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

UK: Muslim received over $12,000 in welfare benefits while beheading 100 people for the Islamic State in Syria

Sep 1, 2019 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“As the terrorist had been living in Birmingham, he allegedly claimed thousands of pounds in housing and council tax benefits from Birmingham City Council. After they left Birmingham, their former landlord told the council that the pair were no longer living at his property. But no one at the authority or the Department for Work and Pensions stopped benefits being paid into their account. As a result, they were paid almost £10,000 in benefits.”

Why didn’t anyone stop the benefits? They were probably afraid of being accused of “racism” and “Islamophobia.” Thus they played into the hands of the Muslims who believe the Qur’anic dictate that non-Muslims paying for the upkeep of Muslims is the natural order of things:

“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)

UK 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.”

“JIHADI BEAST SNARED Britain-based ISIS fighter who ‘beheaded more than 100 people while claiming £10k benefits in Birmingham’ is captured in Syria,” by Debbie White, The Sun, August 30, 2019:

A BRIT-based ISIS fighter who allegedly beheaded more than 100 people while claiming £10,000 in benefits in Birmingham has reportedly been captured in Syria.

Belgian-born Anouar Haddouchi – dubbed the “executioner of Raqqa” – was arrested with his wife Julie Maes by Kurdish troops, says Het Laatste Nieuws.

The 35-year-old allegedly decapitated more than 100 people for ISIS in Raqqa.

Kurdish troops are said to have captured the couple after the battle for the last ISIS stronghold in Baghouz, eastern Syria.

Het Laatste Nieuws says it’s not known as yet where Haddouchi will be tried – in Syria, Belgium or France.

It’s not been revealed when the pair were nabbed, or when they could go to trial.

The publication points out that “he risks the death penalty in Iraq” if tried there.

Haddouchi was also allegedly involved in financing deadly terror attacks which slaughtered scores of people in Brussels and Paris.

Originally from Brussels, Haddouchi shifted to Birmingham in 2009.

He was based there until four years ago, when he shifted to Syria, where he allegedly took on an executioner’s role for the terror group.

While he was allegedly beheading more than 100 people in the central market square in Raqqa – and was said to have laughed about their brutal deaths – he continued to receive housing benefits into his Brit bank account.

The BBC reports that, according to legal papers, Haddouchi and his wife initially joined ISIS in September 2014.

As the terrorist had been living in Birmingham, he allegedly claimed thousands of pounds in housing and council tax benefits from Birmingham City Council.

After they left Birmingham, their former landlord told the council that the pair were no longer living at his property.

But no one at the authority or the Department for Work and Pensions stopped benefits being paid into their account.

As a result, they were paid almost £10,000 in benefits.

De Morgan says that Haddouchi allegedly received money from a relative every month until October 2015, as there were no international banks in Raqqa for him to use….

      This brings to mind the fraud investigator who was fired…if recalled correctly…for reporting on the fraud committed by moslims. It’s a lose-lose for honesty.

        Agreed, Somehistory. Here is that grim story:

    “…The publication points out that “he risks the death penalty in Iraq” if tried there….”

    Well, that makes the choice of where he should be tried a ‘no brainer’, off to Iraq with him, and his wife!

      What is astonishing is not that “he risks the death penalty in Iraq”, but that if convicted of beheading over 100 people he would not face the death penalty in Syria, Belgium or France.

    When a person allows themselves to be directed by satan the devil, there is no limit to the depths of evil to which he/she will descend.

    Murdering, and using the money he was *paid* just to be alive and living in a country that **pays** people who don;t wish to work when they are able, to help other moslims murder others.

    If someone was required to work…which the Bible says is necessary when one is able…and report the work, having the employer also report the work, then this sort of abuse would not happen so often.

    This is truly sickening as it is demonic. His death cannot bring back any of his victims, but he has forfeited his right to life. In the present climate of allowing moslims to do as they please, will he be made to pay?

    Islam’s official slogan is ‘WE LOVE DEATH’. So why not give Anouar Haddouchi what he CLAIMED he’s wanted all along?

    Let the public hangman in Iraq introduce Anouar Haddouchi to the nether regions at end of a strong rope.

    Islamic terrorists want to die (or say they do) and so I changed my mind about the death penalty and now favor it for Islamic terrorists like Anouar Haddouchi.

    I wonder what blubbering excuses Anouar Haddouchi will sputter in his defense of his crimes against humanity.

    Islam is the ONLY religion that mandates CHOPPING OFF body parts as a punishment.

    Yes, it’s a hard job, but hey, somebody’s gotta do it!

    But seriously though, how does somebody manage that? As I understood it, UK has a similar system to here in Australia where, if you are on the dole [or now called ‘New Start Allowance’ in newspeak] there is this thing called ‘Mutual Obligation Requirement’ that requires you HAVE to make a mandatory set minimum amount of job applications in each fortnightly unemployment /dole [NewStart] benefit period (with younger people it’s set at more, and with older people it is set at less) and when you lodge your fortnightly continuationn of benefit and compliance details, either on line or on paper over the desk, with the Dept. of Social Security [now called ‘Centrelink’ in Orwellian newspeak] you have to supply them with a detailed list of job applications you have made in that period, and it must be at least the amount set as your ‘mutual obligation requirement (or you are going to be breached). There are also very harsh Federal penalties for lying and fraud – including jail sentences. Surely there had to be some kind of lying and fraudulence being perpetrated with this mutt’s continuation of welfare benefits pplications??

      Once you set up a bureaucracy to dispense money, dispensing money, not fulfilling paperwork requirements, becomes its objective. The welfare bureaucrats view requirements as simply nuisance suggestions, and act accordingly.

      The choice is clear: the government has the responsibility for overseeing the lives and material needs of its citizens, or it doesn’t. If you elect to have a socialist government, everyone will have a claim on your money.

        1,400 years of koranically-sanctioned islamic thievery explained..

        “Allah promiseth ye much booty that ye will capture and hath given you this in advance and hath withheld men’s hands from you,that it may be a token for the believers and that he may guide you on a right path”
        Koran 48:20{Al FATH:victory}

        “hath given you this IN ADVANCE”=PERMISSION from al lah himself to steal from the infidels.

        Since when is STEALING being “on a right path”?

        Allah missed those commandments of God didn’t he?

        Grimly true, Ronald.

        I grew up on welfare as a child. I ran away from home when I was fifteen, due to dangerously escalating abuse. My biggest fear was that my family would try to force me back home.

        I needn’t have worried about that. It turns out that my family continued to collect welfare payments for me, despite my not being in the city’s school system and my not being seen by any social worker, teacher, or doctor there for three years. My family could have buried me in the basement–and might well have if I had not fled–and no one would have been the wiser. I still find this terribly disturbing.

          I cannot imagine what you had to go through as a 15-year-old.

          Somehow, you had summoned the courage and good judgment to leave an increasingly abusive home environment.

          You have gained great strength and wisdom, as shown by your consistently intelligent posts on Jihad Watch.

          God bless.

          I agree with the other commenters here, gravenimage. Despite your going through hard times at a very young age, you seem to have turned out very well indeed. You’re definitely smart and, from your comments here, eminently sane in your views and have a good bullshit detector. Things could have turned out badly for you, but you’ve overcome those difficulties. Sometimes you get into fights with people who deserve it, here at Jihad Watch, but I mostly notice that you are positive and encouraging in your comments on other people’s comments.

          Thank you very much, Tim. Despite the grim nature of opposing Jihad, I think it is important to know not just what we are fighting against, but also what we are fighting *for*.

          I treasure Robert Spencer and the Anti-Jihadists here. I wish the circumstances were different, but I am glad to know you and stand with you.

          g,

          You have made a few references before about the early difficulties (a mild word, I know) you experienced and I know that opening up about such personal circumstances and events can be difficult if not also traumatic. (Many children and even adults cannot go to court and testify to things done to them due to the trauma it would cause, and thus, the perps get away with the crimes. Part of this is the fear that they will not be believed, and part to the reliving of the terrible events, and part to fear of what will happen to them after they testify.)

          Your honesty and willingness to confide in virtual strangers is, in itself, evidence of your emotional strength.

        • gravenimage says

          Sep 2, 2019 at 11:18 pm

          Thank you, Ernie and Somehistory. It took a long time, but I have largely come to terms with what happened to me, and have worked to try to make sure it doesn’t happen to others. I rarely mention it here unless it is in some way salient–as an aspect of it appeared to be with this story.

        • gravenimage says

          Sep 3, 2019 at 11:45 pm

          My main point, of course, is that this story does not surprise. Once welfare funds start flowing there is seldom any oversight–not even if the recipient is still in the district. That the recipient in this case was in the Islamic State murdering people is ugly than most possibilities.

    UK is paying 23,000 jihadists to live off the British taxpayers. All the jihadists should be doing hard labor to pay back the largesse of the country they are betraying. Either that or they should get a one-way ticket to an Islamic Berzerkistan.

    Given the appalling nature of this piece of inhuman garbage’s crimes (100 beheadings) I don’t understand the bit in the report about not knowing whether he will be tried in Syria or Belgium or France. Surely no-one could be considering letting this scumbag get some type of soft western justice in a western country. If they’ll execute him in Iraq, then send him there. I hope he is tried there, is tortured for months on end and then, maybe, for someone as sadistically evil as this maggot, a beheading (some of his own medicine) might suit his crimes. Oh, but then again, in Islamic law such as ISIS carried out, this sadistic piece of trash, who I’m sure would have got a sick thrill out beheading all those people, wouldn’t even be seen as a criminal at all. Islam is so evil and barbaric in so many ways. As for him receiving the money from the UK, that’s probably just a pathetic level of slackness from a government instrumentality, the sort of thing that would often happen with government departments.

    The actions of ISIS exceeded those of the Nazi.
    But in rrality, they opened a window to the reality of Islam and the Quran.
    They did not do anything that Mohamad would frown upon or the Qur’an did not order.

    Al azhar did not condemn them. It declared as long as the say that no god but God and Mohamad is the prophet of god, their work is acceptable and not condemnable.

    They should be tried by tribunals in Iraq and Syrisa, where they commuted their crimes. Western countries should stop calling them citizens. . They declared that they are enemies of the countries that adopted them.
    The international community should have supported this decision years ago and stoped haggling about their trials.

      Sep 2, 2019 at 11:27 pm

      Many Muslims–including in Iraq and Syria–approved of what ISIS did. And why not? All perfectly Islamic. Most of the issues Muslims have had with ISIS is when they have targeted other-sect Muslims.

    Also, how can a welfare recipient afford to travel to Syria? He obviously had money coming in from somewhere else.
