Is there no end to this man's gall? He has [1] called for jihad in Britain, and now he wants to dhimmis to give him more money. Well, that is what they're for, after all. From [2] AFP, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:

LONDON : Radical Muslim cleric Abu Hamza al-Masri, who is in a British jail on incitement to murder charges, is to sue welfare officials for thousands of pounds (dollars) in extra state benefits, a newspaper said.

Hamza, who is due in court next month on incitement to murder charges, claims he has been denied benefits worth 200 pounds (290 euros, 389 dollars) a week for nearly three years, The Sun newspaper said.

His family are already taking in benefits worth over 1,000 pounds a week, it said.

Meanwhile, he is kept at the taxpayers' expense in jail, has his own personal nurse and even received a new hook worth 5,000 pounds, which is in place of his missing hand, it said.

A jail source was quoted as saying: "He has a cheek."

Ah, the British. Still masters of understatement.
