60: Yasmine Mohammed

For the 60^th episode of NEOHUMAN, Agah is chatting with Yasmine Mohammed. Canadian human rights activist, Yasmine Mohammed, advocates for the rights of women living within Islamic majority countries, as well as those who struggle under religious fundamentalism. She is also the founder of Free Hearts Free Minds, an organization that provides psychological support for freethinkers living within Muslim majority countries- where the state sanctioned punishment for leaving Islam is death. Her book, Unveiled, is a memoir/polemic that recalls her experiences growing up in a fundamentalist Islamic household and her arranged marriage to a member of Al-Qaeda. In it, she sheds light on the religious trauma that so many women still today are unable to discuss. They talk about wide range of subjects, including Islam, politics, hijab, Iran, Qasem Soleimani, Trump, Trudeau, and the alliance between Western Liberals & Islamists.
