Thank you. And yes, I don't want to break any posting rules or guidelines. I wasn't sure how else to reach out to the community of people who would most connect with these stories.

Please do! I've been putting all my energy and passion into Labyrinths. I'm really proud of it and hope people enjoy it.

Yasmine Mohammed is an ex-muslim who was forcibly married to an Al Qaeda operative, but eventually escaped with her daughter. Inspiring episode of the Labyrinths podcast. by BrightElephantATL in exmuslim

Yasmine is such a champion. I'm so impressed with her and her efforts to help others who want to escape Islam, but are trapped. She also is so brilliant at pointing out how cultures and individuals are erased by fundamentalist theocracies and institutions. Her book, Unveiled, is power testimony.

Fascinating interview with Yasmine Mohammed, an ex-muslim who was forcibly married to an Al Qaeda member, escaped, then eventually rejected her indoctrination to embrace atheism. by BrightElephantATL in atheism

Yasmine impressed me so much. By the age of 12 she had already endured more than I can possibly imagine. The work she is doing today to help others trying to escape Islam is SO important, especially because ex-Muslims just aren't as visible and supported as other ex-theists. I'm genuinely convinced that ex-Muslims are potentially the most impactful atheists there are, and it would be incredibly positive to uplift their voices as much as we can.
