Australia has recently moved to stop this from happening again — which is more than other Western governments have done. Meanwhile, it is ironic that Khaled Sharrouf was disabled in Australia but able-bodied enough to wage jihad in Syria, but it is no surprise. In the jihadis’ view, it is the duty of the kuffar to pay money to the Muslims, as the Qur’an stipulates that they must “pay the jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued” (9:29). So their going on the dole was just a way of getting what they believed to be what was rightfully theirs: the fruit of the labor of the Infidels.
“Terrorist Khaled Sharrouf went to jihad on welfare,” The Australian, July 12, 2014:
ONE of Australia’s most-wanted terrorists and a suspected war criminal, Khaled Sharrouf continued to receive a taxpayer-funded disability pension months after arriving on the battlefields of Syria.
The Weekend Australian understands Sharrouf, who fled Australia for Syria using his brother’s passport, continued to receive his disability support pension at least until February, about two months after he left Australia bound for Syria.
