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

UK jihadists funded by welfare benefits

Nov 27, 2014 7:35 pm By Robert Spencer

nawaz_brothers_3119068bThese jihadis no doubt consider these welfare benefits to be their due, in lieu of the jizya that the Qur’an says that Muslims should collect from subjugated non-Muslim People of the Book (9:29). In Islamic law, it is the place of non-Muslims to turn over their funds to the Muslims.

“Jihadists funded by welfare benefits, senior police officer warns,” by Peter Dominiczak, Tom Whitehead and Christopher Hope, the Telegraph, November 26, 2014:

Britain’s benefits system is being abused to fund terrorism, a senior police officer has warned.

Terri Nicholson, from the Metropolitan Police’s counter-terrorism command unit, said that taxpayers’ money was being claimed fraudulently and used by terrorists in countries such as Iraq and Syria.

She said there had been “a number of cases” recently of terrorists making fraudulent student loan claims to fund their activities.

MPs described the prospect of British money being used to bankroll potential terrorist plots on British soil as “sickening”. Keith Vaz, chairman of the Commons home affairs committee, said he would in the coming weeks question Theresa May, the Home Secretary, over the “shocking” disclosures.

Two brothers became the first Britons to be jailed for Syria-related terrorism offences, having gone to a training camp in the country.

Another jihadist, who skipped bail to fight in Syria, used Twitter to mock the lapse in security that allowed him to flee.

Meanwhile, the family of Fusilier Lee Rigby claimed Facebook failed in its “duty of care” when it missed messages in which one of his murderers discussed killing a soldier. Facebook was accused in a report of being a “safe haven for terrorism” after it failed to pass on information that could have prevented the killing of Fusilier Rigby in Woolwich, south-east London, last year.

Miss Nicholson, a Met Assistant Commander, said terrorists were using “innovative” techniques to send money abroad. “We are seeing a diverse fraud, including substantial fraud online, abuse of the benefits system, abuse of student loans, in order to fund terrorism,” she said….

    It seems that Western liberal democracies are constantly being made fools of by these savages. Can we control this situation in the context of our legal traditions, or do we have to take the gloves off? I say, let’s take the gloves off before we go down for the count.

      Indeed, the muslim moochers and free-loaders are laughing at the British.

    The “if only we were nicer to Muslims” meme once again hits a speed bump on the road of reality.

    Robert, you are right!

    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.”

    The jihadist, in other words, is a thief, an extortionist and a plunderer.

      Mortimer, all of which tells us that Western world ‘leaders’ and the media are stupid, cowardly, and though educated, politically correct liberal simpletons who rationalize pretty anything when it involves these mindless Muslim savages.

      It is evident that liberalism, like Islam, produces a form of mental illness in which lies abound and rationality is in low to zero evidence. Just watching America, through the foggy and spineless thinking of John Kerry and his rotten boss Obama, speaks volumes about stupidity, cowardice and lack of moral fibre. Deadlines mean nothing. Their ‘line in the sand’ is just hot air and by now the Muslim enemy knows it full well and gleefully laughs about their inevitable capitulation. Kerry and Obama are looking evil in the face, like Neville Chamberlain did with Adolf Hitler, yet they think they can get a wise and honourable outcome. Totally lacking in moral impulse, they have not got a clue. These fools will leave Israel to fight the battles of this cowardly, sickly, and treacherous Obama administration. The United States is in dire need of a coup d’etat to save it from this president, but today probably can’t even find a military man with the courage to carry it out. The failure of courage and lack of true love of country is stark. The Obama enemy is within and has allowed the savages through the gates as was the case when in 1453 Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Muslims. Americans talk about a need for dramatic change, but it seems that there is no one to lead dramatic action for change.

        We’re on the same page Rob. One situation our founding fathers never planed for was how to deal with a rouge president. Impeachment? Not a chance with virtually all of the mass media, entertainment industry and academia completely under the control of the loony left. We’ve already seen two trial balloons floated that should terrify every sane American. First was using the fairness doctrine to shut down Fox and talk radio. It didn’t fly but perhaps Obama might be tempted to try an executive order this time. Absurd you say? More frightening still was that suggestion by an FCC functionary that maybe we need a Govt agent in every newsroom and broadcast studio to ensure that stories are – you know – fair. Given that this man is stepping aside so Iran can go nuclear and totally shredding our constitution we may have to think the unthinkable as you suggested. Barak Hussein Obama, our first Muslim president is that dangerous.

    Parasites. That’s what they are. Islam has never produced anything. It has been specially designed to live on others’ productions. Islam is a mafia organization masquerading as a religion. Islam MUST be removed from the West and from planet earth.

    Muhammad himself chose robbery as his chief source of income.

    “He (Muhammad) summoned the Muslims and said, “This is the Quraysh caravan containing their property. Go out to attack it, perhaps God will give it as a prey.” ”

        You muslima, you cant handle the truth. You are the one who is cursed. The wrath of God the Almighty Jehovah is upon you because you trust a mere man muhamad and your moon god allah.

      • Salah says

        Nov 28, 2014 at 3:05 pm

        @Aashiq Hussain kuchay,

        You wrote:
        ” u lier pagan mad be ready for pain ful death.”

        I would rather die for telling the truth than for telling a bunch of stupid lies.
        Oh, by the way, didn’t Muhammad die exactly this same way? remember the poison he ate at Khaybar?

        “The apostle of Allah lived after this three years till in consequence of his pain he passed away.”

        The Major Classes, by Ibn Sa’d, v. 2, p. 202 الطبقات الكبرى لإبن سعد

        Then, you wrote:
        “Allahs curse be on u”

        Aren’t you just repeating what your prophet used to say?

        “When the last moment of the prophet was near, he used to draw a sheet over his face; but when he felt uneasy, he removed it from his face and said: “Allah’s damnation be on the Jews and the Christians who made the graves of their prophets objects of worship.” ”

        The Major Classes, by Ibn Sa’d, v. 2, p. 240 الطبقات الكبرى لإبن سعد

        Keep your head down, Aashiq Hussain kuchay, you’re following a liar.

      Congrats Salah you got your first death threat, I’m proud of you. I hope you have proper I.T security though for your own safety. They don’t mind killing Coptic Christians in your home country, so there is no telling what they will try doing to you.

      • Darren says

        Nov 28, 2014 at 1:37 pm

        Be ready for painful death, that could be interrupted as a death threat against Salah. I know English is more likely not this pedophile prophet worshiper’s first language but it does indeed sound like a death threat to me.

        • Salah says

          Nov 28, 2014 at 3:11 pm

          He’s just a coward. Besides, I’m well equipped!
          Thanks Darren.

    From the scumbag, bottom feeding, inbred dog-men pictured above, sucking the blood of the hard working taxpayers of Britain, all the way back to the monsters who conquered Egypt for Islam and then stripped the pyramids of the white stone casings to create mosques in tribute to the moon god b’Allah — they are all the same. They are dog shit to be scraped off the shoes of any civilized country. And this must happen now. RIGHT NOW. And it must be done completely. Colonizers must be deported IMMEDIATELY. Born in the “new colony” must be relocated to an appropriate New Devils’ Island if they will not emigrate. Those who run to join the Islamic Caliphate must be blocked from ever returning. These are the hard methods which must be employed, as Islam is not a religion. Not as we know it. Not at all. It is a philosophy for advancing evil in this world. It must be ruthlessly stamped out in the modern, civilized world and, in those countries where it is too late, it must be contained and understood as the mental virus that it is.

    Norway loses $713,000 on every Muslim immigrant
    http://www.frontpagemag.com/2013/dgreenfield/norway-loses-713000-on-every-muslim-immigrant/

    • Rob Porter says

      Nov 28, 2014 at 8:23 am

      Well, Norway is just stupid, isn’t it? And it’s citizens are just stupid for allowing the taxes they pay to be misused in this manner to fund Muslim destroyers who produce pretty much nothing of worth and rape their women and girls. Without morals deeply ingrained evidently there is no moral outrage against barbaric behaviour.

  7. Michael Copeland says

    A “diverse” fraud.
    Presumably also vibrant, exciting, and inclusive.

  8. Steffen Larsen says

    In Denmark it’s much the same: the fighting is funded by state benefits.

    According to The Danish Security and Intelligence Service 28 warriors have returned from fighting for the IS while they were collecting unemployment benefits.
    16 have been killed so far.

    Nov 28, 2014 at 6:06 am

    I am definitely sure I can detect an air of “good intentions” about this pair. I am going to pen a letter to old Baghadi to see if I can pay my jizya direct, I might be able to claim tax relief on it.

    • Darren says

      Nov 28, 2014 at 1:39 pm

      Even in islam you still can’t seem to escape the tax man, I guess that saying about two certainties in life is true death and taxes, though I’d like to modify that saying and add three certainties in life death taxes, and muslims slaughtering innocent people.

    OK so Muslims are social parasites, liars, extortionists, thieves, murderers. Why doesn’t the UK do the right thing and deport their Muslims back to Arabia?
