that’s what i’m saying.. what’s with the erasure

I’ve seen a handful of people on here remarking that she became Muslim but like…framing it as a bad thing…

And like. The thing that defines her entire public life is that she unapologetically and uncompromisingly lived her truth. If you respect her tearing up a picture of the Pope but don’t respect her being Muslim, then you don’t really respect the person she was. You respect the person you wanted her to be.

She was one of us.

Instagram story by aljazeeraenglish, tagged #music: Sinead O'Connor’s Muslim identity is missing in obituaries, some fans say.

[Photo of Shuhada’ Sadaqat, nee Sinead O'Connor, holding a microphone stand steady and waving at her audience with a smile. She’s wearing long sleeves and a hijab.]

As musicians, politicians and fans remember Sinead O'Connor, some muslims are disappointed that the Irish singer and lifelong activist’s religious identity is not being highlighted in tributes.

[End description]

As someone who helps log obituaries into a database, this erasure of her religion is insidious.

Obituaries are meant to honor, but they can also provide historical information of what people were like. So not only are they disrespecting her identity and beliefs as a Muslim woman, but they are also trying to erase the history of a Muslim woman to future generations.

OH this makes my blood boil, she should have her idenity as a Muslim woman in her obituaries!

what was much worse (in my opinion) was not that it was left out, but that the only time it was mentioned was when people labeled her conversion as “one of her many controversies”, or because she “had a few screws loose”

as if she wasn’t a grown adult who chose islam as her religion years before she died, performed concerts in hijab, spoke openly and proudly about being part of the ummah, and could have only possibly converted to this religion because she “struggled with her mental health”? now that is insidious

to completely ignore it is terrible, and to add to that offense by mocking or trivializing her conversion and all the ugly commentary about mental health is just nasty

Does anyone else find getting their blood drawn weirdly fascinating? Like “oh, that’s supposed to be in my body.” I cannot take my eyes off the dark liquid in that little vial. Vampire behavior.

Hey!

I need your help!

According to my mom, privacy is not a human right, and because I live under her roof I do not deserve it! I want to prove a point to her. This is how you can help:

Reblog if you think I deserve privacy because it is my human right. Ignore if you agree with my mom. Please, I want this to get big so I can show her how many people disagree.
