[the_ad id=”90513″]In yet another stark example of how sharia is incompatible with free socieites, an imam in Australia was labeled by fellow Muslims as a “fake” follower of Islam simply because he wanted to abide the laws of his country over that of his religion.
Muslims now call imam Shaikh Mohammad Tawhidi a fraud and a fake, the Daily Mail Australia reported, citing a 4-minute video he made describing his situation.
Tawhidi has been a voice in the Muslim community who’s stood against ISIS and other radicals.
But he was just confronted by several of his fellow Muslims, and they condemned him for his moderate tone, and for pledging to uphold the laws of Australia first and sharia, second.
From the Daily Mail Australia (thanks to Jihad Watch):
“Tawhidi, who has openly spoken out against ISIS and extremists, confronted members of the Islamic community in a video shared online on Friday.
“Imam Tawhidi said he was labelled a ‘fake’ Shaikh because he prioritised Australian law over Sharia law.
“‘I am considered a fake because I would die for Australia. I am considered a fake because I live by the Australian constitution,’ he said.
“‘I am considered a fake because I glorify the Australian flag.’
“‘I am considered a fake because I reject Sharia law and live by the Australian law.’
“In the four minute-long video, Imam Tawhidi listed various reasons for why he had been called ‘a fake’ by members of the Muslim community in Australia.
“‘They have called me a fake Muslim Imam or a Shaikh only because I expose their intentions to create a caliphate within Australia,’ he said.
“‘I am considered a fake because I condemn terrorism. I am considered a fake because I oppose and expose extremism.’
“‘They have called me a fake Muslim Imam or a Shaikh only because I expose their intentions to create a caliphate within Australia,’ Imam Tawhidi said.
“He defended himself claiming he was legitimate and only accused of being a fraud because he did not serve a radical Islamic agenda.
“‘For them, I am too Australian,’ he said.
“The Muslim leader said he rejected controversial Sharia law to live by the Australian law ‘because I am an Australian Muslim and not a Muslim Australian.’
“‘I want an Islam that is compatible with the west,’ he said.”

Is he still in Australia, WHY ?. He is real state enemy.
<- By working on Facebook I'm making $90 to $120 per hour. I used to be jobless 6 months ago, but I am getting a relly good salary by doing this on-line job. I'm extremely grateful to my company and God. Should you need to get a fair quantity of wages per month like me , you're able to check my details by clicking the link below……………………. http://smarturl.co/FzCfTvH
Yes he is and most welcome. So refreshing to see someone of his stature who values the Australian way of life. Kudos to him.
Damnit Stormgal….You need to post more. 5 posts in 7 years??? You’re articulate and you know how to think. Why are you holding back?
Well thank you. Apart from the fact I am extremely busy, I am a bit shy lol.
Busy is good. Shy is good. Laughter is good. You are good and I appreciate reading your thoughts.
OK, I’ll do just for you 🙂
Courage m’dear.
Fight the good fight
Loveya..
boom
Deport those who spoke against him as they are traitors with the intent of overthrowing the government by force.
well said…
this makes me think of two scenario’s for Imam Shaikh Mohammad Tawhidi. One, he’ll be forced to recant and instead push the 7th century Muslim demagoguery. Two, someone is going to issue a fatwah against him. Either way the rest will make sure there are no moderates…..period….end of story.
Do not know where the Australian authorities are to deport all who came out against this Muslim. They have lied not to accept the Australian way of life and lied if got citizenship
Then any Muslim can be a liar and not be trusted

He should leave Islam amd take up new identity
He’s in hiding at the moment, cos he’s had death threats due to his comments re Islam. I think he is the real deal unlike many Imans in Australia
Hate hearing how another Mosque went up this week , we should burn them to rhe ground
Agreed, there are more being built here in Oz by the day. We are being invaded and I am very concerned.
I am also very concerned as the world takes a beating from Muslins, while many play right into the kions Den.
Did you watch Vanessa Redgrave interview on ABC, a goodcwomannwith half a brain, when she gives views on refugess, Islam when she does not know history.
I am sick of the leftist channel ABC, controlling much of our views. Only just a little of the ABC has not fallen but still a big danger as they have the larger say in the news. Good news has almist gone on otger channels. Pity channeln10 gone to the walll as it was a good alternative to what was hapoening around the world.
SBS you have to be on middle of the night to get alternative news in English
