Story summary

Yasmine Mohammed, an ex-Muslim woman who grew up in a secular Muslim family, was forced to marry Essam Marzouk, an Egyptian al-Qaeda terrorist, when she was younger. Her mother had radicalized and gave her religious justifications for accepting the abuse from her husband, telling her that she was his property. Mohammed became pregnant with their daughter and eventually escaped the abusive marriage after Marzouk mentioned taking their daughter to Egypt for female genital mutilation (FGM). Mohammed now uses her platform to educate people about Islamic radicalism, which she experienced firsthand.
