Do you remember Irish musician Sinead O’Connor? She is most famous for her songs "Nothing Compares 2 U" and "All Apologies." However, she really hit the headlines when she said all white people, or anyone who is not muslim, are "disgusting."
The Grammy-winner converted to Islam in 2018, and then in November she 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.”

First of all...there are white people who are muslim, as well as people of every race who are not muslim. Her argument then was weak. However, now she is apologizing for her distasteful comments.
After appearing on Ireland's Late Late Show, she tweeted out an apology. It read, "As regards to remarks I made while angry and unwell, about white people... they were not true at the time and they are not true now. I was triggered as a result of islamophobia dumped on me."
O'Connor added, "I apologize for hurt caused. That was one of many crazy tweets lord knows" Funny to me that she references the Lord but worships Allah...Anyone else catch that?

While speaking on the Late Late Show, she added that her first tweet was a result of “so much prejudice about Islam,” then upon reading Quran, she “realized I’m home, and that I’ve been a Muslim all my life. There’s a way of thinking.”
In 2017, O’Connor shared a video to Facebook in which she claimed to be suicidal, suffering from mental illness and living in a motel room in the “arse end of New Jersey”
“I’m all by myself and there’s absolutely nobody in my life except my doctor, my psychiatrist, the sweetest man on earth, who says I’m his hero, and that’s about the only thing keeping me alive at the moment and that’s kind of pathetic,” O’Connor said at the time.
