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

UK taxpayers supported London Bridge jihad mass murderer: he was on welfare

Jun 10, 2017 8:54 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Khuram Butt, “the ringleader of the London terror attack was bankrolled by the taxpayer,” aka the “Jihad Seeker’s Allowance.” A jihadist’s hatred and scorn of infidels also bestows upon him a sense of entitlement: he may benefit freely from infidels, in lieu of the jizya payments that are his due, as per the Qur’an (9:29).

Butt was an associate of preacher “Anjem Choudary, who encouraged his followers to exploit Britain’s welfare system.” TheReligionofPeace.com reported that “Choudary taught that ‘the normal situation is for [Muslims] to take money from the kuffar’ and that:

The Quran also affirms that the collection of jizya is is the ideal relationship between Muslims and non-Muslims…..This is why Islamic purists such as Hamas and the Taliban wish to reinstate the jizya. One of the first orders of the self-declared caliphate formed by the Islamic State in 2014 was to impose the jizya by force on Christians who refused to embrace Islam.

See Robert Spencer’s detailed explanation of the jizya in his Blogging the Qur’an series, here and here.

“London bomber on benefits: Khuram Butt was bankrolled by the taxpayer after jailed hate preacher Anjem Choudary told followers to claim ‘Jihad Seeker’s Allowance,'” by Thomas Burrows, MailOnline, June 9, 2017:

The ringleader of the London terror attack was bankrolled by the taxpayer, it has been revealed.

Khuram Butt, 27, was claiming Jobseeker’s Allowance of around £300 a month, and was also paid housing benefit for his council-owned flat in Barking as well as child benefit.

Father-of-two Butt was a supporter of al-Muhajiroun and an associate of its leader Anjem Choudary, who encouraged his followers to exploit Britain’s welfare system.

The jailed hate preacher even used the phrase ‘Jihad Seeker’s Allowance’.

Butt, who wore an Arsenal shirt on the night of the attack, started claiming benefits after being sacked from his job on the London Underground last October.

He worked there as a trainee customer services assistant for nearly six months but was fired for poor timekeeping.

He also received Jobseeker’s Allowance for over a year after leaving a job at KFC and prior to working for Transport for London, the Daily Telegraph reported.

Relatives of Butt said he drew inspiration from extremist videos on YouTube and wanted to fight in Syria but had his passport taken away by family.

Fahad Khan, 36, the cousin of Butt’s wife Zahrah Rehman, claimed his younger relative watched the hateful tirades of preachers online and supported ISIS.

Butt is suspected of running mixed martial arts classes at the Ummah Fitness Centre, in Barking, in an attempt to groom teenagers for terror.

The gym was raided by police on Tuesday after CCTV revealed the three London Bridge terrorists met there days before the attack.

It shows Butt meeting Rachid Redouane, 30, and Youssef Zaghba, 22, five days before they murdered eight people and left dozens injured.

Counter-terrorist police are building a detailed picture of the activities of the three men before Saturday night’s massacre…..

      Not surprised, Obama /Soros team promoted this in an effort to break our system by draining our treasury. The Democrat Communist Party rank and file do not comprehend these are not refugees but hostile insurgents. The DSA leadership knows this as their means to control the masses.

      it is NOT welfare- it is simply Jizya tax given to muslims from the subjugated dhimmi Brits or at least that is how THEY see it!

      are you Brits going to stand up in the spirit of Winston Churchill and DEMAND an end to islamic supremacy in the UK , ENFORCE English COMMON LAW on every one. BAN THE FACE COVERINGS AND STRIP CITIZENSHIP AND DEPORT ALL PRO SHARIA MUSLIMS

      For every welfare “bludger” like Butt there are DOZENS of welfare officers, supervisors etc. all the way to Theresa May who actively play along with the noxious charade.

    When I learn that an Islamic terrorist in the West was not on welfare I will be surprised. I’m stunned that Butt had even previously held jobs at London Transport and at KFC.

    He work at one time in custom services for the London Underground subway services ?It would be funny if were it not so sad. Imagine try to deal with this imbecile at any custom services, time for deportation on a giant scale . He also worked at KFC I would not want a bucket of chicken from that dirty f**k.The truth is all there running a business grooming teen ages to be terrorist ,family members saying they knew he was crazy they did nothing. Deport them all or be prepared to give up your way of life. I think with the unemployment rate in England ,the number of law abide people collecting welfare they do not have to import crazed Islamics to do work at KFC or be custom service people for the London underground .

    • Jayell says

      He’s not the first dubious Islamic type to have had a job on the Underground. I believe that the other one a few years ago was the brother of an active terrorist, and he had a job on maintenance, possibly in the tunnels. Doesn’t bear thinking about.

    There is a world wide plan of the Soris socialists and Islamists to destroy western nations by 3 methods:
    1. By means of getting people into positions of influence in political parties and thereby gaining political power and direct influence over the leaders and governments. Examples are the UK, Canada, Sweden, Germany, Australia.

    2. By flooding countries with “refugees” who will take as much financial support as is available in order to economically destroy the societies of their host countries.

    3. By direct violent attacks from Soros funded Antifa, Black Lives Matter and other anarchist groups and Islamists jihadi terrorists.

    We are deeply involved in a major war, yet 60% of the worlds population refuse to see or believe it.

      It is war and people in the West refuse to see it.

    British people are not awake yet. They will need to have more frequent shock therapy if they are to heal from their STOCKHOLM SYNDROME, DENIALISM, WISHFUL THINKING and LEFTARDATION.

      Unfortunately this is the truth and it is the same in the USA. Look how our government is working on the biggest distraction from REALITY.: “RUSSIAN COLLUSION” of Trump.

      And people actually follow these idiotic false news while Jihadists and communists advance their destruction of USA. Surreal!

    • Michael Copeland says

      Jun 10, 2017 at 11:56 am

      The UK is not helped by a Prime Minister who thinks a jihad attack is a “perversion”.

      • mortimer says

        Jun 10, 2017 at 1:19 pm

        The DENIALISM in the UK parliament regarding the JIHAD DOCTRINE IS MIND-BLOWINGLY DELUSIONAL, even INSANE.

        Their La-La DREAM-STATE is a complete rejection of the sober REALITY that Islam has a vicious teaching of HATRED and WARFARE directed against the FILTHY NON-MUSLIM KAFIRS. Hatred is a core virtue of Islam when directed against the ENEMIES OF ALLAH who may be abused endlessly until they surrender to Islam.

        The SHOCK TREATMENTS will CONTINUE until the British people rise up against Islam.

    Khuram Butt wouldn’t have had time for jihad if he’d been required as an able-bodied male to get a job instead of sit on welfare.

      It’s difficult to juggle work/prayer/terror planning and gym training when you’re unemployed.

    muslims call these payments, jizya, and believe they are entitled as written in the koran 9.29

    and the Brits deserve this…they refuse to believe islamic ‘scholars’ regarding treatment of infidels….

    and the Brits hate the Jews more…

    so f em

    May wants to control the Internet to ‘fight terrorism.’ But everyone here knows ‘radicalization’ is easily accomplished with a single paper copy of the Quran.

    The Manchester attacker was reported five separate times. The FBI told UK counterterror he was actively plotting. He had traveled to Libya and Syria.

    One of the most recent attackers appeared in a documentary on jihadists.

    At a certain point, and I think we’ve reached it, we have to acknowledge the possibility western governments are intentionally allowing terrorism to occur.

    Under Obama, Hasan was a known wolf communicating with al Awlaki. Boston bombers had been given up by Russia. And so on.

    Fairly recent stats show 49.5% of muslim males and 75% of muslim females to be unemployed. Then add to that all the other benefits they receive even if they have got jobs. I won’t go on about the rest of it.
