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

Netherlands: Muslims claim taxpayer funds to attend Qur’an lessons already offered for free

Dec 14, 2016 8:13 am 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).

“Muslims ‘claim TAXPAYERS’ CASH to attend Koran lessons already offered to them for FREE,'” Express, December 12, 2016:

MUSLIMS have been claiming taxpayers’ money to attend religious lessons which are being offered for free by their local mosques, according to reports.

The initiative was supposed to give access to education to poorer elements of society in Holland, but a loophole meant that religious education could also be claimed and it appears that almost €300,000 EUR (£251,000) of city funds for combating poverty was handed out classes such as ones for studying the Koran.

The city authorities of Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, have confirmed they have launched an investigation over the sum that was paid from the poverty budget and which has been invoiced for religious lessons.

According to local media, the bulk of the money was claimed by people who wanted to study the Koran, although the precise details are still unclear.

And the city council appeared oblivious to the problem until they read about it in the local media.

The alderman responsible for poverty, Arjan Vliegenthart, launched the investigation after a national daily published a report from a whistleblower.

The anonymous whistleblower stated that a big portion of the poverty budget ended up for religious classes at the city’s mosques.

Amsterdam’s authorities allegedly failed to check if the children also received any religious education, or if it might have happened in mosques that are known for radical Islam.

The city authorities did confirm that 2,500 citizens who use money from the city’s poverty budget had declared €285,000 EUR (£240,000) for religious classes so far.

The religious classes were followed in mosques or in private institutions.

The regulation is part of a pupil’s reimbursement programme of the city’s anti-poverty budget, in which people can declare classes, books, and even sports and dancing lessons.

Mr Vliegenthart now wants to find out what happened to the money, as initial research has shown that most mosques either gave Quran lessons for free or for only €5 (£4) per month….

    the UK and its citizens are like a giant fat juicy caterpillar on whom a parasitic wasp has laid its eggs and now the eggs have hatched and it is doomed to be eaten alive from the inside by its parasites which grow and prosper by causing the destruction of its host
    islam is that parasitic wasp and the UK’s muslim inhabitants are the parasites

      this also is valid for Holland and all of Western democratic societies

      Striking metaphor! js.

      Any suggestions how the caterpillar should protect and defend itself?

        get rid of the parasitic wasp that keeps attacking and killing it!

        the UK govt and people must fight back against islam by openly declaring the truth about pedophile muhammad and evil islam and its Satanic god allah

          That’s quite a demand on a caterpillar! – if that doesn’t stretch the simile?
          I’d wish the caterpillar could teach the wasp how to metamorphose into a butterfly.

      A gruesome image John, and alas, partially true. Not **wholly** true, though; there are still many, many of us prepared to fight.

      John, that is quite a disturbing image.

      Of course, a few of those caterpillars can actually *fight back*…

    Why would a secular state pay for religious education? In the schools I attended, both as a student and teacher, there were religious classes for those who wanted to, and they were taught by friars, nuns, etc., who came from their religious institutions – they were not employed or paid by the school.

      Because if we oppose they kill us.

    I get this Muslim Scheme, we are to pay Jizya, WILLINGLY, to keep our Heads on our shoulders. If this is left up to dhimmitized Mayors & City Councilmen & women, we are sunk.
    These two Greedy Groups of GOV Profiteers are as useless as
    Teats on a Hog.
    We will have to save our skins, ourselves. No other alternative.

    Never tire of this entertaining picture!

    BTW I would bet good money that not one of the three fanatics (likely Pakistanis or Afghans) can actually READ classical Arabic.

    Gosh, I read the koran all by myself, and nobody paid *me* any money. Off down to social services tomorrow, I need to claim my due. Vomit.

    How many AKs with peripherals does €285,000 EU buy?

    I never like any Religion but have more respect for Buddhism as a whole they fight among themselves in their own territory at least as I know it. But this fanatic Islam movement scare the F@#$&$(@& crap out of most of us as I read it on social medias. Gets quite scary in Europe there. Religion might not be the main problem, but overpopulation certainly is. Science want to heal all the disease problems of the world and save the children. However, despite all these deaths and war casualties the population is still exploding and migrants over running into Europe. The next 10 years will tell the story, can any of these nations create an economy that sustain this population increase and satisfy the majority to create stability. I doubt that is the case sincerely and fear for the worst. civil Wars, social unrest and mass protest originate mostly in countries where the unemployment rate hits 50% among the younger from 20 to 40 years old.
