THREAD: This account is a database of publicly available evidence compiled by @AIFDemocracy about Mohammed Tawhidi (aka @Imamofpeace). His alternate reality relies on click-bait, smoke and mirrors, and deleted fleeting existences which depends on a public who do no research. 1/17

As background, in 2017, a gentleman in Adelaide, Mohammad Tawhidi, @Imamofpeace emerged into Australian media and quickly became a sensation because he seemed to have straight-talk about Islam, calling it a “violent religion” that has “spread by violence from its beginning” 2/17

and the Prophet Muhammad a “terrorist Prophet”. He slyly would qualify that as “their terrorist Prophet”. A number of Islamists were interviewed in the Australian media, and their responses quickly gave Tawhidi a foil with which to advance the perception that he was the 3/17

the imam everyone had been waiting for. As is typical for Islamists, their response, because of their own profound ideological liabilities and dishonesty, was to call him a “fake imam.” Tawhidi also reported (uncorroborated) death threats and provided video of him being 4/17

called names, and he used these reported attacks, many of which were never verified, to engender sympathy among a significant number of Australians. Similar to what we’ve seen in the rest of the west, the Australians have been awaiting honest Muslim discourse in lieu of the 5/17

apologetics, denials, and dishonesty spewed by the Islamists.

AIFD @aifdemocracy heard about Tawhidi in March 2017 when we were contacted by a Fox news reporter regarding a report they were doing about Tawhidi’s work and the attacks upon him in Australia. 6/17

That report is here. One quick note is that Tawhidi used a photograph of our founder, Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, in reference to this report on his homepage as if there was an endorsement, which was entirely dishonest. Dr. Jasser’s words in the piece were 7/17 foxnews.com/world/muslim-a…

“I’m with him on his statements on radical Islam and the Muslim Brotherhood and other groups he has been targeting in Australia. He’s right, they are separatists and a threat to the sovereignty of Australia.” Dr. Jasser proceeded to warn that “Tawhidi isn’t treating the core 8/17

ideology, which is why Sunni groups have jumped on him and called him fake.” Dr. Jasser made clear that he does not endorse anyone who calls Tawhidi a fraud, but he did not want people to miss the fact that some Shia imams,who may be dishonest,exploit this common occurrence 9/17

Since that time, Tawhidi has continued to grow his contacts, having the time and funding to travel to Europe, Canada, the US and other places building as many prominent contacts as he can among analysts and some thought leaders to whom 10/17

some of his sound bites and talking points appeal. On the surface, many of those talking points appear to resemble the ideas we discuss in the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, @AIFDemocracy such as the need to condemn terror groups like ISIS, Al Qaeda and their 11/17

founding fathers, the Wahabbis, and other various and sundry radical Islamists (Salafi jihadists) by name. We did an initial deep-dive research on Mr. Tawhidi, and as you will see here, we’re very concerned with our findings. The reality of the deceptiveness, dishonesty, 12/17

and a lack of coherence of Imam Tawhidi’s positions are easy to discern by anyone who takes the time to conduct a thoughtful analysis, rather than relying on a few sound bites or speeches. Frankly, it still is quite incredulous that somebody like Mohammed Tawhidi who lacks 13/17

any academic or analytical footprint and is without a significant body of commentary, books, chapters, testimonies, or positions vetted or unvetted would be given such a platform in such a short time.Tawhidi, himself, even admits he was a radical only 2-3 years ago, and for 14/17

many of the reformers who have been in this field for over a decade establishing a coherent reputation, it is far too early to believe one word from Mr. Tawhidi, and even in the short time that he’s been on the scene, there is nothing consistent about his work. 15/17

The following tweets posted at this account will be a running collection of the evidence publicly available of Mohammad Tawhidi’s deception, corruption, and dishonesty. 16/17

This full report is our initial analysis of his work, or lack thereof, who he is, what we believe he stands for, and why he obviously has no integrity. Follow this account
