“"....I grew up in a world where feminism was all around me like a beacon of hope cutting through the opposing ideas I was being taught at home....
At home I was taught that, as nine years old, I needed to wear a hijab to protect myself from men who wanted to molest me.
From my society, I learned that’s called victim-blaming.
At home I was taught that good, pure, clean girls wore hijab and filthy, loose, despicable girls did not.
From my society, I learned that was called slut-shaming.
Given the choice between those two worlds, I eventually chose to break free."”

Joseph on Yasmine Mohammed
“"....Many apologists for Islam have claimed “Muslims are the true feminists” or “Islam is a religion of peace,” and it is certainly possible to have Muslims who are feminists, and the vast majority of Muslims are peaceful people. Many verses in the Quran and Hadith support women and peace. But Yasmine’s story reveals that anyone pushing those narratives without acknowledging that much of Islamic doctrine does the opposite is either ignorant or dishonest...."”
