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

France cut welfare benefits for 290 jihadists last year

Mar 19, 2015 2:42 pm By Robert Spencer

French Interior Minister Cazeneuve speaks at the Ministerial meeting on Foreign Fighters during the White House Summit on Countering Violent Extremism at the State Department in WashingtonCommon sense. “France cut welfare benefits for 290 jihadists last year,” France 24, March 18, 2015:

France’s interior minister on Tuesday said that the government cut welfare benefits last year for 290 persons identified as jihadists.

Bernard Cazeneuve told French lawmakers that the interior ministry had identified close to 300 individuals who had left France to wage jihad in Iraq or Syria, sharing their names with social welfare agencies.

The minister said that thanks to the government’s platform allowing people to report suspected cases of Islamic radicalisation “instances in which persons have travelled outside the national territory are immediately indicated to officials in charge of disbursing social benefits”.

Cazeneuve was answering a question from an opposition lawmaker who expressed concern over French citizens collecting welfare checks while fighting alongside Islamic extremist groups in the Middle East.

“These loopholes … are not numerous,” Cazeneuve said.

“We shouldn’t make a controversy of this subject or allow people to think no action has been taken. We’re taking this seriously and will continue to do so,” the minister added….

    Cut? Why not stop, and revoke citizenship?

      That’s what should be done but at least the benefits cut is a start

        Good start. What about the family’s welfare payments? That would help teach parents to pay attention to their children’s friends, schools, mosques & imams.

    Are they gonna cut the mujahidin’s dole in half, or force the dude to get a job and support himself altogether? This raises fairness as an issue. Jihad work is hard work, with lots of lifting and carrying involved. After exhausting himself capturing a thousand women for sale into sex slavery, or shooting into a town to take it over, or loading shells into U.S. Army canons to fire at Iraqi or Syrian troops… a mujahidin has got to be beat, even ones from France. The U.N. should weigh in on this move by the French gubmint, right after it issues its finding on the United States gubmint’s proposed nuke treaty with Persia.

    Not only should the welfare benefits of Jihadists be cut, ALL MUSLIMS should actually be made to pay a special tax (a Muslim tax) …. same as they would impose on others who are forced to live under the laws of their religion. NO Muslim should be given any kind of welfare. They do not believe in giving assistance to “infidels” so they should be made to abide by a rule similar to the one made part of their religion. Don’t give them money; TAX them for the privilege of the freedoms being offered to them. If they want to leave their religion to avoid the tax, all the better. This is what they believe as being just. Let them live or die by a rule similar to the one they would impose upon others. It’s only fair.

      “Don’t give them money; TAX them for the privilege of the freedoms being offered to them.”

      Good point!

    The infidel government cuts the Jizya payments to their mujahideen. How dare they? Doesn’t the French government realize these noble and pious individuals are morally superior to non-Muslim welfare recipients? Why are these brave warriors being discriminated against? This can only be Islamophobia! Countdown has started for the first Islamo-apologist organization (does CAIR have a French chapter?) to claim victim-hood and reparations for these peaceful Sharia promoters. /sarc off

    There are how many muslims in Europe, 52 million?

    • Alarmed Pig Farmer says

      Mar 19, 2015 at 10:16 pm

      Is it that many? That’s not only bad news for civilizational history, it puts great additional strain on the political economic systems of the Christian Democrats, who are better called the Secular Dhimmicrats.

      Come to think of it, collapsing birth rates and collapsing socialist economies is part of the sweep of history, too.

    If you are healthy enough for jihad, you are healthy enough to work…So why benefits when every western nation needs janitors…Instead of welfare payments, it is a paycheck for janitorial excellence. It may be that janitorial is the most degrading work known to mankind, according to Principal Skinner, but anyone can learn to do it. Brown spot removal is a needed skill that requires an army of janitors to keep up with. So Marie Harf is right, don’t give them a welfare check for doing nothing, give them a job in janitorial..

      I worked as a janitor when I was first at university. Not work I would particularly relish doing again, but good honest labor. Not something most Mohmmedans would understand…

      Hey, if you’re a guy who dreams of world takeover and having four wives, washing down latrines sullied by Infidels is a squalid proposition. Unicorns are hard working ethical people, yes, but they’re not committed to anything that hard. It’s disrespectful.

      • Alarmed Pig Farmer says

        Mar 20, 2015 at 6:29 am

        Yeah, for us Infidels here in the West that’s called welfare fraud. But, come to think of it, Western democracies themselves a form of fraud, anyway. Just ask the documented serial liar Barack Hussein Obama, who started his public lying long before he even announced for the Senate.

    If it hasn’t happened yet, I bet this will…. Moozies returning from performing their jihadist duties in Syria will apply for disability benefits due to PTSD and/or other battle-related injuries.

    • Judi says

      Mar 19, 2015 at 8:13 pm

      Jameson,- yes, you are probably right in your prediction and the West will comply, as usual. Won’t be long until our A&E departments are full of them, and they’ll be handing out wheelchairs and artificial limbs galore, on top of disability pensions

    Muslim men who follow the slave trade religion are very possessive and have always insisted on taking what does not belong to them in order to covet it all for themselves.

    For example Muslims view God of which they call Allah as their exclusive property.
    Every Muslim man also considers his wives as property.
    But what about his children you ask?
    Yes, once again merely property.

    A modicum of sanity. Glad to see it.

    These traitors have no place in a democratic, free country. They belong on a Devil’s Island for life. It they don’t wish that, let them not return.

    France, like most Western governments, will do nothing to these vicious murderers.

    You forgot Sex 666, for Muslim men. How to enjoy limitless sex in this life and after martyrdom!

    Let me guess.. They all just happened to be Muslim? What a shocker..
    But, how did this news report not say anything about this fact? Another shocker that I am not surpried about!

    I think that Cazeneuve doesn’t miss an opportunity to suck up to muslims when yet another mosque, funded by autochton taxpayer money, is inaugurated.
