Tweet by Imam Mohamad Tawhidi on Twitter

Imam Mohamad Tawhidi (@Imamofpeace)
We warn the West from what we fled from in the Middle East, but the West doesn't want to listen. This is your next generation: twitter.com/MEMRIReports/s…
Would this be called "hate speech", by the likes of Aussie politician Jihad Dib, who is upset (understandably) that his daughter was called a "dirty Muslim" at a soccer match, and who connects this bullying to "broader issues", specifically hate speech by adults who normalise such behaviour.
So, here is the "Imam of peace", calling out the horrid songs by an Islamic children's group in Pittsburgh.
What are we to do in the face of such challenges? Are we to be mute, because calling it out might lead to more teenage bullying?
BTW, Tawhidi is not recognised as an Imam by the Australian National Imams' Council, I'm guessing because (a) he's Shia and (b) he calls out radical Islam.
