Yasmine Mohammed (Arabic: يَاسَمِين مُحَمَّد, romanized: Yāsamīn Muḥammad) is a Canadian university instructor, human rights activist and author.

[5] According to Mohammed's autobiography, her family lived a secular life until her father left when she was two, leaving her mother with three young children.

The police were called and the case went to court, but Mohammed states that the judge ruled that because her family was Arab, they had the right to discipline her in that manner.

[11][12] Following her escape, she secured student loans[6] and attended the University of British Columbia, where she took a history of religion class and started to examine Islam more critically for the first time.

Yasmine decided to start speaking out after she watched Ben Affleck and Sam Harris debate Islam on Real Time with Bill Maher.

Yasmine also raised money to accommodate Rahaf Mohammed, an asylum seeker who fled to Canada from Saudi Arabia to escape her abusive family.

[17] Mohammed was one of several witnesses that cautioned committee members to not be in a rush to legislate because of an "increasing public climate of hate and fear."

[23] The memoir outlines her upbringing in a fundamentalist, Islamic household in Canada, her step-father beating the bottoms of her feet for not reciting her prayers correctly, being married against her will to an Al-Qaeda operative, her escape and subsequent activism.

Mohammed responded that a more accurate title for the book could have been How Some Western Liberals Unintentionally Empower Radical Islam but this would not have captured sufficient attention.

[24] Yasmine subsequently changed the name of her book to Unveiled: How the West Empowers Radical Muslims for the Updated and Revised Edition.

Reports and academic studies claim to have connected her to a broader “Islamophobia industry” a well-resourced network that promotes “anti-Muslim ideologies” and contributes to “systemic discrimination against Muslims”.

This industry comprises various entities, including media organizations, think tanks, and influential individuals who propagate “anti-Muslim rhetoric”.

[27] Mohammed's public statements and actions align with the objectives of this industry, which seeks to portray Muslims as threats and perpetuate discriminatory attitudes and policies.

It's kind of ridiculous for us to expect that once they come and join our country, that their values are going to change; they won't change.” [25] In 2019 she had a speaking engagement at the University of British Columbia hosted by Free Speech Club.
