He was voiced by Omid Abtahi.
Role[]
When Peter befriends Mahmoud, he agrees to convert to Islam, but not without Quagmire and Joe becoming suspicious of Mahmoud's intentions and setting out to break up the friendship. Mahmoud invites Peter to a Muslim get-together, but finds himself unwittingly involved with terrorists intent on blowing up the Quahog Bridge. Peter realizes that he has been duped and wants to drop out, but Joe convinces him to go along with it since he is already on the inside. As they go over the plan, Peter finds out that he will be driving the van but is caught when he reveals he is wearing a microphone. The guys hear as the bombing plan is rushed into action. Peter is held at gunpoint and forced to drive the explosives-laden van to the bridge. Peter tries to talk Mahmoud out of his plan but fails. Joe arrives in time to stop him and destroys the detonator by knocking it out of Mahmoud's hand. He is arrested shortly afterwards.

Also, Mahmoud has what Joe describes as a phone clipped to his belt. Mahmoud introduces Peter to Islamic culture and asks Peter if he feels interested in converting himself to Islam - to which Peter agrees. The next day, Mahmoud invites Peter to a Muslim get-together event. Peter decides to get come, but he suddenly realizes that Mahmoud was not the intuitive man Peter thought he was. Peter then becomes involved with Mahmoud and his gang as manipulative and corrupt terrorists planning to blow up the Quahog Bridge.
