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

Jihad families used UK welfare benefits to fund flight to the Islamic State

Jun 21, 2015 4:47 pm By Robert Spencer

Islamic State familyWhy not? They consider themselves entitled to it. 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).

“Three sisters who fled to join Isis with their nine children ‘used benefits cash to fund their trip and are still being paid hundreds every month by taxpayers,'” by Sam Tonkin, Mailonline, June 21, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

The three Bradford sisters feared to have joined Islamic State in Syria are still able to claim hundreds of pounds in benefits from British taxpayers, it has been reported.

Khadija, 30, Zohra, 33, and 34-year-old Sugra Dawood – who along with their nine children are believed to be in the clutches of the terrorist group – are also said to have used Income Support and Child Tax Credits to fund their trip.

It is believed the sisters can still draw the cash from ATMs or get their ISIS handlers to travel into Turkey for it. The Government is now probing the claims.

The sisters and their nine children vanished after going on an Islamic pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia.

They were then traced to Istanbul – the typical route to Syria from the West – and are believed to have been escorted hundreds of miles to the Syrian border, before being split into two groups of six to cross.

Younger brother Ahmed, 21, who has been fighting for ISIS for a year or more, is thought to have persuaded Sugra to join him in Syria over Skype, saying the extremists stood for ‘what is right’.

Now it has emerged the women still get a total of £625.28 a month in child benefit payments, according to the Sun. Sugra, as a mother of five, gets £327.16, while Zohra and Khadija get £149.06 each for both having two children.

A community leader in Bradford, West Yorkshire, told Ben Griffiths at the Sun: ‘They’ve used taxpayers’ money to join these barbarians.

‘It should be cut off now. Let IS pay for them.’

A spokesman for the Department for Work and Pensions said benefits only ceased if there was firm evidence people were living abroad….

In other words, the gravy train will keep flowing.

    Chouderhead: “the normal situation is for you to take money from the Kuffar”
    That’s true. It is normal for Muslims. Islam is parasitic. Parasites are by definition 1: dependant on their host for their nutrition and 2: are harmful to the host.

      Perfectly phrased.
      The extent to which mohammedans, our main benefit claimants, use the UK for their own foul ends is illustrated by this –
      “It is estimated that 170,000 women and girls are living with Female Genital Mutilation in the UK, and it is estimated 65,000 girls aged 13 and under are at risk of Female Genital Mutilation in the UK.”
      This from the left/liberal “Independent” newspaper.
      The are above the law.

      Why do Europeans allow Muslim immigration when so many of them become dependent on Welfare? It makes as much sense as a large family adopting more children. We in the West are fools for taking in Muslim and poor immigrants. Allowing poor Muslims to immigrate into Western countries is just totally insane. They have nothing to offer but jihad, child marriage, polygamy, honor killings, rape of infidel women, and their barbaric sharia law.

        Our “masters” in government decide they want it to destroy the culture and sovereignty of the Western nations for their foul “New World Order”. We haven’t really had representational government for quite some time – especially countries living within the European Onion.

    An increased use of deportation must be put into the UK law so that these conspiratorial deadbeats can be expelled. At least, they should be paid to leave and never return.

    The big problem is what to do with enemy aliens while respecting human rights. They can’t be sent to other countries, because no one wants them. Why not send them to Chad, for instance, and pay the cash-starved Chad government to look after the jihad families?

    • gungadin says

      Jun 22, 2015 at 11:15 am

      FIrst thought was, “why do you hate Chad so much?”

      However, Israel seems to have come to agreement with certain African nations which are willing to accept the ‘infiltrators’ (as Israel calls illegal immigrants) in exchange for certain kinds of aid.

      It might work.

    That’s what happens when your holy book has a chapter on “War Booty”…….
    Islam began as a band of thieves. Mohammed raided Jewish trading caravans.

    • Shane says

      Jun 22, 2015 at 9:43 am

      True, Robert Spencer describes that in his great book, “The Truth About Muhammad.’ Muhammad was a Warlord, not a prophet.

    Jun 21, 2015 at 9:13 pm

    There must be “firm evidence people were living abroad” before their welfare benefits are cut off. Certainly, the Syrian government won’t have anything to show for that, and I’m not aware of a British consulate in the Islamic State. The fact that nobody answers the door doesn’t mean that they are abroad.
    Hmmm. Maybe I could emigrate to Britain, get welfare, and then come back under a different identity once direct deposit was set up. Very tempting…

    Anybody who has read Mark Steyn’s “America Alone,” and has been watching the British death wish of taking muslim vermin into their bosom, over the course many years, should not be surprised.

    Britain, like the United States, needs to deport all muslims immediately.

    There is no other way.

    You all know I’m right.

    Until more people realize the intrinsic evil of islam, the caliphate will continue to grow.

    Salaam all,

    If I had to imagine what Jesus would have looked like , all those many years ago … I imagine that he would looked like the the younger brother Ahmed….so please Christians ..give this man and his sister’s families a break..they are closer to you than you can imagine.

    More Later …

    • cheekturner says

      Jun 22, 2015 at 6:42 am

      So you think Jesus was fat and ugly? Well maybe so but there is a radical difference…Jesus, being God, was also human and neither attribute fits with the younger brother. As for giving them a break I agree totally.. a permanent break away from Britain and preferably in janna to enjoy their raisins. You might like to join them?
      More sooner…

      Nah. Your ‘prophet’, old paedophile mo, probably looked like Ahmed. Just a bit more dribble and snot, especially ‘under the nose and above the mouth’.

      More later, chumbawumba !

      @ Rezalli Mehil
      I’ll tell you what JESUS looks like. He looks (and he is) exactly like the Son of GOD whom you reject.
      Don’t worry though, when you die you will get to meet him and allowed to keep that lasting memory after you are rejected and sent to eternity in hell with your Allah and Mohammed

      Isn’t Ahmed ethnically Pakistani? Wasn’t Jesus Middle-Eastern?

      Who cares about appearances. It’s the heart that matters and I quite assure you there is zero similarity between Ahmed and Jesus in that department.

    If Jesus Christ was around today He would tell muslims everywhere to knock it off because they are all worshiping Satan.

    Jesus would kick Pope Francis’ sorry ass out of the Vatican, for stupidly kissing muslim ass (his pro-palestinian stance), … (not to mention his moronic climate change crap) …

    Christ would then tell the Cardinals Club to try it again, and this time no morons who don’t “get” islam.

    Francis is a Catholic embarrassment, just like our muslim turd in chief, obama, is an American embarrassment.

    So that’s my Catholic point of view.

    That’s the big dark secret … allah is Satan, and any muslim on planet earth could come down with “sudden jihad syndrome.”

    photograph 070125010606. It calls Obama “Barry Soetro,” a combination of his nickname and the family name of his Indonesian step-father, Lolo Soetoro. The document records Barry Soetro’s religion as Islam and his nationality as Indonesian.
