Less than two weeks after singer Sinéad O’Connor announced that she’d become a Muslim (“This is the natural conclusion of any intelligent theologian’s journey. All scripture study leads to Islam”), she’s making clear what her new tribal identity means to her.

Yesterday, O’Connor, who goes by Shuhada’ Davitt since her conversion, tweeted:

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). Not for one moment, for any reason. They are disgusting.

She’s right that the sentiment is shockingly (and indefensibly) racist, but she made it anyway, never mind that “I’m terribly sorry” non-pology.

Maybe Allah told the born-and-bred Irishwoman that, magically, she’s no longer Caucasian; and that, as many of her religious brethren do, she should keep her distance from the dirty kuffar. (I don’t know, but with religion, all things are possible!)

Thanks to her apparent resolve to stay away from white people/non-Muslims, the 51-year-old blows up a lifetime of social and professional relationships. I hope it’s somehow worth it.
