Mohammad Tawhidi (born 1982 or 1983), who calls himself the "Imam of Peace", is an Australian Shia Muslim commentator and self-described imam who divides his time between Canada and the Middle East. Tawhidi is known for his outspoken opposition to Islamic extremism, political Islam, and terrorism, as well as for advocating reform within Islam grounded in what he describes as its original ethical principles. He has condemned jihadist violence and groups, rejects the use of religion to justify coercion or violence, and promotes reinterpretations of Islamic texts that align with human rights, democratic values, and peaceful coexistence with non-Muslim societies. He has taken public positions in favor of women's rights, opposing compulsory veiling, domestic violence, polygyny, child marriage, female genital multilation, and the killing or punishment of apostates, and has called for women's participation in Islamic religious leadership. Tawhidi's views have drawn both support and criticism, particularly within Muslim communities, and some of his statements have been positively received by Western far-right and Islamophobic groups.
