Research
Mahmoud’s research activities evolve around establishing the possibility of reconciling Islamic Law and its ideals with those under International Human Rights Law and Western democracy. The mission is to establish with evidence the compatibility of Islam as an adequate human rights system, while addressing possible political, cultural and internal legal concerns of Muslim/Arab States.
Mahmoud’s current research engages in a debate pertaining to free and offensive anti-religious speech in Islam and International Human Rights Law, with the aim of establishing a possible, acceptable middle-ground between both systems.
Mahmoud is also a women’s right advocate, hence the other research engagements that involve the regulation of gender and human rights, and sexual offences in Islam, with specific focus the possibility of reforming the conceptual and legal approach of Muslim States to sexual offences in the Muslim/Arabic marital home.
