The author describes her life experiences from Somalia to Kenya to the Netherlands to the United States. She discusses the problems that Musim immigrants face due to a combination of religious and cultural reasons, pointing out three major areas of difficulty — sex, money, and violence. An ex-Muslim who became an atheist after reading the Koran in the wake of the September 11 attacks, she considers various strategies to reduce the hold of Islam on people in Muslim countries as well as on Muslim immigrants.
