Obviously Nothing Compares To It

[tonyav]

LOL ^^^^^^

[kvalidir]

I read this earlier. I hope it gives the poor lady peace, she seems very troubled and very alone and unhappy. x

[tonyav]

She seems to have been troubled for many years now.

[Peter Pedant]

I am sure that His Holiness would wish her well in her new venture

[ remember Princess Di ('she was a saint' etc) applied to Cardinal Hume to convert to the True Religion. His eminence acknowledged that the Roman Church was a church of sinners but .... they weren't quite ready for her]

[Peter Pedant]

I am a lone Cartlic and one of my nieces is preparing to convert and is taking instruction. Both the proddies and cartlics in the family have chorussed - o god the converts are the worst!

[vetuste_ennemi]

Interesting name she's chosen. The witness/martyr concepts are interwoven both in the Arabic and the Greek.

Little point of detail between the meaning assigned by the two faiths, however:

THe Christian martyr dies[i for her faith.

The Muslim martyr [i]kills] for hers.

[vetuste_ennemi]

Let's hope Sinead (as was) sticks to her day job and doesn't branch out.

[Peter Pedant]

why does she want to be many witnesses ?
surely one is enough

so Shehada should do - and may I say - another Muslim who doesnt or hasnt read the Koran - - for full zippo you need to chant it in Arabic
[ understanding what you are chanting is another matter...]

[sanmac]

Perhaps a couple of sessions of exorcism might come in handy.

[LadyCG]

In terms of achieving inner peace she'd probably yield the same result from a cheese and pickle sandwich.

Obviously that would gain less attention in the media...

[Old_Geezer]

Some seem to need any cause or belief to keep them going. Swapping from one to another to feel 'right' about everything. Unsure the media needs to publicise it though.

[david small]

I fear that she is a tragedy happening.

[waterboatman]

One's a bad as t'other.

[douglas9401]

I'm sure this will answer all the questions and problems in her life.

Submitting to the strict fascist diktats of any organisation relieves one of having to make choices giving the impression, to the impressionable, that all is well because others are running you.

[murraymints]

a very troubled souls, I too predict an unhappy ending

[Rockrose]

Her choice and if it brings her comfort its of no one elses business.
I don't feel that there is a need to mock her!

[naomi24]

She sounds terribly confused. I wonder if the papers will report it if and when, after a little while, she changes her mind, as a very high percentage of converts do?

[1ozzy]

Converting to Islam suited Cat Stevens.
Can't see it caused him any issues.

[murraymints]

at least it stopped his awful caterwauling !! ;0)
