Research Interests
Mahmoud has particular interest in International and Islamic Human Rights Law. Mahmoud is passionate about comparative research, while placing minority groups (including religious) protection against discrimination, hate and violence at the centre. Mahmoud's current research aims to generate debate regarding the possiblilty of proposing a middle ground between Islamic and international human rights law on issues pertaining to Human Rights generally, but teh regulation of offensive anti-religious speech in particular.
Mahmoud's research interest extends beyond free speech and minority rights, to women rights in Islam, the statehood of Palestine as a matter of international law, Islamophobia as an upsurging global concern and the impact of war from historical and contemporary perspectives.
PhD Project
Mahmoud's PhD title is "Conceptual and legal harmonisation of offensive anti-religious speech: Reconciling the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights with the approach of Muslim States for the protection of Islamic beliefs, and Muslim and non-Muslim minority groups"
