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

Muslim migrant evades taxes to amass 2,000,000 euros to fund jihadist imams in Italy and elsewhere

Sep 11, 2019 3:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

“Ten people were arrested in the Italian regions of Piemonte and Abruzzo on charges of terrorism, money laundering and covert financing….Through tax evasion, Jameleddine B. Brahim Kharroubi, a small business owner of Tunisian origin, accumulated about two million euros to fund radical imams in Italy and abroad.”

Kharroubi was free to spread his jihad ideology for years. Meanwhile, he was in the business of “interfaith dialogue.” His misdeeds were not publicly known until recently, but there are still many Westerners who continue to “dialogue” with Islamic supremacists and jihadists who make no secret about their ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. Through such initiatives, jihadists are rapidly expanding their base.

Kharroubi praised Osama Bin Laden, saying “God bless his soul.” He applauded jihad violence and martyrdom. While he was being monitored for years, he was busy expanding his jihadist mission and funding jihadist imams not only in Italy, but abroad as well. Given the escalating threat of jihad plotting in mosques, some politicians in Western European countries have proposed — as a counterterrorism strategy and to promote Muslim integration — that imams be forced to “deliver sermons only in the official language: In Germany, imams should preach in German; in Italy, in Italian; in Britain, in English; in France, in French.” While implementing such a requirement is sensible, albeit not enough to counter jihad activity, activist Muslim groups will be sure to scream “Islamophobia” and stymie efforts.

“Islamic cell funding radical imams uncovered in Italy,” by Rossella Tercatin, Jerusalem Post, September 8, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Ten people were arrested in the Italian regions of Piemonte and Abruzzo on charges of terrorism, money laundering and covert financing, Italian daily La Stampa reported on Sunday.

Through tax evasion, Jameleddine B. Brahim Kharroubi, a small business owner of Tunisian origin, accumulated about two million euros to fund radical imams in Italy and abroad.

The report highlighted that Brahim Kharroubi and the uncovered Islamic cell had ties with Al Nusra, the Al Qaeda branch active in Syria.

“God blessed his soul,” Brahim Kharroubi said speaking of former Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden in a 2016 conversation tapped by Italian security forces. In other discussions, the man praised Al Nusra and Islamic fighters “ready to martyrdom,” and expressed his support for the 2015 terror attacks in Paris. He also worked to recruit foreign fighters to send to Syria.

According to La Stampa, the 57-year-old had been monitored by several intelligence agencies for his financial ties with radical Islamic organizations for several years. He was included in the Europol database and Terrorist Finance Tracking Program as a member of a network devoted to transfer covert funds to Morocco since 2005…..

    Muslims are obligated to follow the laws of their host country unless those laws would require the Muslim to commit a sin. This is especially true if one has taken an oath of obedience, like when you apply for asylum or citizenship. So this guy is going to hell for treachery. From “Faith in Allah” website*:

    “Fulfill the covenant of Allah when you have taken it, and do not break oaths after their confirmation while you have made Allah a witness over you. Verily, Allah knows what you do.

    Surah An-Nahl 16:91

    It is forbidden for a Muslim to betray anyone to whom he has given a pledge of security or a promise. Treachery is an enormous sin which results in severe punishment and humiliation in the Hereafter.

    Ibn Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

    إِذَا جَمَعَ اللَّهُ الأَوَّلِينَ وَالآخِرِينَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يُرْفَعُ لِكُلِّ غَادِرٍ لِوَاءٌ فَقِيلَ هَذِهِ غَدْرَةُ فُلاَنِ بْنِ فُلاَنٍ

    When Allah gathers the earlier and later generations on the Day of Resurrection, he will raise a banner for every treacherous person and it will be announced that this is the treachery of this person, the son of this person.

    Source: Sahih Bukhari 5823, Grade: Muttafaqun Alayhi

    The general rule is that a Muslim should obey those in authority as long as they do not command us to commit sins.

    Ibn Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

    السَّمْعُ وَالطَّاعَةُ حَقٌّ مَا لَمْ يُؤْمَرْ بِالْمَعْصِيَةِ فَإِذَا أُمِرَ بِمَعْصِيَةٍ فَلَا سَمْعَ وَلَا طَاعَةَ

    Listening to and obeying the leader is an obligation as long as he does not command disobedience to Allah. If he commands disobedience, then there is no listening to him or obedience.

    Source: Sahih Bukhari 2796, Grade: Sahih

    In some cases, a Muslim may be required to participate in something controversial in Islam, such as purchasing mandatory insurance. In this case, according to the principle of choosing the lesser of two harms, a Muslim should follow the law according to the minimum requirements if the consequences of breaking the law would be worse for him and his community.

    Therefore, we should obey the law of the land in which we live as a matter of upholding our citizenship or visa contract. We should not lie, betray, or defraud anyone, nor can we justify violating anyone’s rights because they are not Muslims.”

      Good report from Dhazard. However, the school of Sayyid Qutb and that of Maulana Maududi tell Muslims to attack the ‘near enemy’ and overwhelm them.

      Those ‘schools’ of jihad say that Muslims have a duty to impose an Islamic state wherever one doesn’t exist.

      Muslims are only obligated to keep a contract with dirty Kafirs for 10 years, then they may break it to benefit Islam.

    For 1300 years, Italy has fought off Islamic terrorists trying to invade Italy. Finally, they have invited the terrorists to come and attack Italy from within.

    How tragic, how mad, how self-deceiving.

      Yes Mortimer, and who would have believed that it is the Pope himself who is doing the inviting !!

        Vatican City is NOT Italia. It is a separate country surrounded by Italia. I thank God ( the real One) for my Catholic Faith but first for the Roman blood that flows through my veins. God save 🇮🇹 Italy. God save my Church from this current pope and crony cardinals.
