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

Muslim cleric suspected of inspiring Tunisia jihad massacre lives on UK dole

Jul 8, 2015 3:26 am By Robert Spencer

Hani al-Sibai2He “lives in a £1 million house leafy street in fashionable west London.” He receives “£50,000 a year in handouts,” and when asked how he could justify this, responded: “Ask David Cameron, don’t ask me.”

Indeed. The British people should ask David Cameron, right before they escort him out of #10 Downing Street and to the nearest courtroom to stand trial for grave dereliction of duty. But even that wouldn’t solve this problem, or others like it. The entire British political class, like its American counterpart, needs thorough housecleaning and reform. But that is not on the horizon in either country.

Britannic Death Watch Update: “Cleric said to be behind Tunisian beach massacre is living on benefits in Britain,” by Victoria Ward, Telegraph, July 6, 2015:

A leader of the terrorist group suspected of being behind the Tunisian beach massacre is living in benefits in Britain.

Hani al-Sibai, an al-Qaeda cleric suspected of radicalising “Jihadi John”, lives in a £1 million house leafy street in fashionable west London.

He is said to be one of the “key influencers” of the Islamic fanatics believed to have recruited and trained gunman Seifeddine Rezgui.

Egyptian-born al-Sibai, 54, reportedly lives on £50,000 a year in handouts, disability living allowance, with his wife and five children.

Asked how he could justify taking so much in benefits, al-Sibai, who is under investigation suspected of benefit fraud, told the Daily Mail: “Ask David Cameron, don’t ask me.”…

Al-Sibai is understood to have close links to Tunisian terror group Ansar al-Sharia, which authorities believe to have recruited and trained Rezgui.

He is cited at length in a 2013 report by the International Centre for Counter-Terrorism in The Hague, and is described as one of its “key influencers”.

Security services are understood to be investigating links between al-Sibai and his influence on the west London terror network in which Jihadi John – unmasked as Mohammed Emwazi – operated.

It is claimed that al-Sibai, a charismatic preacher, had “captivated” a number of young Muslim men who subsequently went abroad to fight jihad.

In a court case last year, he was accused of having “provided material support to al-Qaeda and conspired to commit terrorist acts”, an allegation he denies….

    Don’t be stupid, no surprise, commissions and royalties from supporters selling kafir women and children into slavery, especially the young boys, can be very profitable. He is just very entrepreneurial.

      So finally here we have the Moslem entrepreneurialism that Prez Barack Hussein extolled in his most famous apology speech in Cairo. It is good to see the Moslems rise above Inshallah torpidity and innovate. The world has got to shake and bake, got to keep things moving. It is no accident that Imam Hani al-Sibai is living in one of the nicest apartments in London. This guy rose up from the mean streets of Cairo to where he is today by sheer force of will and taking risks along the way. Hmm, I wonder if he was inspired by the words of our president. They say great minds think alike.

      About 2.7 million at last count Laura and millions more swarming towards Britain with each passing day. Calais is awash with Muslims trying to break into the UK every day.
      Not only do the Musrats get Free housing, FREE health care and bags full of FREE money, they get to gang rape little white girls, piss on War Memorials, burn poppies and openly declare that British laws don´t apply to them.
      Come on now Laura !!!!! Wouldn’t YOU want to live in Britain IF YOU WERE A MUSLIM ????????

        What, don’t they have sufficient funds to take the Chunnel? That is not good. The socialist gubmint of France should buy them tickets so they can migrate to their new home. Word has it that France is looking to offload Moslems now, about six million of them as a matter of fact.

          I believe you jest but as its said ” many a truth spoken in jest”

          The French ” hug a Muslim ” brigade have, on a number of occasions, recommended that the French Government give these ” refugees” French passports. This would enable all these Muslim ” refugees” to walk into Britain, giving the finger to British customs and immigration personnel, while on their way to the nearest benefits office to get their FREE bag of money.

    I note that this article appeared in The Telegraph, and I also note that that august British journal has disabled comments on the article.

    Interesting.

    • Foxy Loxy says

      Jul 8, 2015 at 5:25 am

      The Telegraph always disables comments on all articles relating to the Religion of Peace. The Telegraph long since ceased to be ‘august’ and seems to exclusively seek to employ its columnists and commentators from amongst those who are ardent supporters of the marxist cultural revolution, multiculturalism, mass immigration, dissolving of sovereign states, etc.

Even easier, get a halal butcher’s certificate and you are in!

    I smell a rat, a huge one. This is getting ridiculous now. Cameron and his cronies know this is going on, no one is that naive and stupid. We’re missing something here, something big. All this stuff is putting us off the scent of something, not sure what. Gives the papers something to print, gives the news channels some ‘outrageous’ stories to tell, keeps the people talking… There’s an elephant in the room people, and this isn’t it. Wish I knew what it was…

      Thats a possibility. Another one is that somewhere down the line, the handling of housing and social benefits given to “asylum seekers” goes through through the hands of devout British muslims, who wish nothing but the best for their “brothers” and “sisters”. Not as far-fetched as may appear at first glance – a couple of years ago, a devout muslim police officer leaked details of plans to arrest Anjem Choudary. He was part of London’s Counter Terrorism Command – verily a case of the fox guarding the hen-house.

      Yes, the “real problem” is something grander and more nefarious, some evil cabal of Western Fat Cats who are “really” pulling all the strings, while Muslims are just their puppets… Yes, that must be it… torino390 should then ask Spencer to change the blog name to “Dastardly Western Elites Watch” or something…

      toniro390’s speculation, flailing about in the Explanatory Vacuum that has not fully factored in the phenomenon of PC MC, thrashes about for some other explanation for the grievously frustrating problem of Western myopia to the problem of Islam, and, in the absence of a proper appreciation of phenomenon of PC MC, is seduced if not compelled to “go there” to a conspiracy theory…

      • torino390 says

        Jul 8, 2015 at 6:18 pm

        no, not a conspiracy theory as such, only the truth, that’s all I ask. no-one is denying Islam is a dangerous threat, deadly even, that much is obvious. but for my (UK) and other countries governments to apparently be doing nothing about the poisoning of their countries rings alarm bells with me. something isn’t adding up. anyone with an ounce of common sense and patriotism would be closing down mosques left right and centre, and deporting anyone who doesn’t accept the ways of their host country. but this isn’t what we see happening. there has to be a reason for this. an ulterior motive, a hidden agenda. there simply has to be. nobody but a traitor to his own country is this tolerant. something’s going on, I’m sure of it.

Seem he was at a faith outreach conference a while back and ran into Reverend Jeremiah Wright and Reverend Louis Farrakhan and heard what’s going on and it caught Al’s fancy. Best of all, if Al goes Moslem, he is in for life at his MSNBC show Talking Politics.

    This is why there are 3,000 illegal immigrants camping at Calais in France waiting for an opportunity to sneak into the UK, instead of trying their luck with France as a “refugee”. France pays a refugee a benefit per adult, but the UK pay per child as well. For a family with 5 or 6 kids, they can rake in a tidy sum thanks to the gullible UK government. These people milk every pound out of the system and have no intention of finding a job, why bother when they are on the pigs back?

    • Raja says

      Jul 8, 2015 at 12:23 pm

      Baucent,

      I think there is a huge difference being gullible and stupid or idiotic. Thanks to the PCMC culture average man on the street has become cuckoo, sissy etc and stupid. The commies have done a great job of making the society spineless, reckless, characterless, without identity. This is what you reap of PCMC cullure that becomes the bible for the stupid. Does any want to imitate the most most hopeless people on the face of the earth?

      I am not for Victorian virtues which never was Christ’s idea. Christians who are the salt of the world (always few) should be be allowed to ‘balance’/expose the evil /immorality of the world, especially societal and political.

    Britain is pathetic – hog-tied to the EU(SSR), which was founded as the EWG/EEC by fugitive nazis, enacting Hitler’s ‘plan B’ in the event that world domination failed – he wrote about it in the original ‘Mein Kampf’ – We must get out of the EU(SSR) as soon as possible but, as we have seen with Greece, puppet Fuehrerin Merkel in her Hitler jackets and trousers will not let them go free – just as she jerks on Camoron’s strings – duping him into thinking he will be able to renegotiate sensible membership terms – No chance! We spent £millions on the previous ones, Abu Qatada and Hamza (why we add ‘Abu’ defeats me – it is a muslim term to recognise seniority and respect – it means ‘Father’ – so drop the Abu bit world press – you just dignify criminals by using it). Camoron, May and the whole Westminster cabal, now heavily infected with 5th column muslim sleepers are so weak and effete – totally emasculated – sleepwalking us to annihilation and genocide of the British race – all they care about is forcing through the reviled invert so-called ‘marriage’ laws and many other laws preventing free speech and stopping us from defending ourselves and our culture and traditions and morals and beliefs – it is a shambles – incompetence on an unimaginably massive scale – peddling the ‘multi-culti’ myth and political correctness which, in 1945, the US President explained to General MacArthur was a deluded sect …”who think that it is possible to pick up a piece of shit by the clean end” (almost verbatim)

        A new poll shows that 56% of Britons view Islam as a threat to Western democracy.
        Are these people racists, or are they simply catching on to what Islam teaches (despite tireless efforts by politicians, educators, Muslim organizations, and the media to keep them in a state of perpetual ignorance)?

      Well, yes and no. If a few houses in a neighborhood are going up in flames due to a stealth cult of arsonists living amongst the people of the neighborhood, and the city council does nothing robust about the problem, and the fire department usually fails to put out the fires, we could say the “real problem” is the neighborhood’s representatives, not the stealth cult of arsonists. Why some people seem compelled to freeze up into an Either/Or, rather than a nuanced Both/And, is a mystery that baffles…

        I’m sure your solution would be having the city council deport everyone in the neighborhood. After all, they can’t tell the arsonists from the non-arsonists, so all of them got to go – anything less than that would be playing burning-roulette with the lives and property of non-arsonists.
