Non-Muslims paying for the upkeep of Muslims, willingly or unwillingly, is a Qur’anic dictate:
“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).
The caliph Umar said the jizya payments from the dhimmis were the source of the Muslims’ livelihood:
“Narrated Juwairiya bin Qudama at-Tamimi: We said to `Umar bin Al-Khattab, ‘O Chief of the believers! Advise us.’ He said, ‘I advise you to fulfill Allah’s Convention (made with the Dhimmis) as it is the convention of your Prophet and the source of the livelihood of your dependents (i.e. the taxes from the Dhimmis.)’” (Bukhari 4.53.388)
Jihad preacher 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.”
“How I was indoctrinated to wage war against Nigeria — Boko Haram Commander,” by Ifeanyi Okolie, Vanguard, January 5, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A top commander of the Boko Haram Sect, Umar Abdulmalik, who was arrested penultimate Thursday by operatives of the Inspector General of Police Special Intelligence Response Team, IRT, in Lagos State, for carrying out several bombings, bank robberies and killings within the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja, Owo, Ondo State and Lokoja Kogi State, has revealed how he joined the sect and led members to carry out these attacks….
“I joined one of the Boko Haram cells in Okene headed by one Zeeidi and we carried out several bombings within Kaduna, Kano and Abuja. Zeeidi was the person providing the bombs and my job then was to take them to our target locations. After a while, the Department of State Security infiltrated our cell and they started arresting members of our group. Mallam Mustapha was arrested and his mosque was demolished. Zeedi brought the idea of bank robbery so that those of us who have not been arrested could have resources to continue with the jihad. He brought some guns and he suggested we should attack the Kotonkarfe Prison in Kogi State, so we could free our members who were detained there. The attack on the prison was successful and we freed a lot of our members, after which we attacked some banks in Okene and took all the money we could find there.
“We then moved to Owo where we robbed some of the banks with dynamites and carted away large sums of money. We used some of the money we made from those robberies to buy high explosives including materials we could use in producing non-metallic bombs that could beat metal detectors. A lot of our members including Zeedi were arrested after those bank robberies and the attack on prison. We’re open for business, says U.S. Embassy in Nigeria Then, I moved to Abuja with the bombs we produced and I formed a new cell in 2014. We carried out several bombings in the Fedeal [sic] Capital territory including those at Banex Plaza, Nyanya and Kuje areas of Abuja. Unfortunately our gang was busted and five of our gang members were arrested while our bombs, including the non-metallic and the materials we were using in making them were recovered. I escaped, fled to Kano and I went underground for two years before I returned to Abuja and formed a new gang and we went into full blown armed robbery.”…

Stealing, cheating, lying, killing and, of course, raping are all good if such actions weaken the infidels and advance the cause of Islam. Muhammad showed how it’s all done and he’s the man all others should emulate. Since caravans are no longer as common as in the past, robbing banks is an acceptable substitute for a way in which to imitate Muhammad and to please Allah. Muslims may take comfort in knowing that the other ways to please Allah remain pretty much the same.

Today we can see how many mosques are in America and are being built….Now do the Muslim clerics, imams, preachers…whatever they are called…preach and teach from a different Koran than those in other areas of the world that teach just exactly what their book of hate, the Koran, teaches and is preached in those mosques???yre our leaders aware of what is in the koran and other writings in Islam? Are mosques in America being monitored to know if these mosque teachers/preachers are filling the minds of the attendees with the bunk that transforms them into the Muslim that becomes the terrorist that want to force
I Islam and sharia law upon the public?
I doubt that the answers to these questions would have the answers that we are looking for.

Robbing banks is the work of minor Jihadis. Big-timers empty out a nation’s treasury – look at Malaysia’s prime minister. Grand larceny is no crime in Islam as long as the perpetrator is the head of an Islamic country. How about the Muslim accountants – HSBC auditors who siphoned billions for jihad causing the bank to suffer a massive $1bil fine for bad auditing ?
No wonder most Muslim countries are shitholes – robbery is sanctioned but minor theft is punishable. Big Mo himself knew nothing about accounts or accountability. He takes if it’s there – all monies bilong me.
That’s how primitive it gets. Islamic Banking, anyone ?

Public wearing of the Burqa garment ought to be banned or at least heavily restricted for security reasons.
Underneath a burka might be an abducted child or an armed man or an armed woman who will commit crime to advance cause of the Ummah at the expense of nonMuslims.

Nigeria: Muslims robbed banks to finance their jihad against the government
………………………
Well, why not? After all, the “Prophet” funded his Jihad against the Meccans by raiding Meccan caravans. This hasn’t change in the intervening 1400 years.
