The Hi everyone. Thank you so much for tuning in. I'm Lauren Chen and with me I have a very special ins to your guest

and I'm Thauchiori. Thank you. Hello Lauren. Thank you very much for having me.

For sure now this is actually not the first time we've spoken I've interviewed you before but never before in person

So for anyone who's not yet familiar with you what would you say I guess your goals are who are you and what are you trying to accomplish? My name is

Mohammed Tahiti and I am a Iranian-born Australian Muslim imam

I spend my days having meetings with diplomats and social leaders as well as faith leaders

Hoping to

ideologically tackle the Islamic extremists and the fundamentalists that have infested Islam and I've just released my book which basically outlines my highlights of my journey as well as my ideology and my agenda. my of a life that we have. Other than that I am a third generation imam I've been

trained in Iran and I returned to Australia in 2015 and I've been very busy ever

since. So your book the tragedy of Islam on sale now if anyone hasn't checked it out yet,

you're very critical of a lot of aspects of Islam in that and I think a lot of people

who are familiar with your platform know that you don't let any radicals off the hook at all.

I think when I let people know that I was going to be speaking with you a lot of people were curious as to

what what do you find redeeming Islam?

What for you and the Islamic doctrine do you think is worth being an

adherent for?

Because I think a lot of people, when they hear all of your criticisms,

they may ask if you see so much

that is wrong with Islam why stick around?

Well to answer your question I'll need to give you three separate answers from three separate perspectives. The first

question is basically why do I stick Iran with Islam and the answer to that is

that I don't believe that religion can be left or that you can distance
