After being raised by a "born again" Muslim mother and an abusive Islamic step-father, Yasmine was married off at age 20 to an Al Qaeda operative who subjected her to demoralizing dehumanization that simply stole her soul. Ultimately, it was only to save her daughter from genital mutilation and the same evil, inhuman fa...
