In a new limited series called Islam and the West, Yasmine is inviting the most brilliant minds of our time to discuss the most pressing issues of our time. These conversations help us understand the goals of Islamists in the West, who are infiltrating our governments, media and academic institutions. They also examine strategies to battle the overwhelming antisemitism and Islamism in the West.The first guest on the Islam and the West limited series is Raymond Ibrahim, an expert on Islamic history and doctrine, and a widely published expert on the Middle East and Islam. He is the author of multiple books including Defenders of the West: The Christian Heroes Who Stood Against Islam (2022) and Sword and Scimitar: Fourteen Centuries of War between Islam and the West (2018). He has appeared on C-SPAN, Al-Jazeera, CNN, NPR, and PBS and has been published by a variety of publications. Formerly an Arabic linguist at the Library of Congress, Ibrahim has guest lectured at many universities.Ibrahim’s dual-background—born and raised in the U.S. by Egyptian parents from the Middle East—has provided him with unique advantages, from equal fluency in English and Arabic, to an equal understanding of the Western and Middle Eastern mindsets.Twitter: https://x.com/RaymondIbrahim5Website: https://www.raymondibrahim.com/ Raymond’s books: - Defenders of the West: https://a.co/d/41mqcQk- Sword and Scimitar: https://a.co/d/hYFnKRI

Inside Hasidism: The Misogynism Within Ultra-Orthodox Judaism.
Goldie Hoffman grew up as one of 10 kids in a Hasidic family in an insular community in Brooklyn, New York. She endured strict gender roles, dress codes, and food laws. Her education was also limited as she was a girl in a Hasidic community. From a very early age, she was already acutely aware of and hated her restrictive second-class status. She knew what sexism was before she knew the word.While obtaining a degree in History and Middle East Studies, Goldie learned that anything countering the current neo-'progressive' viewpoint was not accepted, denigrated as 'Orientalist' and therefore racist and uneducated. She has experienced life within different societies and cultures -- which can make her feel like everywhere's home and yet nowhere is all at the same time.

Jasmin's Odyssey: Saudi Arabia to Western Freedom
Jasmin was born to an Arabian father and an Italian mother in Saudi Arabia and raised in fundamentalist Islam. Jasmin started wearing burqa in her tweens. She would get into verbal altercations with the “Mutawaa” (religious police) who monitored everyone and would harass, beat with canes, or take women to jail if they didn’t comply as they are silenced and not seen in any public place. Jasmin experienced segregation in all aspects of her life and did not even own her own ID card as women belong to their guardian male. From a child to adulthood, when Jasmin travelled to Italy to visit her mother’s family, she would see and experience the opposite side: modern, progressive, liberal western lifestyle. In her memoir, The Last Sandstorm, she shares this unusual and challenging upbringing that led to her dramatic escape to the United States in 1999, earning degrees in sociology, creative writing, public policy, and ethical leadership.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasmin.faulk/Website: https://www.jasminfaulk.com/ Jasmin’s book: https://store.bookbaby.com/book/the-last-sandstorm
