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

Australia: Islamic group has received over US$1,750,000 in taxpayer funds since 2010, up to 75% of its revenue

Jun 30, 2018 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“The ICV had controversially called for taxpayer-funded ‘safe spaces’ in which Muslim youth could vent extreme speech.”

They’ve apparently received enough taxpayer money to have funded those jihadi incubators themselves.

Why did the Victoria authorities give this Islamic group so much money? Do they fund Jewish and Christian and Hindu organizations at this same clip? Why the favoritism for Muslims? Do they think their largesse will blunt the force of the jihad? Unfortunately, it will not. Making war against infidels is a Qur’anic imperative (cf. Qur’an 2:190-193, 4:89, 8:12, 8:39, 9:5, 9:29, 9:73, 9:123, 47:4, etc.); there is no exception for infidels who are kind and generous to the Muslims.

“An investigation into the Islamic Council of Victoria reveals it’s received $2.4m in state grants since 2010,” by John Masanauskas, Herald Sun, June 28, 2018 (thanks to Kenneth):

A STATE government investigation has found that Victoria’s peak Muslim body should be more accountable for the taxpayer-funded grants it receives.

The probe into the Islamic Council of Victoria revealed that the organisation has received $2.4 million in state government funding since 2010-11.

In 2015-16, three-quarters of the ICV’s revenue came from the public purse.

The Andrews Government launched the inquiry after the Herald Sun revealed last year that the ICV had controversially called for taxpayer-funded “safe spaces” in which Muslim youth could vent extreme speech.

The submission to a federal Parliamentary inquiry had demanded that existing counter-terrorism and anti-violent extremism funds be diverted to create the safe spaces….

The report, which has been released to the Herald Sun under Freedom of Information laws, found that the ICV had generally provided activities for which it had been funded, and there were no urgent issues that required action….

Among the ICV’s taxpayer-funded programs were a $570,000 “empower Muslim youth” grant over three years that included learning about indigenous culture and making a documentary.

A further $440,000 was given for “administration of ICV” from 2012-16.

The review found the justification for some grants unclear, such as $10,000 for a Muslim arts festival and $3500 for an “interfaith street break fast celebration”….

Mr Salman said the review had unearthed some minor issues, but “basically confirmed that the ICV is a reliable partner”.

“It was actually an opportunity for us to get an imprimatur from the government saying these guys are legit, they’ve got good practices, so we’ll use that when we apply for new grants,” he said….

    The true genius of Islam and their very useful idiotic Liberal dhimmis:
    “Invade, conquer and dominate a militarily superior country and get that country to actually pay for it.”
    Absolutely brilliant!

        Of course they are.

        Unfortunately the source of this funding – The State Labor govt – itself has been guilty of misusing taxpayer funds, first in using them for electioneering purposes (Illegal) and then using about a million dollars to stop an inquiry into the electioneering.The Police and Corrections Ministers were involved. naturally, all of them are still merrily in office.

    “The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them.”

      You would think that they would look at what happened to 30,000 Commies that helped the Ayatollah git rid of the Shah of Iran. I believe they were hung after the Shah was deposed!

        True–the Mullahs savagely liquidated the Communist Tudeh Party after they consolidated their power in the early ’80s. Many went to their deaths screaming that they had always been loyal to the revolution.

    are you an idiot; “reliable partner” can never be used in the same sentence with islam/muslim.

    these people are pure nuts; they are paying for their own demise and too stupid to see it. If they can’t provide ‘safe places’ for all they should not provide for anyone. the muzzies are invading and they are too dumb to see how they are being used. cut them off; deport them if you can.

    A feeble attempt by liberals and pacifists to buy off their attackers. These useful idiots fail to learn history. When these so called holy warriors finally get the chance to run the country, the first people to go to chop chop square will be:

    1. Muslims not considered muslim enough, and those that left the faith.
    2. Above mentioned useful idiots
    2. Any one with more than two functioning neurons that will be seen as a threat to the new state.

    One eighth of zakat must go to mujahideen. Kor’an 9:60. Don’t think that’s what the verse means? Check authoritative interpretations. Oh and none of it can go to non-Muslims unless it’s to assist in proselytizing for the half-converted. See same authoritative interpretations.

    It follows that any contribution to any Muslim “charity” constitutes aiding and abetting the enemies of our freedoms and 0ur institutions, in addition to (if done by the American government) constituting a violation of the Equal Protection clause of the XIVth Amendment to our Constitution.

    • gravenimage says

      Jun 30, 2018 at 9:18 pm

      Yes–a good part of Zakat goes to the funding of violent Jihad.

    This sort of idiocy goes on quite a lot here in Australia. Victoria is infamous for its left wing government, so this waste of money trying to buy goodwill from the Muslims because they make so much trouble, is probably worse than other states. But there have been cases of government funding in New South Wales being corruptly handed over to Islamic Councils by Islamic schools instead of spending the money on the schools, etc. Of course, the Islamic schools would no doubt teach dangerous crap anyway. Also, some child care centres run by Muslims sending money to help jihadis overseas. The mistake, of course, is letting Muslims into any non-MUslim country. In Australia, just as in France, UK and everywhere else, the Muslims inevitably become would be terrorists, criminals, etc, (you know the poor “disaffected” Muslim youth sob story) so our idiotic governments think, oh, we need to give Muslims extra attention and money and try to win them over to being peaceful. As if that’ll work. It’s that story about the squeaky wheel getting the attention. It’s like that Ifta dinner( or whatever it’s called) a year of so back where our pathetic Prime MInister Turnbull hosted Muslims and people from other religions, but spent all his time sucking up to the Muslims, and pretty much ignoring people of other religions. Why? Because the Muslims are so much greater troublemakers. It’s sickening. Of course, our federal government has to spend a fortune on security services on a continual basis who spend their time trying to prevent Muslim terrorists killing us. It’s no doubt the same in every country where there are Muslims. It’s all such a negative for this country.

    What’s Australia’s waste disposal budget? Because this is money down the drain. In any case, I was under the impression that muslims invented ways of raking in the money apart from their overseas sponsors; the infamous ‘halal’ scam, for example, that is raking in thousands of dollars from th kuffar in parts of Australia, whereby everything (even delivery vans) has to be registered ‘halal’ by some local imam in order for the locals to do business with muslims!

  19. Chris Malan says

    “Why did the Victoria authorities give this Islamic group so much money?” Because Victoria prides itself on its political correctness. They are artistic, encourage homosexuality and everything in opposition to conservative values. Their Shangri-la is a gay and trans-gender society with a mosque, meditation center, and various centres for the promotion of the arts in every block. That’s why.

    I thought Canada was going down the pan, but Australia is not far behind. mulsims believe these handouts are actually rightfully theirs, and call it jizya. That is why they are not grateful in the slightest.

    Mosques are the safe spaces where muslims give vent to their feelings, encouraged by the imams.

    That the very left-win Andrews government (backed by the Greens) of Victoria conducted an inquiry in the firsts place is a minor miracle in itself. But it’s not good enough. It doesn’t go far enough. Victorians must keep the pressure up. Most of us resent a single cent going to Islamic hives of hate because like other previously taxpayer funded Islamic feel-good clubs of western, Christian & Jewish persecution & genocide. There have been increased suspicions that the funds are being used to fund the Muslim Brotherhood & ISIS et al. Indeed, Islamic schools have been shutdown for that very reason. Australians have seen what Islam has done to Europe & even the UK. And we are not about to let it happen to Australia. And we must keep it up whilst we still have the freedoms to do so. Whilst some mainstream media in this country still speaks most of the truth. The Herald Sun & it’s revered journalist Andrew Bolt, being the mot vocal. But we need you to keep highlighting these things, for we need all the support we can get. If we are to fight the good & righteous fight. We must do it together. And hopefully, if all else fails. We can provide a new safe haven & home for our fellow European & British brothers & sisters. As well as those from South Africa. And persecuted Christians & Jews from all over the world. May God be with us & those fighting for the truth every single day.
