Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Australia to cut welfare payments to Muslims waging jihad in Iraq and Syria

Jul 4, 2014 6:15 am By Robert Spencer

al-qaeda-terror-network-members-in-syriaThis is good. Now why let them back into the country at all? Meanwhile, the fact that they were on the dole but able-bodied enough to go wage jihad halfway around the world shows their contempt for the Australian Infidels: 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.

“Govt to cut jihadists’ social security,” 9News, July 4, 2014 (thanks to Halal Pork Shop):

Australian jihadists fighting in Iraq and Syria are to have their dole payments cut.

The federal government estimates about 60 of them, mostly young radicalised Muslim men, are fighting in the two conflicts.

Legislation implementing a range of measures against returning jihadists will be introduced to parliament the week after next.

Australia didn’t want them back, Attorney-General George Brandis said on Friday.

And the government certainly wouldn’t be paying welfare benefits to people who had left Australia to fight in the conflicts.

The Crimes (Foreign Incursions and Recruitment) Act 1978 carries a maximum 25-year jail term and the government wants to make it easier to prove someone has participated in a foreign conflict.

Under proposed changes, Foreign Minister Julie Bishop will be able to certify a particular region or conflict under the foreign incursions legislation.

“There can be a presumption that they were there for no-good purpose,” Senator Brandis told Macquarie Radio.

Security laws will be changed to give Australia’s domestic spy agency better access to computer systems.

Laws now require ASIO to seek a warrant for a particular computer, which doesn’t allow access to others on the same network.

Access to networked systems will be the subject of a single warrant.

That will “immensely” enhance ASIO’s capacity to engage in electronic surveillance, Senator Brandis said.

    I wonder if that will last. I can imagine the outcry and it’ll be considered a violation of their “human rights”.

    Mohammed set the example when he attacked trading caravans and stole the kuffar property. Mohammed was a gangster who simply recruited henchmen to steal from non-henchmen. When you “submit” to Allah you are simply submitting to Mohammed.

    Next, cut foreign financial aid (Islamic state welfare payments) to Islamic states.

    Righto, my fellow Aussie posters and lurkers.

    Let’s get behind this and PUSH.

    Observe – “Australia didn’t want them back, Attorney-General George Brandis said on Friday.”

    YUP.

    You got it, mate. You’ll be getting a short note from me, tomorrow, urging that the Precautionary Principle be applied.

    To wit: let ’em go but once you’re sure they’ve gone and have a pretty good idea *where* they’ve gone…DON’T let ’em back in. No matter what. If we have to make laws especially to cover this case, then we better make those laws, fast.

    I might pass on to Mr Brandis some of Mr Geert Wilders’ excellent ideas, for his further consideration.

      Please do. I have done this myself, not only to him but Tony Abbot and Bill Shorten.

    I believe that in the US, an American fighting in a foreign army forfeits citizenship too- but maybe that law has changed as its deemed ‘Islamaphoic’

      By now it surely has, Richie. The jihadis will all be given parades upon returning and taxpayers will fund them. It’s the 4th of July, 2014 and our borders have been overrun at the bequest of our Imperial Overlord. He loves it when a plan comes together.

    Cut their passports and citizenship as well, rendering them stateless.

    Australia has turned away many people arriving on boats who seek asylum and have sent them back to their Indonesian smugglers. These Muslim people rarely assimilate into Australian culture and force Australians to follow their archaic laws. How many public pools in Australia have women only times because men and women can not swim together?

    The “dole” is not paid to anyone who leaves the country anyway. So what is this about? Only pensions are still paid to people who go overseas, and only for three months before cut-off, as I recall. Are we to believe then that all these young men are on “pensions”, which are for retired people, single parents and disabled people? In that case, which group would they beong to? Oh, of course, they would all be “disabled”. wouldn’t they?

    • DisgustedAussie says

      these payments they are referring to are the Disability Support Pension they receive due to the fact they are so “depressed” they are unable to work. It is a joke they are allowed to be paid by Centrelink at all, the disability pension is for those individuals that are unable to work due to true disabilities. I suffer from depression but I would not class that as a reason to not work, my degenerative disc disease and fibromyalgia on the other hand are reasons why I am physically unable to work anymore. I would love to be able to work and support my family and not have to live with the little money I get.
      What happened to only allowing skilled workers to immigrate here? The only skill these people have is mouthing off at non-muslims about how shit we are and how shit our country is. Kick them out and never let them back in.

    They shouldn’t be allowed back in Australia.

  14. Daphne Donges says

    The reason why many of these young men coming back from Syria are allowed back into our country is because they are the second or even third generation Australians, born in Oz.
    People come from war torn countries looking for a place of peace. They are Muslims but just wanted to raise their families in peace, however, when these families grown up and read the qu’ran with all it’s hate filled verses they become ‘radicalised’ under the influence of imans that preach hate for the ‘kuffir’. So they join jihadis and return with the intention to turn Australia Sharia.

  15. Lion Rampant says

    Exactly right. Islamists proven to be in regions designated jihadi war zones
    automatically lose their right of citizenship to our countries. Make them remain in the deserts of their own making.
    Come to think of it , let’s give the wankers who let them in, a one way ticket there as well. I am sure they have a lot of catching up to do.
    p.s. I hear a static line parachute is a safe mode of conveyance.

    The people running Australia are as ignorant and the pro-muslim kafirs in charge of our U.S. government.

    How can anyone prove what they were doing overseas?! Any way if a country is nominated as a no go zone they will simply get in from a neighbouring country and no one will be the wiser.
