I totally lost it when she said, "My favorite costume was the naughty nun, God forgive me". She was equally profound and hilarious. Thank you Sinead ❤

[@jacobking3211]

Jesus said, "I tell you the truth no one will see the kingdom of God unless he is born again. I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me." For God so loved the world that He give His only Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish but will have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world but to save the World through Him. For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God. For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord, and All who call upon the name of the Lord will be saved. " If you want to be sure of Heaven and avoid the other place below say the following prayer sincerely from your heart." Lord Jesus I repent and am sorry for my sins forgive me. I forgive all who have offended me. Come into my heart and save me. I accept you as my Lord and Saviour. Fill me with your Holy Spirit and baptise me with your Holy Spirit. Fulfill your plan and purpose in my life. "I recommend you read John's Gospel especially chapter 3.Gbu.John 3v3v22,John 14v6.

[@patricialavallee8286]

Always loved this woman! She suffered horribly in childhood, told the unequivocal TRUTH, and paid with pretty much the loss of her career. Dissed, made fun of by the music industry and her peers in it, yet never waivered from being honest and truthful per her stance on things. She's funny, intelligent, beautiful woman. Where were celebrities like Pink and Tori Amos and others when she was alive? Offering support to her, for her? Nowhere to be found. Now doing tributes to her in concert. I give major props to Morrissey who called all of this out in a recent Twitter post. May she finally find PEACE. And be resting in eternal peace. ☘️🌹💐☘️

[@lysanderofsparta3708]

What unequivocal TRUTH did she tell?

[@easterneye2773]

She had such a troubled life throughout her years but when she reverted Islam she said in many interviews Islam gave her peace and content in her life, she understood life was full of tests, trials & tribulations but she also understood her purpose in life and that one day she will return to her creator Allah.

[@mlinwood552]

Such an amazing person. I wish she knew how much she meant to so many people. I got to see her sing a cappella at my college, before she was very famous. Her voice gave me chills and she was so nice. She smoked a cigarette even, made a joke about singing after smoking, and then belted it out, like nothing I ever heard. Such talent.

[@gabrielswayze4506]

In what year was that?

[@63Lsp]

Really lovely interview. I appreciate the questions that brought out Sinead's humor, and actually her humanity. Sinead was portrayed in the US first as the absolute talent and then star she was. Then instantly as "the face of hate" never to be heard from again. And how much of that was about the pope and her (absolutely correct) protest against child abuse...or did we cancel her US career because she dared use the all-powerful NBC platform as a *woman*? Any way I loved her through it all but didn't get any news or career updates on her - it was all suppressed here and no Internet of course. Thanks for a great interview/now tribute to an amazing human💜

[@reubination]

Upon her explaining hearing various sound patterns and translating that to music, that sounds very much like autism. As well autistics have a very strong moral code. She is awkward in her social interactions, and seemingly on another plane of existence. Of course she is highly intelligent and a brilliant artist. Just my thoughts.

I would love to hear her opinion about the Armenia genocide.

[@ayurveg]

It should be of one opinion with the natives... normally... ?

[@AA-nb2ky]

It wasn't genocide, it was forced migration rather like ethnical cleansing not in the sense of killing and wiping out the armenian population from ottoman empire but removing the population to the newly establised nation state called Armenia from newly etablished nation state called Turkey, , the same happened to jews of Germany, they were forced migration to newly establised nation state called Israhel, also the reverse way many eastern Germans were forced moving into Germany from Russia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_and_expulsion_of_Germans_(1944%E2%80%931950). This is called "population exchange" all ethnicities were forced becouse people didn't want to leave. This force was based on natianlity and religion, and was the day of fashion as the world was moving into new world order under united nations governance.. Not many people look into history from this perspective thus make huge error and feed foolish hatred towards one another out of ignorance. Even Turks were forced into migration and ethnic cleansing from 1700 and onwards.. www.tc-america.org/files/grants/Forced_Displacement.pdf . Even Stalin of Russia applied the same brutal forced migration hence ethnic cleansing. Infact just recently the same happened to the bosnian muslims when they tore apart ex yugoslavia.. Ok so who is behind all of this socio/political god damn inhuman policies.. well of course financial exploiters oppressors of the judo/christians that were not God fearing, disbeliving, unfaithful world governors of the western world. Therefore please stop hatred against Turks and muslims at large, they are the nicest,heart warming, hospitable people living in the world and to this day they are still immensly suffering since the world wars under proxy subjugation and proxy regimes, and the fact that suppression still contiunes through false media hatred aginst them under islamophobia.. So Please get your mind working to see the real picture with revisionist history in education .. Peace.. @officialsinead

I know she had an abusive mother, who had a picture of the pope in her bedroom. When she tore that picture of the pope, that was the exact picture that belonged to her mom. She ripped it to get back at her mom. If she only could have trusted Jesus and not let the hate of her abuse led her astray. Only Jesus is the way to God.
