Mona Walter is on a mission. Her mission is for more Muslims to know what is in the Qur\u2019an. She says if more Muslims knew what was in the Qur\u2019an, more would leave Islam.<\/p>\n
Walter came to Sweden from Somalia as a war refugee when she was 19. She says she was excited about joining a modern European nation with equal rights for women. But as a young Muslim woman, that was not the Sweden she encountered.<\/p>\n
It was in Sweden that she first experienced radical Islam on a daily basis.<\/p>\n
\u201cI discovered Islam first in Sweden. In Somalia, you\u2019re just a Muslim, without knowing the Qur\u2019an. But then you come to Sweden and you go to mosque and there is the Qur\u2019an, so you have to cover yourself and you have to be a good Muslim.\u201d<\/p>\n
Walter says she grew up in Somalia never having read the Qur\u2019an.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t know what I was a part of. I didn\u2019t know who Muhammad was. I didn\u2019t know who Allah was. So, when I found out, I was upset. I was sad and I was disappointed,\u201d she recalled.<\/p>\n
