Summary
Ayaan Hirsi Ali's Infidel meets The Handmaid's Tale.
Since September 11, 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 yet raised in a fundamentalist Islamic home. 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 listeners into a world few Westerners are privy to. As a college educator for over 15 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 listeners to come to their own conclusions.

Enlightening
A must read or listen to book to understand what being a Muslim can mean for a woman.
That abuse that is an offense in our western world should remain an offense. Someone's religion is not an excuse or explanation why it should go unpunished.
The final message that feminists around the world should stand shoulder to shoulder with suppressed women everywhere and not be side tracked by ' different culture/ race absolvers' to not take up the fight.
Never a truer word is spoken.

Just, Wow.
I cried, I angered. I flew from despair to hope. After all, if people like Yasmin can go through so much and still come out with the feeling all is not lost then Western democracies can be saved by themselves, from those that would destroy them and for those to whom we represent hope and sometimes TRUE asylum. This book should be on the curriculum in the Western educational system. Ben Affleck should also read it and make it into a film, I have suggested as much to him on Twitter - perhaps do the same? (Ha, but not Ha) The only thing I would say is that I personally do not like the word feminist (I feel the word has been adopted by those that dislike men simply for being men- the opposite of equality) Suffragette, however, is extremely apt. But, we mustn’t forget that all efforts past, present and future also rely on the broad minds and courage of men too. Saving Western democracies from radical Islam and supporting people in countries that wish to rid themselves of it’s scourge is no mean feat, but this book leaves one feeling a perverse sense of optimism because the alternative is laid to bare.

Uncomfortable truths
When we reach outside of our bubble of comfort and confront issues that have global relevance, it increases gratitude. A courageous woman who has inspired me.

A harrowing memoir that rings true for many
This gutrenching and ultimately inspiring account of Yasmine's life is a must read. Though some have criticised that she did not spend much time picking apart and analysing the hypocrisy of the blanket refusal of the political left to hold the Muslim world to an equal account as the west, I don't think further analysis beyond the points she did articulate--blindly looking past the pain and suffering of abused women and children--was necessary as her story speaks for itself in this regard. Thank you Yasmine, for lifting the lid on how religion and culture can conspire to keep women and children in a virtual prison, all while those who claim to be the champions of marginalised groups turn a blind and ignorant eye.

Amazingly Brave
I cried while reading this book for the first time and I still struggled while listening to it hear here as well because I have been through similar experiences as Yasmine. I am so sorry she had to live through all of this, it's very hard. I can't believe how brave she is to speak up on those issues knowing she will definitely offend people and make them uncomfortable. I loved every bit of her story and I know for a fact that there is a lot of things she didn't mention. I wish her the best in everything she does and I am so proud of her and her bravery.
