“Unveiled” is a powerful memoir by Yasmine Mohammed that reveals the harsh realities at the core of the Islamic religion. Yasmine is one of my heroes, not only for the immense bravery it took to escape the violence, oppression, and threats against her life but also for the ongoing courage she displays. From complete dependence on her abusive family and husband (who she later discovered was an Al-Qaeda operative), she rose to become a university professor and a global advocate for the liberation of Islamic women. Her outspoken activism makes her a target for fundamentalists who seek to control these women, and if caught, she would face severe consequences.
This is her story of growing up in a household dominated by the oppressive beliefs of religion, which sought to suppress her but ultimately failed. Yasmine’s experience will inspire you with courage and shed light on the horrors of blind faith and the suffering caused by religious dogma.
This is the book recommendation from my weekly newsletter on May 29, 2024.
