British Deviant loses his marbles inside of the masjid
Last April Khalid Mahmood, a British politician, made a mule of himself in a recorded dispute between him and another person at a Masjid in Birmingham, England.
Imran Mulla from the Middle East Eye reports (1):
“Shut up and listen, please,” [Mahmood] shouts in the video. “Give me the respect. I give you the respect, just listen.”
He goes on to address a heckler: “You don’t read anything. The problem with people are that they’re ignorant. The problem is even in the house of God you’re ignorant and that’s the problem.”
Mahmood adds: “The big problem with our community is illiteracy, because they’re not able to read what’s in front of them.”
For one, shame on this community for allowing their masjid to operate as a soapbox for zandaqah [1]. One of the most pitiful behaviours of today’s Westernized Muslim is their affection for democracy. They are deluded into the idea that representation in this ignorant, Shaytanic form of government is at all compatible with Islam.
“Mahmood’s” rapsheet.
This event, as shameful as it is, is riveting to behold on account of the insight that it gives us into the moral character of the Modernist.
“Mahmood”, the Foreign Office sockpuppet
In November 2001 he published an article under his name in the Observer supporting Britain’s invasion of Afghanistan. A few days later it emerged that the article had not been written by Mahmood but by a Foreign Office minister.
When Britain invaded Iraq in 2003, Mahmood publicly supported the war.
“Mahmood”, the highfalutin
In 2009 the politician was criticised for using a false name to claim more than a thousand pounds in expenses, using an alias to stay at a five-star hotel in London with his girlfriend. Mahmood defended his actions at the time, saying he paid a “bloody good rate” for the hotel room.
“Mahmood”, the anti-Islāmic conspiracist
Later, he became a proponent of the now-debunked conspiracy theory in 2014 that there was a Trojan Horse plot by Muslims to take over Birmingham schools.
Mahmood has never acknowledged that Trojan Horse was a hoax. In 2022, he wrote an article for The Spectator attacking a New York Times podcast which showed that the Trojan Horse plot was not real.
Although the piece was headlined “What the New York Times gets wrong about the ‘Trojan Horse Affair’”, it mentioned nothing the New York Times had got wrong.
“Mahmood”, the zānī
That same year Mahmood’s former aide and girlfriend, Elaina Cohen, accused him of unfairly dismissing her, although he said she was fired after “embarrassing and humiliating” him.
In 2018 Cohen, who is Jewish, had taken him to an employment tribunal on grounds of religious discrimination. The case cost the taxpayer £40,000 ($50,600) and was settled out of court.
“Mahmood’s” latest capers
Mahmood is also a senior fellow at Policy Exchange, a neoconservative think tank that has significantly influenced Britain’s counter-extremism policy in the past decade.
In February 2023 Mahmood came under fire for claiming at a Policy Exchange event that adverts showing women wearing headscarves intimidate Muslim women who choose not to wear them.
May Allāh prevent us from all beliefs, actions and inclinations that will spoil our Īmān and bring discord to the integrity of the Muslim Ummah at large. Āmīn.
