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

Vast majority of Muslims entering Europe from Africa not refugees, but migrants seeking welfare benefits

Nov 26, 2016 12:03 pm By Robert Spencer

In Islamic law, non-Muslims have the duty to provide for the upkeep of Muslims. 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.”

This is, of course, based on the Qur’an: “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).

“UN Migration Chiefs: The Mediterranean Is ‘Cluttered with Sunk Rubber Dinghies,’” by Thomas D. Williams, Breitbart, November 26, 2016 (thanks to Inexion):

According to a new post by the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR), the Mediterranean Sea is one of the world’s most dangerous migration routes and is “cluttered with sunk rubber dinghies.”…

Earlier this month, German Interior Minister Thomas de Maizière proposed returning seafaring African migrants home rather than bringing them to Italy, in order to discourage more people from attempting the dangerous crossing. The European Union has been accused of effectively offering African migrants a free “taxi service” to Italian shores.De Maizière said that those “saved in the Mediterranean should be sent back to Africa” instead of taking them to Europe, in order to remove incentives for migrants while also weakening the exploitive human traffickers who organize the crossings.

“Eliminating the prospect of reaching Europe could keep them from risking their lives in a dangerous journey,” he said.

While some criticized de Maizière’s plan on the grounds that it unfairly denies asylum to refugees, others were quick to point out that the vast majority of African migrants entering Europe are not refugees at all but economic migrants trying to take advantage of Europe’s generous social welfare benefits.

Most of the African migrants coming to Italy are not refugees escaping from war or even poor people fleeing hunger, but young, middle-class males, according to Professor Anna Bono of the University of Turin, an expert in African migration.

Bono also said that human traffickers in sub-Saharan Africa are actively promoting emigration to Italy through extensive ad campaigns.

“In the countries of sub-Saharan Africa there are advertisements inciting people to go to Italy, explaining that everything here is free,” she said.

According to the IOM, the top eight countries of origin for migrants arriving in Europe in 2016 are all from the African continent rather than the war-torn Middle East. In order, they are Nigeria, Eritrea, Sudan, Gambia, Ivory Coast, Guinea, Somalia, and Mali.

A disturbing new report released earlier this week revealed that the rate of criminality among legal immigrants in Italy is almost double the crime rate among Italian citizens (8.5 criminals per 1000 vs. 4.3 criminals per 1000).

More alarming still, among illegal immigrants the crime rate soars to more than 50 percent (148 criminals out of every 247 persons).

    I never received any benefits. And will never understand paying it to someone, except just for food and some clothes.
    If Europe loves scattering money – it’s her problem.

      Europe does not love scattering money. It is Europe’s left wing politicians who love scattering money – because it’s not their money, it’s our money. They haven’t earned it, they take it off us and we can’t even afford to feed, clothe and house our veterans from the Services.

      We have 8,000 ex servicemen sleeping rough in Great Britain while the government lavishes our money (an incredible 12 billion a year) on foreign aid to African countries and help to “migrants”.

      Nothing will change until the present crop of politicians are voted out and we vote in people who know how to look after their own.

        Anne, you are in the same situation as the USA.. We have thousands of wounded vets who need housing and medical care.. Obama makes it impossible for these good people to get help. Yet, he tells us there we MUST take “refugees” in. NO, we got our Trump on!! Now, get your Trump on or prepare to move here…

    Eurabia-
    Islam is an enemy of individuality.
    The EU is a breeding ground for Islam.
    Ok, there is strength in unity.
    There is that old saying that it is harder to break a bundle of sticks than to break one, but you set fire to one stick the rest burn.
    There’s strength in unity, but you’ve grown up now, and the Islamic weeds have grown too.
    Some say individuality is an enemy of universality.
    But our Cosmic Mother Earth is full of variety, and individuality.
    Time for a change.
    Time to leave the temple grasshoppers.
    “Let the winds of heaven blow between you”
    as a union there is only one of you.
    “when two or more are gathered” but not in different names.
    One and one is eleven but only if of the same mind, religion or cult.
    The union contains an entity that’s anti-union, cos it’s against Christians, Hindus, Jews, the lot.
    So become a gathering of warriors for freedom truth beauty and the dignity of man, and women

    “Vast majority of Muslims entering Europe from Africa not refugees, but migrants seeking welfare benefits”

    My goodness, what a surprise, We never suspected that before, did we? (Quote from a clearly fit and healthy young male arab/african migrant in northern France, reported in the UK press about 5+ years ago….”I’m going to England. They will look after me properly there”. So that’s why I pay my UK taxes! To ‘look after these people properly’!)

    When you have to go to the Mosque 5 times a day you need to find some sucker who will give you an easy life and allow you to do it- even if you hate their guts! Who are the idiots here? These idle fucks want an easy life paid for by the ‘ kuffar’ Are we stupid or what? When I think my father died at 60 and didn’t claim a penny from the state, but these savages are able to usurp the system and take the Micheal! When are our politicians going to grow balls and deal with this situation in which benefits are funnelled to ISIS – you couldn’t make this stuff up. If this were a book, it wouldn’t sell because the plot is too fantastic- when the social security system was set up, I wonder if the Welsh Wizard ever envisaged a man with 4 wives and God knows how many children claiming in excess of £380,000 a year??? – I doubt it!! fact is stranger than fiction!

    Earlier this month, German Interior Minister Thomas de Maizière proposed returning seafaring African migrants home rather than bringing them to Italy, in order to discourage more people from attempting the dangerous crossing.

    This measure is being proposed only after two years since the date it should have been put into practice. We have a saying in my country: the best date to plant a tree is 40 years ago, the next best date is today.

    You work, give us the money. Obama Akbar, we take the money.

    Fight those who believe not in Karl Saint Marx nor his messenger Hillary , nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Bill and His messenger Hillary, nor acknowledge the religion of Political Correctness, even if they are deplorable, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued”

    (This works, way too easy.)

    One would that a basic economic idea like incentive based actions would have long ago permeated into the brains of European leaders and bureaucrats.

    Rescuing people on flimsy rafts and dilapidated boats and giving them free rides to Europe and access to European social service benefits which allow them to live better than they are accustomed to living in their own counties and, surprise, you get a lot more people setting out on flimsy rafts and dilapidated boats.

    Remove the economic incentive by returning them to their point of origin and denying them access to Europe and you get less people setting out on rafts and unseaworthy boats. Totally predictable conclusion but one that seems to have beyon the grasp of European leaders and civil servants.

    I quite appreciate old Anjem, because he actually tells it like it is in islam. All people have to do is listen and realise that it’s a system of treason, a theocratic ideology, not a religion.

    If only they would listen to him!

    It seems that 90% of muslims are dishonest liars waiting to behead anyone, is that true?

    • Guest says

      Nov 27, 2016 at 4:20 pm

      Not as simple as that: I’m sure most would not personally do that bloody task. However, would 90% fail to report jihad activity, keep supporting jihidis, marry jihadis, put up with jihadi preaching in the mosque etc? Perhaps.
