Mohammad Tawhidi, born in 1983 in Iran, is an Iranian-born Australian Shia Muslim commentator and self-described imam who styles himself as the 'Imam of Peace.' He has gained prominence for his outspoken criticism of Islamic extremism, Wahhabism, and political Islam, often aligning with Western values and supporting Israel. Tawhidi moved to Australia, where he became a citizen and began his public activism, frequently appearing in media to advocate against radical Islam. He divides his time between Canada and the Middle East, continuing his role as a public intellectual and speaker. His activism includes calls for banning certain Islamic texts and organizations linked to extremism. However, he has faced controversies, including excommunication by Shia religious authorities in Iran and Iraq who question his credentials as an imam, and criticism from some Muslim communities for allegedly misrepresenting Shia Islam and associating with far-right figures, though he maintains his positions stem from a reformist interpretation of Islam.
