Forced to Marry Al Qaeda: Confessions of an “Ex-Muslim” ft. Yasmine Mohammed

Determined to fight for the human rights of the oppressed, Yasmine Mohammed speaks out and shares her experiences with Islam extremism. Her mother forced her to marry a terrorist and it wasn’t until she fell pregnant with a daughter that made her realize she had to escape in order to secure her a better life. In search of freedom, she also found her voice and now she platforms countless other people who share their experiences. Find and support Yasmine!
