=== False allegations of Islamic extremism ===

In January 2019, the paper published an article written by [[Camilla Tominey]] titled "Police called in after Scout group run from mosque is linked to Islamic extremist and Holocaust denier"<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/01/18/police-called-scout-group-run-mosque-linked-islamic-extremist/|title=Police called in after Scout group run from mosque is linked to Islamic extremist and Holocaust denier|newspaper=The Telegraph|date=19 January 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190119100131/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/01/18/police-called-scout-group-run-mosque-linked-islamic-extremist/|access-date=8 April 2020|url-status=dead|archive-date=19 January 2019}}</ref> in which it was reported that the police were investigating Ahammed Hussain, the Leader of the Scout Group at the Lewisham Islamic Centre, because he had links to extremist Muslim groups that promoted terrorism and antisemitism.

In January 2020, the paper issued an official apology and accepted that the article contained many falsehoods, and that Hussain had never supported or promoted terrorism, or been antisemitic. The paper paid Hussain damages and costs.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/01/28/apology-mr-ahammed-hussain/|title=An apology – Mr Ahammed Hussain|newspaper=The Telegraph|date=28 January 2020|access-date=8 April 2020|via=www.telegraph.co.uk|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200301095145/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/01/28/apology-mr-ahammed-hussain/|archive-date=1 March 2020|url-status=live}}</ref> In a letter sent to Hussain's lawyers accompanying the text of their published apology, the newspaper's lawyers wrote: "The article was published by our client following receipt of information in good faith from the Scout Association and the [[Henry Jackson Society]]; nevertheless our client now accepts that the article (using that expression to refer to both print and online versions) is defamatory of your client and will apologise to him for publishing it."<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.rllaw.co.uk/apologies-as-published/|title=Apologies as Published - Rahman Lowe|date=29 March 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200329101227/http://www.rllaw.co.uk/apologies-as-published/|archive-date=29 March 2020}}</ref>
