Unveiled: How Western Liberals Empower Radical Islam

By Yasmine Mohammed

Book Overview

Ayaan Hirsi Ali's Infidel meets The Handmaid's Tale

Since September 11th, 2001, the Western world has been preoccupied with Islam and its role in terrorism. Yet public debate about the faith is polarized-one camp praises "the religion of peace" while the other claims all Muslims are terrorists. Canadian human rights activist Yasmine Mohammed believes both sides are dangerously wrong.

In Unveiled: How Western Liberals Empower Radical Islam, Yasmine speaks her truth as a woman born in the Western world who was forcefully married to a high-ranking member of Al Qaeda. Despite being a first-generation Canadian, she never felt at home in the West. And even though she attended Islamic schools and wore the hijab since age nine, Yasmine never fit in with her Muslim family either. With one foot in each world, Yasmine is far enough removed from both to see them objectively, yet close enough to see them honestly.

Part Ayaan Hirsi Ali's Infidel, part The Handmaid's Tale, Yasmine's memoir takes readers into a world few Westerners are privy to. As a college educator for over fifteen years, Yasmine's goal is to unveil the truth. Is FGM Islamic or cultural? Is the hijab forced or a choice? Is ISIS a representation of "true" Islam or a radical corruption? And why is there so much conflicting information? Like most insular communities, the Islamic world has both an "outside voice" and an "inside voice." It's all but impossible for bystanders to get a straight answer.

Without telling anyone what to believe, Unveiled navigates the rhetoric and guides truth-seekers through media narratives, political correctness, and outright lies while encouraging readers to come to their own conclusions.

Exceptional story of bravery and determination against violence

Yasmine is a hero fighting for freedom in the west in a way that many people, especially on the left, completely dismiss. Yasmine grew up in Canada facing abuse by her family, often times abuse which they justified through Islamic scripture. She even filed a court case which judges in Canada dismissed, so she was sent back to her abusive environment because "it's the Arab culture." She was forcefully married off to a terrorist who wanted to perform FGM on her daughter. Yasmine managed to escape, and through pure grit she became successful - and free - in the west. She runs Free Hearts Free Minds to help rescue others trapped in similar situations. She is a hero of the free world, and dreams of freedom for all women who are trapped in abuse.

Amazing

Yasmine is an amazing person and author. This is a must-read for anyone in general, but particularly for ex-Muslims, atheists, agnostics, and muslim reformers.
