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

UK: Islamic State woman receives $163,868 in legal aid

Nov 29, 2016 8:37 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

A Burton mum who became the first woman from the UK to be jailed for joining ISIS, received more than £132,000 to pay for her defence while facing the charges in court back in January.

Add on just a few others out of the countless:

Muslim migrant with four wives and 23 children claimed $389,000 a year in benefits in Germany, while it was reported two years ago that “immigration from outside Europe over the Labour government years cost the public purse billions of pounds, while recent migration from inside Europe generated a £4 billion surplus.” Costs are much higher now, given the surge of Muslim refugees into Western countries.

In Sweden, “perhaps the most acute case, immigrants are estimated at 1.5 million out of 10 million people; immigration is estimated to cost almost $14 billion per year.” Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt admitted: “It will cost you money, we will not be able to afford much else, but it’s really people fleeing for their lives.” Tell that to Swedish children in food lines! Meanwhile,”US taxpayers will hand over around $20,000 to settle each ‘refugee’ and ‘asylum seeker’ coming to America in terms of the Obama Middle East refugee policy.”

All the while, complaints ring out about lack of adequate accommodations for Muslim refugees, while these refugees are at risk for radicalization.

“ISIS woman from Burton given £132,000 in legal aid”, by AMusgrove, Burton Mail, November 28, 2016:

A Burton mum who became the first woman from the UK to be jailed for joining ISIS, received more than £132,000 to pay for her defence while facing the charges in court back in January.

Tareena Shakil fled to Syria in October 2014 to join the terrorist organisation before being arrested on her return. She was then charged and later found guilty of joining IS and encouraging acts of terror after a trial that gained global attention.

Figures obtained by the Mail show that the 26-year-old received £132,703 to pay for her solicitor and barrister through the tax-payer funded Legal Aid system which gives financial support to those who cannot afford to be represented in court.

A total of £72,875 was paid to her solicitor, £53,918 to her barrister and there was £5,909 to cover disbursements.

Burton MP Andrew Griffiths, while accepting the importance of the Legal Aid system in the UK, told the Mail that people would be ‘understandably upset’ at the costs.

He said: “People will understandably be upset at the cost of the legal defence team, but it is an important part of our justice system that defendants get access to legal representation.

“There is nothing more important than keeping the nation safe from threats of terrorism. Preventing young people from being radicalised and from going to places like Syria and then potentially returning to the UK after being filled with hate is something that we must guard against.

“This only shows the importance of ensuring British born young people are not fundamentalised here in Britain and much more needs to be done to prevent that happening.”

Shakil who attended de Ferrers Academy in the town and worked at Morrisons supermarket, is currently serving a six-year-sentence; four years for joining IS and two years for inciting acts of terror.

Sentencing her back in February, Mr Justice Inman told the court that Shakil showed ‘no remorse’ for her actions.

The court had heard how Shakil spent a student loan on plane tickets to Turkey flying out from East Midlands Airport – she then crossed the border into Syria. Once there she used social media to show her life in Syria, telling family members that it was part of her faith to kill the murtadeen (apostates) and that she wanted to die a martyr.

However after just a few months Shakil decided to leave Syria. She handed herself into to Turkish border patrols after a bus and taxi journey from the city of Raqqa.

Shakil admitted she had travelled to Syria but denied joining ISIS…..

    Sounds like a textbook case of treason…

      Sadly Blair removed the UK Treason laws. Can’t think why. Even if this muslima was to be put on that charge, how much more taxpayers’ money would be wasted on her? We’ve also got to realise that all the muslim paedophile grooming gangs that have been caught so far up and down the country have been coming to court, and there are dozens/hundreds of them. And the cost of supporting their thousands if not millions of victims? Plus all the terrorist suspects? Are we to assume that each individual involved is costing around £132,000 as well? That would easily push the costs into the hundreds of millions. And that’s not including the extra millions spent on national security before they’re actually caught. And let’s not forget all the crime that succeeds because manpower has had to be diverted to dealing with the muslims – that’s got a cost as well.Then there is the matter of their prison costs, the same per prisoner as sending a child to Eton College – and there are thousands of muslim prisoners in UK jails (round about five times the number there should be). So what’s the overall cost there? And we should add the costs for their special treatment and restitution for the damage they cause as a result iof their appalling behaviour.

      And that lot is only the criminals. What’s the cost of the 50% of muslim males and 75% of muslim females who are unemployed and claiming beneifits (way above the national average!)? Plus their housing allowances (big houses for their bloated families, and also considering the extra costs of all the separate accommodation for the muslim ‘single mothers’ in illegal polygamous arrangements). And they won’t be paying for their medical costs either, which would incude all the excessive ante-natal, maternity and post-natal costs due to their excessive birth rates. Plus, I have been told that UK statistsics show that 30% of all birth defects in the UK are accounted for by Pakistani muslim families (around 3% of the UK population). With all the backup support, what is THAT costing?

      We must be looking at £billions here, just in the UK. Add to that the rest of Europe. And North America? and Australia? And anywhere else where this contamination has spread? Islam and its adherents have just got to be the most expensive social plague in history.

    “A Burton mum who became the first woman from the UK to be jailed for joining ISIS, received more than £132,000 to pay for her defence while facing the charges in court back in January.”

    I wonder what aid the British soldiers and Royal Marines receive? They face charges all the time for engaging the Jihadist enemy a bit too aggressively.

    The BBC News this morning ran a piece about how thousands of children were playing truant or had failed to show up for school. I didn’t pay a lot of attention to this, it seemed a fairly unintersting piece, apparently i n England about 4,00 children were missing from their schools, until one of the presenters who was rambling on about missing education and the authorities’ fear that they were missing out, etc. and then mentioned almost casually that there was a fear they were possibly going abroad to live or being subject to FGM.
    Then it all clicked into place. Of course, forced marriages, FGM, no more education, must be Muslims, only the BBC carefully never mentioned the M word.
    It seems we have an establishment sanctioned fifth column in our midst and we are not allowed to discuss or even know about it.

      I saw that programme & reacted just as you have.
      Not once was the M word used, even though every crime
      alleged is typical of mohammedans.
      4,000 missing children (many of whom may have been murdered),
      & yet no national outcry.
      Just what is happening to our country ?
      Were the Crusades all in vain ?

    Correction 4,000 children not four hundred. Its probably more, did we but know it.

    There is no more the Great Briton any more, Great Briton was when I was in the Royal Air Force. I served in the R.A.F. abroad for a period of 14 years. When I was discharged I put an application to Home office to become British subject , the answer was no. How came I was serving 14 years in the British Air Force and I was reject . See what is happen in England today they brought all their enemies to their country, the British have to pay for their stupidity mistakes. “There was a Chinaman see today how many” if you know what I mean.

    She is a terrorist and traitor who should have had her passport cancelled and been refused reentry OR allowed reentry and immediately jailed as an enemy combatant and POW!!

    And to the guy with 4 wives and 23 kids who the government is paying near half a million PER YEAR to: congratulations on winning the “It’s-Not-My-Money-Merkel-Liberal-Lottery!!” ……………………f#ck.
