It took me a while to finish this book, not because it was bad, but because the harrowing subject matter that young girls all over the world are still having to deal with. Yasmine is a brave warrior, standing up for not only muslim women, but women everywhere. I give it for stars because there were some editing issues and I do feel like at times, she does generalize the horrible things she went through as something ALL Muslim girls go through, which isn't the case (though many, TOO MANY, muslim girls & women do have it awful) I highly recommend Yasmine's book to any self proclaimed feminist, especially those certain white feminist who are on twitter and instagram pretending they know everything that happens in the middle east.… (meer)

The style and honesty are worth two stars. It's that the author takes horrible instances of abuse and claims it's all of Islamic thought behind it rather than the parent's abuse and sect behind it. It paints a biased look that, instead of focusing on the horrors of abuse and abuse of religion, pushes a stereotype weaponized by all sides.

To say "my Muslim parents abused me greatly and this is what I want people to understand" is entirely on the level. Claiming all families are like the authors and saying "because Islam"fuels lies and hate.… (meer)

Las mujeres y los librepensadores de las comunidades musulmanas tradicionales heredan una doble carga. Si quieren vivir en el mundo moderno, deben confrontarse no solo con los teócratas que moran en sus casas y escuelas, sino también con muchos progresistas laicos, cuya apatía, mojigatería y alucinaciones de “racismo” arrojan un velo más a su sufrimiento. En Sin velo, Yasmine Mohammed responde a ese reto con un coraje inaudito, refutando la peligrosa noción de que criticar la doctrina del islam es una forma de fanatismo. Que su sabiduría y su valentía nos inspiren.
SAM HARRIS, autor de El fin de la fe
Yasmine Mohammed es una mujer muy valiente y un resplandeciente ejemplo para todas las mujeres que hayan padecido abusos, sea bajo el manto de la religión como del de la cultura. La historia de Yasmine –que este libro relata– es trágica y a su vez persuasiva. Soportó algo que ningún ser humano debería soportar. Su historia es también un relato de tenacidad y coraje, porque “no hay excusas para el abuso”.
RAHEEL RAZA, autora de Their Jihad, not my Jihad
Somos demasiados los que tardamos en darnos cuenta de que las principales víctimas de la indecible crueldad que inspira la ferviente adhesión al islam son los propios musulmanes. Especialmente las mujeres. Este libro de Yasmine Mohammed, desgarrador, valiente y preciosamente escrito, trae esta realidad hasta nosotros de un modo que debería cambiar las mentes hasta de los más desinformados defensores de nuestro bien intencionado mundillo progresista.
RICHARD DAWKINS, autor de El espejismo de Dios

This was an impulsive e-book purchase without having read much of the blurb. I don't know what I was expecting but it wasn't this. Possibly I had expected more like the final chapter so I'm glad I stayed with it to the end.

This is an autobiographical account of a woman who would go on to found the Free Hearts, Free Minds organisation dedicated to supporting apostates in muslim-majority countries. The narrative focuses mostly on her abusive childhood and first marriage (unknowingly to an Al-Qaeda operative) although it does extend up to pretty much present time.

There is no doubt that Yasmine has endured a great deal and fought hard to be where she is today. It is also apparent that she has been let down by those very people who should have been there to protect her. Their failure to do so was due to 'cultural sensitivity'. This idea that oppression of any kind can be overlooked on this flimsy notion is the central theme of this book, as per the subtitle. Its an opinion that I heartily agree with. What Mohammed has done is to attempt to demonstrate this by telling her personal story.

I am of no religion and would defend the rights of anyone against oppressive religious dogma. I value this book as the personal testament of such a struggle. As such, I'm not going to rate it.
