<p>What happens when your conscience and your religion are at war from the time you’re born? In this episode, author of <em><strong>Unveiled: How the West Empowers Radical Muslims</strong></em>, Yasmine Mohammed shares her harrowing story of growing up under the weight of religious indoctrination. </p><p><br></p><p>From being told by her mother to promise she would kill non-believers, to being fed what she calls a <strong>“diet of Jew hatred,” </strong>Yasmine opens up about the everyday brainwashing that shaped her childhood and early womanhood. She describes how <strong>Islam demands the abandonment of humanity</strong>, and how the internal conflict between conscience and religious doctrine ultimately set her on a path of questioning and, eventually leaving Islam. </p><p><br></p><p>We also discuss <strong>the rise of antisemitism</strong> and defenses of Islam since October 7, the Western liberal insistence that Islam is a “religion of peace,” and the troubling ways third-wave feminism romanticizes submission and abuse. Yasmine offers a candid critique of hijab, and recruitment of young women into Islam in North America and Europe. </p><p><br></p><p>Yasmine shares her journey from being told the light she loved was “the devil” to now choosing her own guiding light. Yasmine speaks with raw honesty about her relationship with her mother, the accusations of Islamophobia she faces, and her <strong>ongoing resistance to brainwashing in all its forms.</strong></p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://whosebodyisit.substack.com/?utm_campaign=profile_chips">⁠<strong>⁠p.s.
