Imam Mohammad Tawhidi

How high up was your father?

My father is a community cleric.

Community.

I'm not involved in my world at all.

But he didn't want to get involved in this type of conversation.

But I understood, and when I understood, I said, you know what?

I'm not getting involved with these guys anymore.

And of course, once they realize that you are no longer subscribed to their ideology, the first thing that happens is that they cancel your visa.

Though I was born in Iran, I was there as an Australian citizen.

So they cancel your visa, and then you have to figure it out on your own.

But my visa still had time.

I just did not submit to renew it.

I had like eight, nine months left.

So what I did was I stayed in Iran and I stayed in another school that was offered a dormitory that I was offered by these other good clerics.

They're all fundamentalist, but they were less corrupt.

So their corruption would be financial, wasting money on unnecessary initiatives.

It wouldn't be murder and blood and trying to take down the West.

None of that.

Okay.

So you love whoever Khamenei loves and you hate whoever Khamenei hates.
