The jihad against the West: funded with Danish taxpayer money! “Danish jihadists cashed in on welfare benefits,” The Local, May 18, 2015:
Thirty-two Danes have collected nearly 400,000 kroner worth of unemployment benefits while fighting in Syria, it was revealed on Monday.
According to an Employment Ministry document obtained by Radio24syv, the Danish Security and Intelligence Service (PET) told the Danish Agency for Labour Market and Recruitment (STAR) that there have been 32 instances of Danes receiving unemployment benefits from the state while waging jihad in Syria.
The payments to the 32 individuals amount to a total of 378,000 kroner ($58,000 or 51,000 euros).
“STAR has thus far received information pertaining to 32 people who, according to PET’s information, have gone abroad in relation to the conflict in Syria while at the same time receiving social benefits in the form of kontanthjælp and dagpenge [two types of unemployment benefits, ed.],” a document from STAR stated.
Denmark has one of the world’s most generous unemployment insurance systems, with those on the dagpenge scheme receiving up to 801 kroner ($122, 107 euros) per day for up to two years. Kontanthjælp is a significantly more modest benefit.
It is the duty of the municipalities and the private unemployment insurers known as A-kasser to require repayments of benefits given to individuals who are not available to the Danish labour market and to report suspicion of welfare fraud to the police. According to the obtained documents however just one of the 32 cases was reported.
Peter Skaarup of the Danish People’s Party said the revelations show just how “careless” Denmark has been with regards to jihadists.
“There has been a lot of talk about how serious it is, but when it comes to the practical consequences we can see that nobody does anything,” Skaarup told BT.
“I think that every single case should be turned over to the police immediately because you are not available to the job market when you are in the midst of Syria’s civil war and if we are to send a signal that we won’t accept these Syrian fighters going down there, we need to put more consequences in place,” he added.
PET first revealed in November that Danish jihadists were receiving unemployment benefits while fighting in Syria.

BBC blames Europe for not opening its doors wider to Muslim immigration and holds Europe responsible for immigrant Muslims drowning in the Mediterranean.
It doesn’t blame Muslim Libya though.
Yet it blames Myanmar for Indonesia and Malaysia refusing to accept fellow Muslims.

Brian says
Over 80% of 50 million Muslims in Europe live off welfare…free housing, education, medicine, weekly payments that equal a working person’s wage in most countries and they lap it all up….it is the kaffir/fuffar paying the jizya that Muslims see themselves as entitled to.
bobm says
I think the wiz pulling strings at BBC must be a muzz convert… and Scandinavia seems ape $hit suicidal .. lifting its collective as$ to a psychopathic cult.
Manuel Paleologus says
Nothing surprises me about Europe. That’s the reason the whole Europe is almost Islamized.
BBC is just another ideological tool of Islam in UK.
They hand them the sword to Muslims to cut their throats off.
Angemon says
I think I need to quit my job and move to Denmark… 😀
“Careless”? That’s an understatement…
God help us – we’re in the hands of politicians…
Huh, I think the best course of action would be to let wanna-be jihadis leave to SYria and make sure they can’t come back.
Jack Holan says
Confused? Not eligible and that’s why they should go to the Police? Has this entire World gone insane? These Jihadists by the very fact that they went to a war zone to kill someone, at the very least should be brought to the Federal authorities=FBi and stop payments. However these bureaucrats seem to be less than 100% on a course of action. I guess they will have to wait for more disasters to befall Denmark before they realize they are at War.
American says
Not that this is news to anyone, but the Danes don’t seem to grasp the concept. When these Danish Muslims leave to fight with IS, they are KILLING people. YOU are funding that activity. YOU are letting it happen. Now, when they come back to Denmark, those returning will be KILLERS. They should be punished. If you do nothing, they will KILL again, but this time in Denmark. Why is any country taking them back, why aren’t they being punished? The shouldn’t be permitted to re-enter the countries they left.
EYESOPEN says
So true…
Michael Copeland says
Islamic State has declared war on the West.
Its Caliph has instructed muslims to make their own attacks.
The West, though not recognising this “group” as a state, and not formally declaring war on it, is bombing it and conducting hostilities – acts of war.
Islamic State, recognised or not, is de facto at war with Europe.
Anyone going there to join it is joining with the enemy.
In old-fashioned terms that is treason.
Ekster says
The world has gone insane, this is utter madness. These Danish sub-humans should be given the death penalty, nothing less. But I must say, I am not surprised. When it comes to islamics, the west turns a blind eye over and over again. Everything goes to please the leeches, it’s utterly shameful and a disgrace to all decent folks.
Celtic says
Indeed. Our spineless politicians are more focused on making excuses for Islam and explaining how IS has nothing to do with Islam than to realize, that we are at war. They don’t understand Islam and are afraid to take action since they don’t want to be like the Nazis. However, there is a big difference between the jews in the middle of the 20st Century and the muslims nowadays: Islam causes bloodshedd on a daily base, all around the world, while the jews were simply attacked and blamed for the national crisis in Germany. We too should look at ourselves very seriously the next time we face a mirror – ciriticizing Islam is racist afterall – I mean there is nothing wrong with the religion of peace – is there?
Joseph says
It is not only the Danes it is happening right here in the U.S.A. too.
Avenger says
I agree Joseph. If the USA didn’t have a geographical hurdle ( Atlantic and Pacific oceans ) we’d be teaming with Muslims and taxpayers would be feeding and housing them just as the Europeans are doing now.
George W Bush loved Muslims even more than Illegal Mexicans, George and Family (House of Bush) have been economically tied to Saudi and Gulf State oil interest for decades. GW babbled endlessly about how great and peaceful the muslim religion is and even convinced most in the Republican Party to tow the same lie.
Both Obama and Bush will go down in history as this nations most heinous traitors.
Heather Koutny says
The Danes, Swedes and Norwegians have lost their sense of who they are. They are led by the nose. take no stand against anything, this is what happens to countries that follow the socialist model. They are worse than sheep.
The same is true for the rest of Europe and Britain. They no longer know or appreciate the freedom they have got. Maybe they have to lose it and fight to regain it before they appreciate it.
The Scots are no different, they think they have voted for freedom but the SNP is not nationalist but socialist, all they have done is vote for socialism not freedom.
Freedom is precious.
katnis says
In the United States, if you are not working, you may (and I said may) be eligible for unemployment benefits for six months. After six months, things can get very, very uncomfortable financially.
That said, I think the muslims are onto something. I’d love to go to lovely Denmark and get unemployment benefits. Does Denmark offer the same benefits to american immigrants? I promise to assimilate and respect your culture. I’d make a great immigrant. 🙂
Barb says
Back in the 50’s my father in law jumped ship (a merchant ship) here in the US. even though most of his sisters and brothers were here legally, when the gov’t found him, they shipped him back to Italy. In the 60’s he came over legally and became a citizen. You had to have someone sponsor you (i.e. take care of you so the gov’t would not have to support you which they would not do anyway) but now it seems…that rule has gone the way of the dodo bird. Too bad.
Stephen Cakouros says
The Danish are not cowardly so this ridiculous permissiveness is the result of liberalism, which commentator Michael Savage has called a mental disorder. I think the Scandinavians suffer from this mental disorder more than any other people. I call it political Pelagianism.
KMack says
Same in Britain and most of the EU. One wonders how much the British tax payer is contributing to an invading fifth column. Charles Martel (Battle of Tours 732AD) will be turning in his grave.
gts58 says
Denmark sealed its fate many years ago when it permitted the immigration of these 7th century barbarians into their country. Since then, they have raped their women, robbed their elderly and destroyed their country.
Loretta Pienaar says
And!!!! how many billions do you think the EU sucks out of Britain????
isabel says
COMPLETE IDIOTS
Mickster says
Something rotten in Denmark
Christian A. Beltram says
When these jihadists return to Denmark, they will wage jihad there too. That will be a perfect example of the dog biting the hand that feeds it. There truly is something rotten in the state of Denmark.
Sam says
The willing ignorance of Islamic culture in Europe is a disease like drug addiction. The addict knows that it is not good to inject drugs to his system but he does it anyway because it makes him feel good for a while although things get worse and worse and worse. Same with liberalism in Europe they sense that there is something wrong with Islam but keep on enabling them because they feel better because they prove that they are fair and they are not racist. So be it.
In summary, in my opinion, Europe is a lost cause. Let’s save America.
Niels says
As a Dane, I can tell you that this doesn’t work if you are not a jihadist. . . I have known several people who have been unfortunate to be in the danish unemployment system, and if you are just an average Dane, your benefits will be canceled immediately if you don’t play by the rules.
I have even heard of several cases where people.. again average danish people, left the country and were instantly reported to the police AND had all benefits canceled + were fined . . .
But it’s no surprise that this is not the case with Muslims going to jihad. . . God forbid the authorities should do anything racist to these poor people. t this kind of reasoning seems to more or less overrule common sense in lots of cases.
Westman says
Niels,
Thanks for the Danish perspective.
Vox populi says
58 K? This sounds just the classic “tip of the iceberg”, to me … how many more are using taxpayers money in EU and UK, and US, to get ready to bite the hand that feeded them?
gravenimage says
Denmark gave 32 jihadis in the Islamic State $58,000 in welfare payments
…………………….
As appalling as this is, I doubt very much it is unique. I’m sure there are Jihadis all over the Western world who are still collecting their welfare payments while off waging violent Jihad. Many of them, most likely, are having relatives cash the payments. In many cases, they will not be detected at all.
Here’s a similar story from Australia:
“Revealed: Australian jihadist received welfare payments MONTHS after he had fled the country to join extremists in the Middle East”
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2689045/Convicted-terrorist-received-welfare-months-fleeing-country.html
Then they’ll come back to the West, and use those handy dole payments to live on while plotting violent Jihad against us…
pongidae rex says
The suicide of the West is unstoppable, just as it was unstoppable in August 1914.. Islam is simply the jackel at the feast.
