
On December 7, 2007, Aqsa Parvez was found murdered in the basement bedroom of her Mississauga, Ontario home. Her refusal to her domineering father’s demands to wear the hijab was seen as the ultimate insult. Her father, Muhammad and her brother, Waqas, strangled her to death for her open defiance.
It was June 30, 2009 when the police diver who swam to the bottom of the canal in Kingston, Ontario found sisters Zainab Shafia in the front passenger seat of the car, Sahar, her younger sister in the rear, Geeti’s lifeless body floating over the driver’s seat and Rona (the girls’ supposed aunt) slouched in the middle back seat. All had been honour killed by their father, Mohammad, his wife Tooba Yahya, and their son, Hamed.
gravenimage says
Grimly true, Mortimer.
James Lincoln says
Now that she’s gone on record, I hope she doesn’t get the bright idea to travel to a sharia compliant country…
mortimer says
Good point, when Sinead enters Iran, wearing the veil will *not* be her opinion or personal option. Sharia law and fatwas require the veil.
Sinead’s ignorance of Sharia law is no excuse. She must be veiled when any man is around her who is not immediate family.
David says
James, a gig of Iran would go down well! No, actually it wouldn’t . Music is banned. Tough hits!
tim gallagher says
Recently, here at Jihad Watch, there was the report about the brave young woman in Iran who was thrown into gaol for an incredibly long sentence because she didn’t wear the oppressive hijab. Now you get Sinead O’Connor, who I think has a long history of severe mental illness, talking this rubbish. What I think is that, as other people up above have said, why should anyone listen to these entertainment types when they talk on subjects that they know absolutely nothing about. It is ridiculous for people to listen to people, just because they are celebrities, because they can sing well or act well or play a musical instrument well, when they talk on subjects that they know nothing about. If I want to learn about Islam, I’ll listen to people who have bothered to study it and learned something about its nature. And then in Sinead O’Connor’s case, you have to add to her musings the fact that she has been severely mentally ill. I’m sure many singers I like are left wingers, (like so many in the entertainment industry) but I still like their music, but I wouldn’t take any notice of their boring old, predictably left wing views on other subjects.

Jean (old) says
Reziac
You diagnose wrongly. Her mother beat her brutally, and that is exactly how recruits to islam are made. These people seek out what they know best from an early age…brutality. Most muslims (and notably jihadis) are made in the same way: as children they were constantly beaten until they peed themselves, scalded with boiling water, burnt with cigarettes… It’s basically the only way to make people see sharia as something right.
So the truth is: Had she not been spanked, this woman would not have been in that hijab now.
When interviewed by Dr. Phil shortly before her conversion, Sinead said: “What I like about my mother? That she’s dead.”
Her soul has been broken years ago, this is just the latest expression of it.
Never hit a child.

Agree with Jean. Suffering years of child abuse does *not* ‘spank sense’ into the victims.

THERE ARE RULES ABOUT VEILING IN SHARIA LAW:
COMPULSORY VEILING OUTSIDE THE HOME:
A majority of scholars (n: with the exception of some Hanafis, as at m2.8 below) have been recorded as holding that it is unlawful for women to leave the house with faces unveiled, whether or not there is likelihood of temptation. When there is likelihood of temptation, scholars unanimously concur that it is unlawful, temptation meaning anything that leads to sexual intercourse or its usual preliminaries. As for when there is real need (dis: m2.11), looking is not unlawful, provided temptation is unlikely). Reliance of the Traveller M2.3

There will always be NUTS and people who are far left or right, why the media always finds these people to do stories on is interesting. Who gives a shit what this women thinks or what clothing item she adorns. She is NOT important and even islam says she is only worth half a man. Go figure!

Does anyone remember her 1992 appearance on SNL? She vigorously criticized ‘a philosophy that holds one race superior to another’, protested against the propagation of war, called for there no longer being first class or second class citizens, protested against unequal rights, and against child abuse. So now in 2019 she decides to join a group that advocates all of the above. My how times have changed.

No, no, no, sweetie, you got it all wrong. Men are allowed to marry up to four wives – not the same thing as marrying (and divorcing) four times…

She didn’t realize that,according to muhammed, she has a “Deficiency of the Mind”{Sahih Bukhari #2658} which is why alLAH insists in the koran that a woman’s testimony in islam is HALF that of a man{k2:282}?
Is it because of the “deficiency of mind” muhammed said women have{..which I completely disagree with!..}that was the reason she “didn’t realize it” and ,by idiotically converting to this misogynistic pagan Arab cult .she has foolishly confirmed muhammed’s chauvinistic stereotype about muslim women being stupid{..which i completely disagree with!…}?

Then go to a Muslim country and refuse to wear it.
MikeyParks says
I would guess brain tumor. Either that or pre-natal brain damage.
lebel says
“Also, what will she do when she finds out that music is haram?
Do like most Muslims and selectively ignore parts of the religion as is obvious to anyone who as ever travelled to a Muslim country, or watched an Arabic television channel or actually met a live Muslim. Of course Imam Spencer refuses to allow them to behave in this way, they must behave iin the way islam.qa says they should behave.
gravenimage says
It is, of course, not Robert Spencer who is threatening Muslims who listen to or create music. That would be their pious coreligionists:
“Afghanistan: Taliban lash two women for attending music party”

There are many more such stories. The Islamic ban on music is perfectly orthodox.
That some Muslims are lax does *not* change this. To pretend that Robert Spencer is responsible for this for pointing it out is grotesque.
Angemon says
“Do like most Muslims and selectively ignore parts of the religion as is obvious to anyone who as ever travelled to a Muslim country, or watched an Arabic television channel or actually met a live Muslim.”
I’ve met muslims who won’t listen to music. Not even nasheed. It’s haram, you know…
Angemon says
Fun fact:
lebel, 2015:
“Can we now agree that if taqqiya really existed, Muslims would do just that in order to fool the naive infidels?”
lebel, 2019:
“By the way, if Taqqiya is real why DONT Muslim say they are against terrorism and Islamic jihad? why not just lie as they are ORDERED to do by Islam?”
Also lebel, 2019:
“This is the simplest answer and of course the likeliest one. Muslims like everyone else have their contradictions. They do not behave in behaviour one can predict by reading Hadith and Sira etc it just does not work that way.“
Also lebel, 2019:
“Do like most Muslims and selectively ignore parts of the religion as is obvious to anyone who as ever travelled to a Muslim country, or watched an Arabic television channel or actually met a live Muslim.”

Thank-you Graven Image for sharing Sinead’s well known youtube. She was beautiful and probably a sensitive soul like most creative musicians are. The music machine commercial world turns a lot of those off and away – so as not to self destruct. I loved Cat Stevens long ago and he joined Islam and became silent (until he made a new album of the good old songs). I am one of those great singers who chose a quieter, simpler life than the career would have offered. Sinead was just looking for belonging after the tailspin worldly world…….maybe.

But Islam was just waiting for her.
