Paris and Brussels jihad killers got $56,000 in welfare while planning attacks

Aug 5, 2016 12:03 pm By Robert Spencer

This is what a society committing suicide looks like: Paris jihad mass murderer Salah Abdeslam was on welfare until three weeks before his jihad, and collected €19,000, even though he was manager and part-owner of a bar, which should have made him ineligible.

But as far as Abdeslam was his fellow jihadis were concerned, it was their due, since the Qur’an mandates that non-Muslims must pay for the upkeep of Muslims: “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, of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued” (Qur’an 9:29).

“Terrorist Suspects in Europe Got Welfare Benefits While Plotting Attacks,” by Mark Maremont and Valentina Pop, Wall Street Journal, August 4, 2016:

Belgian financial investigators looking into recent terror plots have discovered a disturbing trend: Some of the suspects were collecting welfare benefits until shortly before they carried out their attacks.

At least five of the alleged plotters in the Paris and Brussels terror attacks partly financed themselves with payments from Belgium’s generous social-welfare system, authorities have concluded. In total they received more than €50,000, or about $56,000 at today’s rate.

The main surviving Paris suspect, Salah Abdeslam, collected unemployment benefits until three weeks before the November attacks—€19,000 in all, according to people familiar with the case. At the time, he was manager and part-owner of a bar, which Belgian officials say should have made him ineligible.

Many of the participants in a disrupted Belgian terror plot also had been on the dole, according to the judge who sentenced more than a dozen people in the so-called Verviers cell last month. Police thwarted the plot early last year, finding explosives, weapons and police uniforms after a shootout that killed two people.

The revelations raise a difficult conundrum for Europe….

It’s not really difficult. Here’s the solution: stop doing this.

    The historic street market in Lille has been cancelled due to security fears. The French surrender at the drop of a hat.

      It’s happening all over Europe. RAF Waddington in England has permanently cancelled their annual airshow over security fears.
      The big litmus test will be Oktoberfest in Germany.

        Yes that’s big, I know somebody who will be there too. Imagine if the Muslims stage a big attack on Oktoberfest this year (quite likely), the outrage will be off the chart.

        • gravenimage says

          Muslims have already demanded that Oktoberfest be shut down for “offending” them.

      The French surrendered years ago. What we see now is merely the overt result of a long-standing and largely invisible policy – the EuroArab Dialogue.

        King Tut no one here supports your MUSLIM views of genocide against Jews.

          who opened up the American borders in 1965 to 3rd world countries, bringing muslims here?
          who funds and supports this invasion?
          who manipulates public opinion, putting the masses to sleep, keeping them ignorant?

          so go back to accusing me of being a muzzie, and being utterly clueless on what is going on in the world. you’re just mad I am seeing the bigger picture, and sheep like you refuse to, threatening those that speak the truth to be locked up behind bars, you crypto-commie.

        More genocidal Jew hatred from the increasingly unhinged “King Tut”. Most of those responsible for immigration policy in the US and Europe over the decades have, of course, been Gentiles.

        But no matter–he appears to be under the impression that Lyndon Johnson was Jewish. I’m sure that would have been a surprise to Lady Bird…

          Jews weren’t just behind the 1965 immigration policy, that completely re-shaped America, furthering their agenda of White Genocide, but here you go… straight from the horses mouth

          More from “King Tut”:

          Jews weren’t just behind the 1965 immigration policy, that completely re-shaped America, furthering their agenda of White Genocide…
          ………………………………

          Given that there are now over 220 million white people in the United States–many, many, more than there were in 1965–I’d say their program of “White Genocide” is going very, very badly…sarc/off

          Jews, on the other hand, make up just 1.4% of the population here.

          Really, “King Tut” sounds like a Muslim. They think that every time their suicide belts fail to detonate that it is the fault of the Joooooooos.

        I watched your posted video. I hate to tell ya this buddy, but King Tut was black. And the minority races in America are AMERICANS whether you like it or not. You are simply a scared white guy who has bought into the politically correct propaganda that being white is shameful, so you need to combat against that propaganda. Well, you don’t have to.

        The biggest problem Americans face today is Islam, not our fellow Americans. No other religion wants the destruction of the West, except Islam. And in case you didn’t notice, the woman in the video is white. Go see a doctor. There is medication for afflicted racists like you.

          linnte, thanks for proving to me you’re a complete moron who don’t know real history. Egyptians were not black, neither were they white but more resembled Caucasians. Egyptians looked at African Negros (Nubians) as enemies, which could be seen in their paintings. go back to learning from afrocentric morons like yourself. I have nothing else to say to you.

    Detectives are not taught the complete jihad doctrine along with the books and pamphlets and sermons the jihadis are reading in secret. They cannot understand and FIND the jihadists if they don’t know what they’re looking for!

    Political correctness is a way of telling people not to see what they see. Political correctness is costing lives through unprepared, barely informed detectives.

    Robert Spencer and other jihad experts should be training detectives to see jihad.

      Thank you, &Yes, Political Correctness is costing Lives & destroying the American way of life. Neighbors are afraid to say anything to other neighbors, in fear, of offending. No one dares say anything to anyone. We Americans look like the throngs of people in the old USSR, who never, ever acknowledged anyone or thing. Fear ruled their lives, & now White Christians are living in fear in the Obamanation.

      The left are the puppet masters. This isn’t all by accident or stupidity on their behalf. This is perfectly planned. Labour party members have even admitted this. Even EU heads have gone on public record stating their master plan which is the destruction of borders, nationalism, popularism, libertarianism and the controlled death of cultural identity, history and local folklore.

      We are told that the munich killer wasnt mad yet why did Merkel hold an emergency security meeting? Yesterday a somalian “mad man” went on the London rampage, yet again we were told it was mental illness yet Mayor Khan today held an emergency security meeting.

      We know whats going on, the media knows and western governments know. Its early days but looking more likely civil wars in Europe in the near future or western governments going full on totalitarian or we slow boil as frogs into this brave new world of soft totalitarianism and political correctness.

    Before those brutal murderous Islamic terror attacks in Paris, France, on November 13, 2015 and then that Nice, France jihad murdering jihad attack on July 14, 2016 in an ISIS audio recording broadcasted on September 2014 declared “If you can kill a disbelieving American or European especially the spiteful and filthy French …kill him in any manner or way however it may be.” [1] This alone exposes the vicious and malicious way of thinking of the jihadist who composes ISIS. The result of this wicked mindset where those heinously malice – filled jihad mindset was carried out by those by those Islamic jihadist deadly attacks in Paris and Nice. Furthermore the jihadists of ISIS sure have some gall calling the French “spiteful” since it’s the jihadist ISIS thugs who are so very spiteful that they murder people in many extremely cruel ways. Likewise, the ISIS savages have some gall calling the French “filthy” Since it’s the ISIS jihadist villains who the ones who are so lawless and vile that the kidnap and rape both girls and women.

    This article, from 2013, demonstrates the longevity of ‘pre-paid’ jihadism and the cynicism with which kufar coffers are drained.

    Canada has a Child Tax Credit, so refugees with 4-5 young children get about $30,000 annualy for just sitting on their ass without ever working or looking for work. Gives them plenty of time to make more kids, pray 6 times a day and contemplate jihad. Add to that free housing and you have a pretty comfortable life. All this largess comes from my tax dollars and Trudeau’s idea that deficits are actually good for the economy.
