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

UK government spends $250,000 to protect jihad preacher and give him medical care in Jordan

Jan 4, 2019 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Britain’s Prime Minister Theresa May has likened me to Abu Qatada, a leading member of al-Qaeda who was once considered “Osama bin Laden’s top man in Britain,” saying: “I kicked out Abu Hamza and Abu Qatada. I stopped Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer and Pastor Terry Jones – because Islamophobia comes from the same wellspring of hatred.”

This was a revolting comparison, as I am not and have never been a member of a terrorist group, have never been the assistant to or representative of a mass murderer, and have never called for, condoned, or approved of any violence. But May was busy propagating the fiction that there is a “far-right” threat equivalent to the jihad threat, and she opted to defame Pamela Geller and me as if we were the other side of the coin of jihad plotters Abu Hamza and Abu Qatada.

And now it comes out that the British government has spent $250,000 “for the cleric to have appointments with human rights workers and doctors for three years.”

Yet despite likening me to Abu Qatada, May has not directed her government to pay me a red cent. In light of her equating me with this jihadi, I am going to present the British government with a bill for $250,000 for my medical care and other expenses, and given that May has smeared me as a terrorist, it would only be in her interests to pay up, right? To refuse to do so would be to retreat from her comparison, and she isn’t about to do that.

“£200,000 spent on protecting hate preacher Abu Qatada human rights,” by Paul Morgan-Bentley, The Times, January 4 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Britain has spent almost £200,000 protecting the welfare of the hate preacher Abu Qatada since he was deported to Jordan in 2013, The Times can reveal.

Under terms agreed by Theresa May when she was home secretary, the government has paid for the cleric to have appointments with human rights workers and doctors for three years. The payments were agreed despite Mrs May telling parliament in 2013 that “significant costs” to the taxpayer relating to the Abu Qatada case were “not acceptable to the public and not acceptable to me”.

The “welfare visits” were to ensure that he was not tortured after he was removed from Britain for being a threat to national security, details released under freedom of information laws show….

    “paid for the cleric to have appointments with human rights workers and doctors for three years.”

    I’m betting the reality was, “apartments with multiple wives and servants for three years.”

    Send that bill, Mr. Spencer. With the common sense displayed toward Abu Qatada, they might just pay it.

    Well now, isn’t this interesting? They can’t find the money to protect their own citizens education, health and safety and protect their own borders, yet they throw £millions of MY money (I’m a UK taxpayer) at countries that can afford their own space programmes and for the upkeep of foul-minded specimens like Qatada who isn’t even a UK citizen! Mr. Spencer still seems to be somewhat annoyed at his appalling treatment by Mrs. May & Co, and rightly so, but I suspect that she’s about to come to a rather sticky end in the not-too-distant future.

      We live in hope but whatever end she meets it wont be ‘sticky’ unfortunately.Probably a Peerage .The best we can hope for is an undignified removal from office following a massive vote of no confidence in her government followed by a general elction which gives considerable gains to UKIP.

      On second thought, the large bruise on the forehead of the man pictured above is evidence of his own illness as well but the treatment he needs goes beyond what a medical doctor is able to provide. It’s most unfortunate that the same may be said for Theresa.

    Dear Mr. Spencer, I sincerely hope you will follow up and submit your $250,000 request to the British government. It is only fair they pay you and you may even have legal recourse if they refuse.

    200000 could have been donated to terrorist group like ISIS instead of wasting it on single jihadi

    HUH? WHAT? “the same wellspring of hatred” as AL WALAA WAL BARAA … ?? I think not.

    ‘Baraa’ is HATRED directed towards Kafirs ‘for the sake of Allah’…Al Bughoud or Al Mu’adaat (hatred) is the opposite of Al Muwalaat (love towards Muslims). Baraa is:
    – To Hate
    – To keep distance from
    – To be enemy to
    – To desert
    – To decline to help
    – To disrespect
    – To put down
    – Not to ally with
    – Not to support

    Allah ordered Muslims to have Baraa (to be cleansed) from the dirty kufaar and from kufr and shirk.

    -Imam Abdul-Latif ibn Abdur-Rahman Rahimullah said, “It is not possible for someone to realize Tawheed (Islamic faith) and act upon it, and yet not be HOSTILE against the mushrikeen (i.e. wrong worshippers). So anyone who isn’t HOSTILE against the mushrikeen, then it cannot be said that he acts upon Tawheed nor that he realizes it.” [ad-Durar as-Saniyyah 8/167]

    -“The doctrine of al Walaa wal Baraa is the REAL IMAGE for the actual practice of this faith.” – source “Al Walaa wal Baraa According to the Aqeedah of the Salaf”, by Sheikh Muhammad Saeed al Qatani, authoritative Saudi Sharia lawyer and imam at the Abu Bakr and Al Furqan Mosques in Mecca.

    -Shaykh Ahmad ibn ‘Atiq said:
    “There isn’t in the Book of Allah the Exalted – after the issue concerning the obligation of tawheed and the forbiddance of its opposite (kufr=wrong belief)- any issue which has as so many proofs, nor so clearly explained, than the issue of al-walaa’ and al-baraa’.” (W-B is ‘Islamic apartheid’)

    MRS. MAY, WHAT ‘WELL’ DOES ISLAMIC HATE COME FROM? DID YOU READ THE ABOVE?

      The only way we can rid the West from Islam is by a violent uprising.There is no ‘peacefull way to rid us of this evil violent cult Im afraid.It only knows violence.

        Waiting for our government to recognise the danger we face is akin to the British governments handling the obvious(to the people) threat from Hitler in the 1930s.In other words’bury their heads and hope the problem goes away’

        (…What British taxpayer wants their money to go top support this Jihadist?…)

        Sure! BTW, it is not only the British pro-jihadist government-establishment that is doing this. This is happening all over the Anti-Christ West! Remember Graven, Osama Bin-Laden was America’s hero before he turned its most wanted! Something is really very deeply rotten and putrefied in the Western world! Yakh!!!!!!!

        Must see this below:

      This is another sign of how the Anti-Christ West loves islamists, including islamic jihadists! It reminds how the US spent billions on the Taliban, Libyan jihadists, Bosnian and KLA jihadists and various islamic jihadists in Syria! See the clip below and watch as president Reagan hosts and showers praises on Taliban and Al-Qaeda jihadists in the White House:

    Might she be confusing you with the other person who has the same name? That is what I thought before I really read your blog. You might want to consider adding your middle name to your official name so Google and the press and potential readers won’t confuse you with the other Robert Spencer.

      No, she isn’t, as is quite clear from what she says about me. And there is no other prominent “Robert Spencer.” You’re thinking of Richard Spencer. Why no one can distinguish these two names is beyond me.
