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

Denmark paid unemployment benefits to 28 Muslims waging jihad for Islamic State

British jihadist Anjem Choudary said in February 2013:

“We are on Jihad Seekers Allowance, We take the Jizya (protection money paid to Muslims by non-Muslims) which is ours anyway. The normal situation is to take money from the Kafir (non-Muslim), isn’t it? So this is normal situation. They give us the money. You work, give us the money. Allah Akbar, we take the money. Hopefully there is no one from the DSS (Department of Social Security) listening. Ah, but you see people will say you are not working. But the normal situation is for you to take money from the Kuffar (non-Muslim) So we take Jihad Seeker’s Allowance.”

“Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued” (Qur’an 9:29).

“Danes fighting for Isis in Syria on welfare benefits,” The Local, November 27, 2014:

More than two dozen jihadists have collected unemployment benefits while fighting in Syria alongside terror organization Isis, the domestic intelligence agency PET revealed.

Denmark paid unemployment benefits to 28 people while they were waging war for the Isis terrorist group in Syria, the Danish intelligence service was quoted as saying on Thursday.

Out of the 28 Danish people identified by the Danish Security and Intelligence Service (PET) as having received benefits, 15 had been ordered to pay the money back, eight people were still being investigated, and five cases had been dropped due to insufficient evidence, tabloid BT reported.

“It is incredibly important that we are not naive,” Justice Minister Mette Frederiksen told the daily when asked about the data, which was found by merging records kept by different authorities.

Denmark has one of the world’s most generous unemployment insurance systems, with those on the dagpenge scheme receiving up to 801 kroner per day (108 euros, $134) for up to two years.

However, some of the jihadists were on the significantly more modest basic unemployment benefit known as kontanthjælp.

Denmark has the second largest number of foreign fighters in Syria relative to its size among Western nations, after Belgium, according to some estimates.

The Danish intelligence service has said “more than 100” Danes have left the country for Syria’s bloody civil war, but a Danish commentator on Middle Eastern affairs, Naser Khader, said he believed the estimate – from June – was higher and needed to be revised upwards.

“The figure is rising in many other countries, so why should that not be the case in Denmark?” he told the Berlingske newspaper.

Germany’s intelligence agency said last week it believes 550 Germans have joined extremist groups in Syria and Iraq. Authorities had previously estimated the number at 450. Britain believes around 500 of its citizens are fighting for Isis.

    Enough ! The Gates of Vienna is upon us again!

    • Charlie Griffith says

      Nov 29, 2014 at 1:45 pm

      Enough!, indeed – Think.

      We [i.e any Western-minded readers here] need to wake up and accept the ugly fact of Life that we simply cannot judge Muslims and use Western mindsets when attempting to judge any acts by Muslims; and, using Western language vocabulary and conventional wisdom terms/concepts based upon our Judeo/Christian mindsets.

      Simply stop it, it’s literally killing us.

      Example [nr. 954,879, and counting] is the [to a Muslim or a convert] the crass rationalization used here in this article to justify receiving these unemployment benefits. Muslims consider that their just due. They can do that with a straight face.

      As far as “The Gates Of Vienna” are concerned, we must face the inconvenient Truth that we are indeed in a Muslim declared state of War with these Muslims. They keep reminding us of this politically inconvenient fact on a daily basis.

      And yet, we hear whines and shrieks about us Americans using Drones against moving targets such as vehicles carrying suspect passengers ……conveniently forgetting Coventry, London and Dresden. Hiroshima, Nagasaki.

      It’s literally insane.

        P.S.

        Yes, it’s occurred to me now in 2014 that too many people have no idea what the mentioning the above cities actually means as a bit of perspective.

        They’ve probably never heard of them, couldn’t find them on a map.

        That’s another subject.

          You got that right! The Saracens were finally turned away on the outskirts of Vienna – due to the heavy rain wetting their black powder for their canon and bogging down their rab horses in the mud – so those arrogant Austrian & Prussian Armies could kick saracen asses outta there! There were reasons to keep saracens out of one’s country – and we are RELEARNING this as we speak. Our WESTERN LEADERS have learned nothing in 1,400 years of mohammdan oppression. If they treat their own moham women like this – think of what they’ll do to US!

I have seen some sick, dumb people in my life but this takes the cake ggggggeeeeeeesssss

    Forget all the Theological or pseudo-theological musings. This thoroughly unprincipled, amoral, deluded and pretentious piece of scum is talking the language of the dishonest spiv, the common fraudster, the petty thief, the low-life criminal. So he’ll be credit to the ‘Prophet’ he follows, that arch-dishonest spiv, fraudster, thief and murdering gangster of all time. One thing I cannot understand, as a ‘normal’ and I hope fairly moral and honest human being, is how Choudhary can unashamedly broadcast these disgusting ‘pearls of wisdom’ that seem to come from the mouth of the blatantly despicable ‘baddie’ from some third-rate gangster ‘B’ movie AND keep a straight face. Not to mention apparently revelling in the knowledge that this confirms him in the eyes of the public over here as probably the most repulsive person in the uK.

      Nov 28, 2014 at 12:56 pm

      How can Choudhary can unashamedly broadcast these disgusting ‘pearls of wisdom’ and keep a straight face?
      Very simple answer:

      The Islamic ‘Profession of Hate’ tells Muslims that they are extra special from day one and every time a Muslim puts on a (hey! look at me, I am so very special) prayer display
      It is common knowledge that Muslims are taught to memorize their Qur’an verses and rehearse its supremacist lies but never to actually question or examine them.

      If the Qur’an were to say that women were superior to men and that other religions were equal then Muslim men would be a bit more discerning. But of course Muhammad’s fiction is full of made to order revelations and immature teen-age minded sex fantasies.

        So we’re saying that (going back in time) it’s just like having representatives of the Nazi party being allowed/encouraged to strut around and shoot their mouths off in public, behave as they please, and set up branches in 1930’s Europe – or the USA, Canada, Australia, in fact, anywhere! Where would we be today if THAT had happened?

    In reference to:
    “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued” (Qur’an 9:29).
    ————————————————-

    Why does this chapter not begin with talk of the kindly ‘Compassionate and Merciful Allah’?
    It appears that Muslims do have some shame after all.
    The writers of the Koran realized the incongruity was way too obvious for plausibility

    However, Muslims are still puzzled about this?
    Here are their clever excuses:

    Jizya? Booty from the disbelievers? Extortion? A misunderstanding of a noble religion? What are the facts?

    The jihadist-preacher Anwar Awlaki said in a sermon,

    “Leave the farming to the people of the book; you go and spread the religion of Allah; they will farm and they will feed you; they will pay Jizya; they will pay Kharaaj, because (the Prophet) said,“My rizq (sustenance) comes beneath the shadow of my spear.” So if the rizq of (the Prophet) was through Ghaneema (plunder) it must be the best rizq and better than farming, business, shepherding and better than anything else because (the Prophet) said: “My rizq (sustenance) comes beneath the shadow of my spear … The Islamic state is unique in history; it is the only state that did not tax its population. Why did it not tax its population? It had income that came from Jizyah, Kharaaj, Ghaneema, and Fay’. All of these are income that comes from Jihad; so the government does not have to tax the population anymore.”

    In other words, a jihadist is a violent thief, an extortionist and a plunderer…booty is a ‘blessing’ from the god who is the ‘BEST OF DECEIVERS’ (khair makerin). Disbelievers can work; Muslims will steal the fruits of their labor.

      In other words, they’re just a load of toxic parasites? So how exactly is THAT supposed to benefit Humanity? Or anything else in God’s creations? Are they actually bothered about Humanity or the rest of God’s creation. What exactly ARE they bothered about? And how does one normally deal with toxic parasites?

    Well then,…the leaders of Denmark have blood and untold suffering upon their heads and hands.

    I wonder how much money they received for the cost of their souls (and restful sleep at night).

      “Well then,…the leaders of Denmark have blood and untold suffering upon their heads and hands.”

      Exactly. the same could be said of every PC government in the West. Our PC elites are TRAITORS, we must remove them from power, bring then to justice and, if proven guilt of high treason, EXECUTED.
      I know I’m repeating myself but ONLY the people can reverse this shameful and suicidal situation.
      Again, they’ve successfuly done it in Egypt, WHY CAN’T WE?

    These Muslim vermin behave the way they do because they are allowed to, by the governments of the various countries that they are infesting.
    Muslims know that they can strut about the streets preaching hate and violence against non- Muslims, wave banners advocating murder and the police will look the other way.

      Nov 28, 2014 at 4:56 pm

      And that would be OK if they stayed in their own backward countries. But when they bring the religion of filth & Jihad to civilized countries, it is a big problem.

      Well said, and of course applies to all resident practicing Muslims, paper brandishing “citizens” or not, in all of our Western countries.

      Here in America we have our freedoms being cited and used against us by the likes of the American Civil Liberties Union and the Council [or Committee] of American-Islamic Relations. They’re the ACLU and the Hamas-affiliated C.A.I.R. so often in the news. We call it the “grievance industry”.

    A force de céder peu à peu sur les exigences des musulmans , les nations européennes nous enterrent de plus en plus et nous livrent à ces sectaires incultes et barbares dont nous ne pourrons jamais nous débarrasser. Nous les subissons chaque jour : leur laideur, leur odeur, leur agressivité, leur intolérance, leurs revendications, leurs provocations…… Nous voyons chaque jour nos libertés, nos lois, nos valeurs, notre culture et nos symboles républicains bafoués et diminués par leurs actions car nos dirigeants se soumettent complètement à leur volonté. C’est une trahison totale envers nos nations, c’est un mépris évident à l’encontre de nos populations. Et le pire de la situation est que nous n’avons pas le droit de nous rebeller, de parler : le dialogue nous est interdit. Nous devons juste SUBIR. Et c’est INTOLERABLE !
    Parfois, je rêve que tous les peuples européens se dressent et amènent tous nos dirigeants devant la Cour des Droits de l’Homme pour NON ASSISTANCE A PEUPLES EN DANGER et TRAHISON/FORFAITURE envers les nations civilisées. Que peut-on faire ? Nous ne pourrons jamais vivre dans un monde islamiste, avec des brutes incultes et perverses.
