![Sinead O'Connor (pictured)Â has sparked outrage on Twitter by claiming she no longer wants to spend time with 'disgusting white people' after converting to Islam](https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2018/11/06/13/5834010-6358599-image-a-64_1541511181405.jpg)
‘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.’

The majority of those replying to Sinead’s tweet – many of them Muslims themselves – called her out on the post.

Sinead was ordained as a priest by the Irish Orthodox Catholic and Apostolic Church in the late 1990s, and practised Christianity for years. Famously, in 1992, she ripped up a picture of Pope John Paul II and said ‘fight the real enemy’ during a performance on Saturday Night Live, in protest of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church.
The star addressed this moment on Twitter, sharing a link and writing: ‘The last line of this performance on SNL was my first Shahada and the real moment I became a Muslim.’
