In Unveiled: How Western Liberals Empower Radical Islam, Canadian human rights activist Yasmine Mohammed speaks her truth as a woman born in the Western world yet raised in a fundamentalist Islamic home. Part Ayaan Hirsi Ali's Infidel, part The Handmaid's Tale, Yasmine's memoir takes readers into a world few Westerners are privy to.

Since September 11th, 2001, the Western world has been focused on Islam and its connection to terrorism, leading to polarized debates. Some view it as "the religion of peace," while others label all Muslims as terrorists. Yasmine Mohammed, a Canadian human rights activist, argues that both perspectives are dangerously misguided. In her memoir, she shares her experience as a woman born in the West but raised in a fundamentalist Islamic home, feeling out of place in both cultures. Having attended Islamic schools and worn the hijab since age nine, she offers a unique perspective, being distanced enough to observe both worlds objectively yet intimately enough to understand them deeply. Her narrative, reminiscent of Ayaan Hirsi Ali's Infidel and The Handmaid's Tale, reveals a world rarely seen by Westerners. As a college educator for over fifteen years, Yasmine aims to unveil the truth surrounding complex issues like FGM, the hijab, and the nature of ISIS. She highlights the conflicting narratives within the Islamic world, emphasizing the challenge of obtaining clear answers. Without dictating beliefs, her memoir navigates media narratives, political correctness, and misinformation, encouraging readers to form their own conclusions.
