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

600 UK Muslims waging jihad for Islamic State, only 25 have bank accounts frozen

Mar 14, 2015 7:27 pm By Robert Spencer

David AndersonWhy would shattered, staggering, Dhimmi Britannia freeze more of these jihadis’ bank accounts? What if they need money while they’re waging jihad in the Islamic State? It would be “Islamophobic” to deny them.

“Only 25 British terror suspects have had their bank accounts frozen despite more than 600 UK jihadists travelling to fight for ISIS, report reveals,” by Khaleda Rahman, MailOnline, March 14, 2015:

Despite more than 600 British jihadists having fled for Syria and Iraq, only 25 terror suspects are currently subject to asset-freezing orders.

In total, just £61,000 in 59 bank accounts belonging to suspected terrorists has been blocked by the Treasury, a report has found.

The report, by the independent reviewer of terror legislation David Anderson QC, showed another 28 people have had their bank accounts in the country frozen under European orders.

It showed there were eight new Treasury designations in the year to September 2014 under the Terrorist Asset-Freezing Act 2010 – a sharp decline from 162 in 2008.

Mr Anderson concluded the figures for assets frozen were ‘remarkably low….

No kidding, really?

    Are you telling us that there are laws demanding the assets be frozen but they are not being applied?

    ” What if they need money while they’re waging jihad in the Islamic State?”

    Why would they need money? Isn’t the UK forwarding their monthly relief checks per usual? Refusing to do so would, of course, be islamaphobic.

      ” Isn’t the UK forwarding their monthly relief checks per usual?”

      I think you’re on the right track, Jackson, but a bit turned around.

      The 25 frozen accounts were taken by Muslims who did NOT receive public welfare funds.

      The remainder were receiving benefits. It would interfere with the functioning of the welfare bureaucracy to freeze a bank account receiving an automatic deposit from a public agency, so those accounts were not frozen. This is only a speculation on my part, but something needs to explain the fact that as many as 25 accounts were frozen by the frozen public servants.

    So, only 25 of their bank accounts have been frozen. That’ll serve
    as a massive deterrent to other aspiring Jihadists, that’ll show ’em!
    I was no fan of Mrs Thatcher, but she would never have tolerated
    any of this. Our leadership is weak, disinterested, corrupt, dhimmified
    and ultimately complicit. Whatever prick from the three main political
    parties comes to power in May, I doubt it’ll make any difference to an
    impending civil war that has been predicted on this site in the past.

      So, basically, the British taxpayer is funding the British jihadis. Ludicrous!

        Well, it’s all society’s fault after all – or so the loony left would
        have us believe. Yes, that’s right, the natural aversion that normal
        people have to insatiable Muhammadan blood lust, aggression,
        deceit, self-pity and constantly contrived grievance mongering is
        ‘racist’ and has driven these poor ‘victims’ to want to seek a perverse
        thrill through raping, beheading, crucifying and burning people alive,
        and God knows what else. Meanwhile, the fact that our supposedly
        naive ‘leaders’ are allowing for the deliberate Islamisation of our
        country is in no way connected to the endless supply of Saudi and
        Qatari money they receive. Not at all.

    Some form of exile for jihadists needs to be implemented. Jihadists need to be segregated probably for life.

    • Paul says

      Mar 15, 2015 at 8:51 am

      They should be segregated from their oxygen supply.

    “only 25 terror suspects are currently subject to asset-freezing orders”

    Don´t make me laugh !!!!! The only ” assets” most of these Muslim filth have, come in the form of the British taxpayer funded benefit cheques.

    British pensioners starve ( literally ) while these Muslim filth are raking in FREE money in the form of housing allowance, job seekers allowance ( LOL ) child allowance etc, etc etc

    “British Teenage Boys Aiming to Join ISIS Detained in Turkey

    • Paul says

      Mar 15, 2015 at 1:27 pm

      The Islamic State is doing Turkey’s dirty work for it. Erdogan wants
      the removal of national borders in what was formerly the Ottoman
      Empire. Turkey will step in at some stage and the empire will be back.
      The Ottoman empire is the seventh “beast” kingdom of Revelation that
      was “wounded by the sword” (World War 1, in this case), but which revives
      itself. The Antichrist will be the leader of this new Caliphate led from
      Turkey. We are told that Pergamus (in Turkey) is the seat of Satan.
      Some may laugh at the idea of this – that’s their opinion –
      but they won’t be laughing as this rapidly becomes a reality, which I
      believe it will.
