Historia
Since he was a small boy, Mosab Hassan Yousef has had an inside view of the deadly terrorist group Hamas. The oldest son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, a founding member of Hamas and its most popular leader, young Mosab assisted his father for years in his political activities while being groomed to assume his legacy, politics, status...and power. But everything changed when Mosab turned away from terror and violence and embraced instead the teachings of another famous Middle East leader.

Historia
In this short book, Sam Harris and Maajid Nawaz invite you to join an urgently needed conversation: Is Islam a religion of peace or war? Is it amenable to reform? Why do so many Muslims seem drawn to extremism? What do words like Islamism, jihadism, and fundamentalism mean in today's world? Remarkable for the breadth and depth of its analysis, this dialogue between a famous atheist and a former radical is all the more startling for its decorum. Harris and Nawaz have produced something genuinely new: they engage one of the most polarizing issues of our time - fearlessly and fully - and actually make progress.

Historia
In Prey, Ayaan Hirsi Ali presents startling statistics, criminal cases and personal testimony. Among these facts: In 2014, sexual violence in Western Europe surged following a period of stability. This violence isn’t a figment of alt-right propaganda, Hirsi Ali insists, even if neo-Nazis exaggerate it. It’s a real problem that Europe—and the world—cannot continue to ignore. She explains why so many young Muslim men who arrive in Europe engage in sexual harassment and violence, tracing the roots of sexual violence in the Muslim world.

Taking us from Afghanistan in the final days of its monarchy to the present, The Kite Runner is the unforgettable story of the friendship between two boys growing up in Kabul. Their intertwined lives, and their fates, reflect the eventual tragedy of the world around them.

In early 2019, after three years of careful planning, Rahaf Mohammed finally escaped her abusive family in Saudi Arabia—but made it only to Bangkok before being stripped of her passport. If forced to return home, she was sure she would be killed, like other rebel women in her country. As men pounded at the door of her barricaded hotel room, she opened a Twitter account. The teenager reached out to the world, and the world answered—she gained 45,000 followers in one day, and those followers helped her seek asylum in the West. Now Rahaf Mohammed tells her remarkable story in her own words.

Her great-grandmother donated land for one of The Family’s first communes in Texas. Her mother, at thirteen, was forced to marry the leader and served as his secretary for many years. Beholden to The Family’s strict rules, Daniella suffers physical, emotional, and sexual abuse—masked as godly discipline and divine love—and is forbidden from getting a traditional education.

A photo on Masih's Facebook page: a woman standing proudly, face bare, hair blowing in the wind. Her crime: removing her veil, or hijab, which is compulsory for women in Iran. This is the self-portrait that sparked "My Stealthy Freedom", a social media campaign that went viral. But Masih is so much more than the arresting face that sparked a campaign inspiring women to find their voices. She's also a world-class journalist whose personal story, told in her unforgettably bold and spirited voice, is emotional and inspiring.

Americans have built an empire on the idea of “race”, a falsehood that damages us all but falls most heavily on the bodies of Black women and men - bodies exploited through slavery and segregation and, today, threatened, locked up, and murdered out of all proportion. What is it like to inhabit a Black body and find a way to live within it? And how can we all honestly reckon with this fraught history and free ourselves from its burden? Between the World and Me is Ta-Nehisi Coates’ attempt to answer these questions in a letter to his adolescent son.

As a twenty-three-year-old singer and the soon-to-be wife of youth pastor Joshua Harris, nothing in Shannon Harris's secular upbringing prepared her to enter the world of conservative Christianity. Soon Joshua's bestselling book I Kissed Dating Goodbye helped inspire a national purity movement, and Shannon's identity became "pastor's wife." The Woman They Wanted recounts Shannon's remarkable experience inside Big Church—where she was asked to live within a narrow definition of womanhood for almost two decades—and her journey out of that world and into a more authentic version of herself.

At a time when Israel is under persistent attack - on the battlefield, by international organizations, and in the court of public opinion - Alan Dershowitz presents a powerful case for Israel’s just war against terrorism. In the spirit of his international best-seller, The Case for Israel, Dershowitz shows why Israel's struggle against Hamas is a fight not only to protect its own citizens, but for all democracies. The nation-state of the Jewish people is providing a model for all who are threatened by terrorist groups.

Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Her family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education, and no one to intervene when one of Tara’s older brothers became violent. When another brother got himself into college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University.

Resumen del Editor
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.

Only two years old when her parents fled Iran, she didn't learn of her undocumented status until her older sister wanted to apply for an after-school job but couldn't because she didn't have a Social Security number. Fear of deportation kept Sara up at night, but it didn't keep her from being a teenager.

Let's face it: Most of us have always had a difficult time talking about death and sharing our grief. We're awkward and uncertain; we avoid, ignore, or even deny feelings of sadness; we offer platitudes; we send sympathy bouquets whittled out of fruit.

In her deeply engaging, astonishingly candid memoir, author and activist Letty Cottin Pogrebin exposes the fiercely-guarded lies and intricate cover-ups woven by dozens of members of her extended family.

Shyima Hall was born in Egypt on September 29, 1989, the seventh child of desperately poor parents. When she was eight, her parents sold her into slavery. Shyima then moved two hours away to Egypt's capitol city of Cairo to live with a wealthy family and serve them eighteen hours a day, seven days a week. When she was ten, her captors moved to Orange County, California, and smuggled Shyima with them. Two years later, an anonymous call from a neighbor brought about the end of Shyima's servitude - but her journey to true freedom was far from over.

Shyima Hall was born in Egypt on September 29, 1989, the seventh child of desperately poor parents. When she was eight, her parents sold her into slavery. Shyima then moved two hours away to Egypt's capitol city of Cairo to live with a wealthy family and serve them eighteen hours a day, seven days a week. When she was ten, her captors moved to Orange County, California, and smuggled Shyima with them. Two years later, an anonymous call from a neighbor brought about the end of Shyima's servitude - but her journey to true freedom was far from over.

One of the main topics of cultural conversation during the last decade was the supposed "fertility crisis" and whether modern women could figure out a way to have it all - a successful, demanding career and the required 2.3 children - before their biological clocks stopped ticking. Now, however, conversation has turned to whether it's necessary to have it all (see Anne-Marie Slaughter) or, perhaps more controversial, whether children are really a requirement for a fulfilling life.

We’ve seen the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in the news, the underage brides in pioneer dresses on a Texas ranch. But the FLDS is just one of many groups that have broken with mainstream Mormonism to follow those parts of Joseph Smith’s doctrine disavowed by the LDS Church. Gaining unprecedented access to these communities, journalist Sanjiv Bhattacharya reveals a shadow country....

Hannah Shah is an Imam's daughter. She lived the life of a devout Muslim in a family of Pakistani Muslims in England, but behind the front door, she was a caged butterfly. For many years, her father abused her in the cellar of their home. At 16, she discovered a plan to send her to Pakistan for an arranged marriage, and she gathered the courage to run away. Relentlessly hunted by her angry father and brothers, who were intent on executing an "honor" killing, she moved from house to house in perpetual fear to escape them.

The Mohawk phrase for depression can be roughly translated as a mind spread out on the ground. In this urgent, visceral work, Alicia Elliott explores how apt a description that is for the ongoing effects of the personal, intergenerational, and colonial traumas experienced by her so many Native people. Elliott's deeply personal writing details a life spent between Indigenous and White communities - a divide reflected in her own family - and engages with such wide-ranging topics as race, parenthood, love, art, mental illness, poverty, sexual assault, gentrification, and representation.

She remembers her tin-roofed house tucked away in a vast forest paradise; the sparkling creeks, with their frogs and crawdads; the sweet blackberries growing along the road to her granny’s; and her abusive father. An elegiac account of survival despite being born poor, female, and cloistered, Bobi’s testament is one of hope for all vulnerable populations, particularly women and girls caught in the cycle of poverty and abuse.

In this short book, Sam Harris and Maajid Nawaz invite you to join an urgently needed conversation: Is Islam a religion of peace or war? Is it amenable to reform? Why do so many Muslims seem drawn to extremism? What do words like Islamism, jihadism, and fundamentalism mean in today's world? Remarkable for the breadth and depth of its analysis, this dialogue between a famous atheist and a former radical is all the more startling for its decorum. Harris and Nawaz have produced something genuinely new: they engage one of the most polarizing issues of our time - fearlessly and fully - and actually make progress.

In the spirit of his international best-seller, The Case for Israel, Dershowitz shows why Israel's struggle against Hamas is a fight not only to protect its own citizens, but for all democracies.

If forced to return home, she was sure she would be killed, like other rebel women in her country. As men pounded at the door of her barricaded hotel room, she opened a Twitter account. The teenager reached out to the world, and the world answered—she gained 45,000 followers in one day, and those followers helped her seek asylum in the West. Now Rahaf Mohammed tells her remarkable story in her own words.

The Palestinian Delusion is unique in situating the Israeli/Palestinian conflict within the context of the global jihad that has found renewed impetus in the latter portion of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st. Briskly recounting the tumultuous history of the "peace process", Robert Spencer demonstrates that the determination of diplomats, policymakers, and negotiators to ignore this aspect of the conflict has led the Israelis, the Palestinians, and the world down numerous blind alleys. This has often only exacerbated, rather than healed, this conflict.

Hidden behind her black veil, she is a prisoner, jailed by her father, her husband, and her country. Sultana tells of appalling oppressions, everyday occurrences that in any other culture would be seen as shocking human rights violations: 13-year-old girls forced to marry men five times their age; young women killed by drowning, stoning, or isolation in the "women's room". Princess is a testimony to a woman of indomitable spirit and courage.

The Ottoman Empire has long been depicted as the Islamic Asian antithesis of the Christian European West. But the reality was starkly different: the Ottomans’ multiethnic, multilingual, and multireligious domain reached deep into Europe’s heart. Indeed, the Ottoman rulers saw themselves as the new Romans. Recounting the Ottomans’ remarkable rise from a frontier principality to a world empire, historian Marc David Baer traces their debts to their Turkish, Mongolian, Islamic, and Byzantine heritage.

I've been a follower of Yasmine on Twitter for a while now. I've seen many an interview she's given and loved the well-spoken, succinct way in which she speaks on the subject of not only hijab, but of true feminism in general, across the religious and ideological spectrum. In following her and learning of her story, I was amazed at how similar our life experiences are to a degree; she, an ex-Muslim, and I, as an admittedly lax (and stubborn) Jewish woman with a feminist bent, with a customarily "traditional" ethnic Jewish family. What can be said about this book, except, MIND BLOWN.
I'd planned on getting a hard copy of this book, but given that I love Yasmine's ability to thoroughly convey her message with her voice, I opted for the audio book. I'm so glad I did, The passion with which she read her own words made me as the listener run through the gamut of emotions; from anger to outrage; disappointment and sadness; (which led to the inevitable tears); to points of wry laughter and saying, "I know, right?! and, "Tell me about it."
What I loved about this book is that it was as if Yasmine was right there with you, taking you into her confidence and treating you as her trusted friend, as she poured out her heart and soul. She doesn't talk *at* you, but *to* you, in the sincere hopes that you'd take all she says in with an open heart and an open mind, This included researched facts and figures, as well as references to real world news examples of women who have fallen real victim to "the death shroud", as she calls it; especially at the hands of those that these women were supposed to depend on, but instead lived in fear of. Because she is so thorough, however, she also made mention of the men and boys who have also suffered at the hands of Islam-- whether it be through being LGBT or through apostasy--both of which are punishable by death.
There was many a point in my day of listening that I wished I could hug her, and reassure her that she was not alone. And indeed she isn't, I commend Yasmine for having both the bravery and the courage to write and narrate this book, It takes a good amount of both to be willing to open that obviously *very* sensitive Pandora's box, especially among Muslims themselves, who are so conditioned and indoctrinated through a fear of "G_d", that they follow blindly. Those that do question, unfortunately suffer in silence, fearing being ostracized by both family and community at large. It is these people that must be shown the light/ empowered.
Instead, Yasmine points out that Western feminists, the far Left and corporations, in their attempts to veil their own racism and/or assuage their own guilt, have made the hijab into a symbol of "beauty" and "empowerment" here at home, while brave women around the world are being imprisoned for decades, tortured, and even killed for daring to remove it. Yasmine closes her book by pointing out this dangerous hypocrisy. Religious modesty is NOT feminism, nor does it protect one from being raped or subject to violence or slut shaming. When the ultimate goal of fundamentalist religion is subjugation and surrender, no society can be TRULY free.
Love you, Yasmine. 10 stars.

Harrowing biography
Yasmine Mohammed explores the dangerous and harrowing contours of being brought up under and within a terrifying fundamentalism. This biography is quite an effective criticism of fundamentalism and rigid ideology generally, and of her religion specifically.
The biography reveals almost every way fundamentalist ideology can damage human communities (at every level) that live under such systems.
I think her hypothesis about the ways in which the well meaning liberal attempt to not over simplify, shortstroke, or otherwise lean on stereotypes, and simplistic hottakes criticism of minority religious positions (at least in western democracies) actually hurt progress for endangered minorities within those communities has much to recommend it. That said, I’m not sure she makes the case as effectively as the subtitle of the book suggests she will.
That hypothesis is almost just an afterthought in the last chapter.
I would like to see her really expand on this hypothesis in another volume as I think her position and approach is exactly the stance all liberals like us should take. As it is both respectful of live and let live believers while also being unapologetically critical of fundamentalist excess. Even though I don’t think her book entirely justifies the subtitle, it is an important biography, that functions as one of the strongest critiques of religion I’ve read in many years. This is the case because it is shows how completely fundamentalist religious ideology can ignore real human suffering.

Amazing story
I first heard of Yasmine on Sam Harris’s podcast and wanted to learn more about her story. Yasmine does a great job informing the reader of the horrors associated with Islam. Reading this book really humbled me and made me appreciate being a non Muslim American. Unveiled is an eye opening story of her life as a Muslim and how she escaped.
Thank you Yasmine for writing this story. You inspire and motivate me to stand up for Muslim women and children.

A must read.
I was impressed by the author before reading the book. Now she is on such a high pedestal for bravery and courage and her will to survive. I’m so happy that I joined a live on instagram because this book opened my eyes to a world I thought I knew but had no idea.

Thank you for writing this book! Yasmine! Thank you for speaking up
My dear lovely friend Yasmine M,
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for writing your story and experiences Yassmine! I cannot explain in word how I felt reading your book and parallels and commons to your story and experiences to mine ( actually to millions individuals are relatable to your book in many ways! I am so proud of you so many ways the strong woman you become despite everything you went through! I am not along that people like you and Ayaan are heroes and courageous and know what freedom and liberty is!
Thank you so much for everything and the especially the message that to world that why are stories and experiences are people like me and you aren’t welcome in mainstream media and organizations! What happen It will be a dream come true to sit down sometime and just chat with you and get to know maybe we might be able to collaborate mean listen to each other's story and what we can do to help others and educate the world and humanity regarding this topic! We have to stay vigilant/strong and stand up for these awful behaviors especially little innocent girls are getting cut every day Especially in western countries ones who live in the free countries! This breaks my heart to pieces seriously these citizen children are not even protected even though they are American citizens!!!!!!!!!! That's why I need to speak up I need to stand up for them and help those who are voiceless! Like I always tell myself or and state something regarding this topic ... if I don't do this job who is going to do it though who is going to stop this horrifying practices like FGM and other abuses/honor are killing/ especially when it comes this particular ideology! Why is this ideology/culture and teachings is untouchable and in-critique-able!! When I read your book and Ayaan HA I felt I was reading my story and experiences and cried so much that after all I wasn’t crazy nor alone! Especially, horrifying practice (FGM) that are done to many innocent little girls children! I wonder where the children protection is because we aren’t familiar with this topic or culture that we are not going to stand for all children! many of us who went FGM had no choice to escape this terrible experiences but breaks my heart to pieces to see these practices are happening in western countries as North America, Canada and Europe many other nations! But sadly, it seems like we are afraid and failed to address horrifying issues ( practices) Any human being or person who desires of helping and willing to help others, I highly recommend Yassmine M and Ayaan HA work and books please check their work and educate yourself so that you can help/save individuals!
Thank you both Yasmine and Ayaan for open the road for many of us who’s coming behind! You are both beautiful inside and out bravery of breaking the stigmas and taboos that millions of us are told no do not say anything even when our guts (instincts) are saying no say something! You are both are the heroes of millions individuals who can’t speak up yet and give hopes and encourages that anything is possible in life! Here’s my saying I have been saying and proudly especially, after read yours books now I can say it Clear and loud! (Sara, “We must fight this together because we are in it together even if we free ourselves we do not feel completely free without fighting for those who can’t do the same! I myself Sara refused to stay silent because my instincts is telling me I must speak up! And I must stand up what I believing in! Together we can make difference in the whole world and humanity!
I am sorry I wrote a lot it seems like I wrote my book already!
Thank you for listen and read and helping and saving lives because at end of the day we all matter every individual life’s matter!

A truly moving story
I have not cried while reading a book since Khaled Hosseini's Kite Runner... I cried like a baby reading this.
I cried as I heard Yasmin's voice break when reading the chapters about her abuse, that got me. To me, this is why Audible is different. I got to hear about her pain through her voice while reading, not just imagine it. I connected with her, my heart and prayers reached out to her. I wanted to protect the little girl I was reading about...

Compelling
Thank you for sharing your story. Thank you for opening my eyes to what is truly happening to women and girls. Abuse is not okay, and you are bravely shining a light on the atrocities that are continuing to occur.

Stunning. Prepare to be brought to tears.
This book captures the pain that Muslim women undergo because of their culture and religion. Society has much to gain by hearing the numerous stories and of women like Yasmine Mohammed.
To Yasmine: Thank you for putting your story into words so the world can hear it.
