THREAD: Why would a person of integrity claiming to be a man of religion cheat at twitter?

This thread will reveal some the egregious deceptions perpetrated by @Imamofpeace on @twitter. More proof that he is @ImamofIbleace.

Imam Tawhidi operated under the username 1/x

“@Tawhidicom” from July 10, 2013, the date his profile indicates he first joined Twitter, through February of 2016 when he became “@ImamofPeace,” which remains his current active username.

In a recent re: to @LaloDagach May 28, 2017 tweet (who contacted Zuhdi Jasser on 2/x

social media regarding Jasser’s Asia Times editorial referencing tweets from the account @BrotherTawhidi), Tawhidi tweeted “people were warned since 2013” that the @BrotherTawhidi account was “fake.” Despite the fact that the “BrotherTawhidi” account is the second result 3/x

shown by Google when doing a search for Imam Tawhidi, the tweet to Dagach was the only indication from Tawhidi that the alternate account is “fake,” and it has since been deleted by Tawhidi. An impostor account violates Twitter’s impersonation policy, which allows “parody” 4/x

accounts but requires them to be clearly identified as such, the “BrotherTawhidi” account has not been removed by Twitter, despite its non-compliance with the policy… but the two “warnings” about the “fake” account have been removed by Tawhidi. When Tawhidi denies ownership 5/x

of the “BrotherTawhidi” tweets, he is given the benefit of the doubt based on the “honor system,” a system that he is incapable of abiding by.

Immediately following this spat between Tawhidi, Jasser, and Dagach over allegations of dishonest social media behavior, Imam 6/x

Tawhidi acquired 20,000 followers on Twitter in a 24 hour time period. A screenshot was captured of Tawhidi’s profile on June 3 at 6:20 pm when Tawhidi had 29.9k followers. A subsequent screenshot of Tawhidi’s profile on June 4 at 10:54 am indicated 44.5k followers. 7/x

At 8:20 pm, Tawhidi’s follower count reached 49.6k followers, amounting to a gain of 20,000 followers in a mere 24 hours. On June 13, Tawhidi’s follower count surpassed 68k followers, and on June 17 at 12:14 am, Tawhidi hit 75,000 followers, gaining 45,000 in under two weeks. 8/x

On Jan. 27, 2018, the NY Times published an article on the Twitter black market, or selling of Twitter followers. Twitter responded to the article by purging millions of bot accounts, as purchasing fake followers to gain legitimacy violates Twitter’s usage policy. On the 9/x

same day the story broke, @Imamofpeace made a post asking Twitter to explain why he had lost 3,000 followers in seven hours. Twenty minutes later, Imam Tawhidi indicated his followers had miraculously returned, however, according to a Twittercounter.com report on 10/x

Houdini Tawhidi, the followers did not return. Regardless, much like the warnings about the “fake” @BrotherTawhidi his disappearing followers have disappeared. #CharacterMatters.

Given the history of tweets has been deleted for “BrotherTawhidi,” it is impossible to prove 11/x

with 100% certainty who operated the account; however, it isn’t impossible to analyze remaining info to identify consistent patterns. In order to do so, it was important to construct a timeline for the history of “BrotherTawhidi.” A Twitter search for “BrotherTawhidi” 12/x

shows the account first began getting mentions in January of 2013. This info is important to note, as profile page for the “BrotherTawhidi” account that Imam Tawhidi is referencing when he refers to it as a “parody” account indicates the account was created on July 9, 2013, 13/x

7 months after the account first became active on Twitter. From Jan. of ‘13 to July of ‘13 “BrotherTawhidi” is operated by individual claiming to be Imam Tawhidi until July 9, ‘13 when the account is reactivated by a differ user,and then alleges to be archived tweets of Imam 14/x

Tawhidi. Here are early interactions with @BrotherTawhidi. Profile page for “ImamofPeace” indicates he joined Twitter on July 10, 2013, 24 hours after “BrotherTawhidi” is shut down by Imam Tawhidi, and reactivated by a different user.Technically, Tawhidi is not lying when he 15/x

says “the account is not mine,” but he has never addressed the issue of whether or not it ever was. While all activity occurring prior to July 9, 2013 under the @BrotherTawhidi username has been deleted, much like Tawhidi’s warnings about the “parody” account and the tweets 16/x

about his disappearing followers, users who opted to retweet @BrotherTawhidi by retyping the text (as opposed to using the “retweet” button) confirm that the comments were made by Imam Tawhidi “BrotherTawhidi” prior to July 9, 2013, but the individual operating the account 17/x

is yet to be determined. The @BrotherTawhidi tweets bear a striking resemblance to a number of teeets by Imam Tawhidi in their inflammatory vulgar nature towards Aisha, the Prophet’s wife and other Sunni figures also deleted by @Imamofpeace. As shown, on December 10, 2017 18/x

Imam Tawhidi posted a vile tweet referencing alleged sexual promiscuity of Aisha, comparing her “nights with different men” to a USB that is “in an out of every computer.” While Imam Tawhidi deleted the tweet (much like the warnings about the “fake account”) and will 19/x

likely deny ever making it, the tweet received multiple replies, several of which remain “liked” by Imam Tawhidi. It would be negligent not to question the motives of an individual who identifies as a moderate reformer, yet exhibits an ideology ingrained with deep-seated 20/x

anti-Sunni sectarian sentiments, and an ire for select Shia Muslims. Worthy of consideration is fact that whoever was operating under username “BrotherTawhidi” from January 2013 to July 9, 2013 did not simply deactivate and abandon the account, rather (Imam Tawhidi) someone 21/x

took the time to delete every individual tweet. This is an inordinate amount of effort to put forth unless it is an attempt to prevent someone from utilizing a user ID number to link the tweets to any future accounts. Tawhidi claims he began to “rebel” in 2016 after he 22/x

“woke up,” and started speaking out against extremism. He claims his “rebellion” made him the target of attacks by radicals who are upset that he is “exposing” them. While fragments may be partially true, reality is that Muslims have been speaking out against Tawhidi since 23/x

before 2013, not for his alleged reform endeavors, but for the hate-filled sectarian warfare he wages against Sunni and select Shia Muslims. While initial Jan. ‘13 creation of “BrotherTawhidi” account does not coincide with Tawhidi’s awakened message of “peace,” the deletion 24/x

of the tweets coincides with Imam Tawhidi’s soon-to-be employment with a Shirazi television station. This wouldn’t make Tawhidi the first individual to modify social media accounts prior to a career move. To no avail, disappearance of the “BrotherTawhidi” tweets 25/x

did not ease the opposition to Tawhidi, and in 2014 this petition was filed with Change.org to have Tawhidi removed from the Shirazi station. The petition is marked “victory,” and according to a petition update, Tawhidi’s contract with the television station 26/x

was terminated. Regardless, the retaliatory logic cannot be used to justify the “parody” account, as Imam Tawhidi himself was radical until his alleged 2016 awakening. While “BrotherTawhidi” offended many people, there were a handful of loyal users who publicly voiced 27/x

their support. Among the first users to mention “BrotherTawhidi” in Jan. of 2013 were fellow Shirazi followers “Dia_Haddad” (who has also operated under the username “DiaalKarbalai”) and “KhadimQanbar” (formerly “KhadimAhulbayt”). Prior to July 9, 2013 28/x

(the date the account was reactivated by a new user), “Dia_Haddad” was simultaneously communicating with “BrotherTawhidi” on Twitter and Imam Tawhidi on Instagram. While the deletion of all tweets from “BrotherTawhidi” makes it impossible to know for sure, the dialogue 29/x

appears to be reciprocated by “BrotherTawhidi,” and the user does not seem concerned over the authenticity of the account at the time the dialogue is taking place.

“KhadimQanbar” initiated contact with “BrotherTawhidi” by expressing excitement that Tawhidi was now 30/x

on Twitter to “expose more of Umar,” and shortly after, reminisced on old memories. At no point has this user alluded to the possibility that “BrotherTawhidi” was not the Imam himself, and much like the dialogue that occurred with “Dia_Haddad,” it has a very personal tone. 31/x

Not long after, Imam Tawhidi posted a photograph on Instagram of himself in Karbala with two male companions. A closer look would reveal those males were “Dia_Haddad” and “KhadimQanbar.” RECAP: two of the first users to interact with @BrotherTawhidi appear in a photograph 32/x

with Imam Tawhidi that he posted on his Instagram profile. On a different occassion, Imam Tawhidi made a separate Instagram post containing a video of himself at the airport that was filmed by “Dia_Haddad,” further demonstrating the dynamics of their close friendship. 33/x

In a Facebook thread where multiple users debated whether or not they agreed with BrotherTawhidi’s tweets, “Dia Haddad” stated that Sayed Sadiq [Shirazi] instructed Tawhidi to “stop this online activity,” but insists Tawhidi has since “changed his views.” Perhaps Tawhidi 34/x

was given these orders at the same time the previously mentioned contract with Shirazi’s television station was terminated due to the opposition incited by Tawhidi’s festering hate. While it’s possible that “Dia_Haddad” and “KhadimQanbar” were unaware that they were 35/

receiving responses from a counterfeit account around the same time they were planning a trip to Karbala with the individual they thought they were communicating with on Twitter, a tweet by a third user (and fellow Shirazi follower) leaves less room for such doubt 36/x

irrefutably making contact with Imam Tawhidi. “ShabirMukhtar” first reached out to “BrotherTawhidi” on February 7, 2013. He expressed interest in meeting “BrotherTawhidi,” and maintained frequent interaction with “Tawhidicom” and “Imamofpeace.” On May 3, 2013, 2 months 37/x

before Tawhidi was allegedly on Twitter, “Shabirmukhtar” posted a tweet containing a screenshot of a tweet made by “Brothertawhidi”. This tweet to “Brothertawhidi” was liked and remains liked by “Imamofpeace” his verified sccount. It is understandable that the user 38/x

thought @Brothertawhidi and @Imamofpeace were the same person.

On December 25, 2015, Imam Tawhidi released an “open letter to the public” in which he apologizes for the hateful things he has said over past decade, acknowledging that those statements made by BrotherTawhidi 39/x

were in fact him. He indicates 2016 will be a big year for him, he will be present in the media, and he will be taking a change of course per the orders of his Marja Taqlid (Sayid Sadiq Shirazi, whose vile ideas Tawhidi adamantly refuses to condemn). 40/x

Not surprisingly, Imam Tawhidi denies the authenticity of the apology letter he posted on December 25, 2015 to his Facebook page in the exact same manner he denies the authenticity of the BrotherTawhidi tweets. Given the behavior patterns that have been clearly established 41/x

by Tawhidi, every precaution should’ve been taken to capture irrefutable evidence of where the letter was extracted from, however the remaining evidence that has not been deleted is quite incriminating. A user ( a fellow Shirazi follower who on multiple occasions claims to 42/x

be a “close family friend” of Tawhidi’s who goes by “AbdullahRafidhi” posted the letter on Twitter in an exchange over whether or not Imam Tawhidi ever operated under the username “BrotherTawhidi.” While this “close family friend” indicates the account is “fake” 43/x

(by December 25, 2015 the account was under different ownership, and could be considered “fake”), he refuses to answer the question of whether or not Tawhidi ever said such things, opting instead to offer the apology letter, explicitly stating “he just posted this, 44/x

worth a read.” Much like the previous users mentioned, “AbdullahRafidhi” has a personal relationship with Tawhidi, and openly supports him. Just prior to the user posting this letter in an exchange, he manually retweeted Imam Tawhidi’s “open letter to the public,” which 45/x

automatically posted to his Facebook profile at the same time. He retweeted Tawhidi at 7:42 AM, and within the same minute responded to a tweet made by Tawhidi. While the deletion of all of Tawhidi’s tweets makes it impossible to know what “open letter to the public” 46/x

the user was responding to, Imam Tawhidi “liked” the reply, and it remains “liked” by @ImamofPeace today. Just a few days later, “ShaykDaniel” quoted and retweeted Tawhidi’s apology letter (per the request of Tawhidi in his original post) as an example of the importance 47/x

of admitting one’s mistakes and apologizing. “ShaykDaniel’s” message once again automatically populated “AbdullahRafidhi’s” Facebook profile when he retweeted it. While the tweet made by Imam Tawhidi from his Tawhidicom account has been deleted, Facebook still shows 48/x

a preview of what Imam Tawhidi’s tweet said; “I apologize to all those I may have unintentionally hurt in the past years. Please read my pinned tweet and have a Happy New Year…” The content of this tweet from Imam Tawhidi is identical to the text from the letter Tawhidi 49/x

dishonestly denies ever releasing. Full forensic report here landofthefree1776.com/2018/02/02/bro… 50/x
