David T

Inayat Bunglawala appears to have uncovered something about David T of Harry's Place infamy.

Why is he apparently allowed to post anonymously on the Guardian's website? When he got the blog space there, he suddenly acquired the surname Tate. Inayat claims that that really isn't his surname at all.

Which begs the question - what is Mr T/Tate/Taub (whatever his name is) trying to hide via his fake names?

On a cursory Google I've not managed to uncover too much. He was friends with Anjem Choudary at university, which would explain a lot about his views on Islam - he's more or less got the same ones except he doesn't believe in it. First time I came across him was after my article in the Guardian about democratic reform and economic advancement in the Muslim world which could lead to unification in the same way as Europe - and that it might be called a Caliphate. This for Taub was "clerical fascism".
