The five myths Muslims must deny
In November 2001, an article was published under Mahmood's name supportive of the war against Afghanistan headlined The Five Myths Muslims Must Deny: "Our obligation," the article stated, "is to separate myth from reality, lies from truth and start making clear judgments on where we see our duty, responsibility and future."[2] A few days later, however, it was revealed that the Observer article had not in fact been written by Mahmood, but by Labour Friends of Israel Policy Council member and then Foreign Office minister, Denis MacShane; Mahmood agreed to put his name to the article after Lord Ahmed of Rotherham refused. Mahmood's actions were condemned by Inayat Bunglawala from the Muslim Council of Britain, who said: "MacShane then found Mahmood – universally regarded as being not exactly the brightest spark in parliament – to be a more willing instrument for his scheme."[3]
