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

UK: Accused jihadi bride now back in the country and collecting taxpayer-funded benefits

Aug 11, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

Non-Muslims paying for the upkeep of Muslims 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)

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-bride’ mum-of-9 back in UK claiming Universal Credit while chasing busker dream,” by Dan Warburton and Seamus Duff, Daily Star, August 8, 2020:

A controversial Brit who has been branded a runaway ‘Isis bride’ is back in the UK and enjoying a benefits-funded life– more than a decade since she first made headlines after fleeing the country with her children.

Natalie Bracht, 45, has always denied being an ISIS fighter, and is now reportedly living on a barge having being repatriated to the UK amid the coronavirus pandemic….

Before Covid-19, Ms Bracht had been living in Germany – where she was born on an army base and is a dual citizen – but she has been back in the UK since April.

She has been in the spotlight since 2008 when she ran away from home in Sunderland with her then-five daughters, as she had fears her kids would be taken in to care.

She was later tracked down in Munich, Germany, and her kids were removed from her care – but she later made headlines again in 2014 amid concerns she had moved to Syria following converting to Islam and later headlines linked her to the ISIS terrorist network.

Now back in the UK, Ms Bracht has claimed Universal Credit, has hopes of making a living as a busker – and denies she was ever a member of ISIS.

She told The Sunday People that reports from 2018 which suggested she had joined Islamic State in Syria were untrue.

Previous reports have suggested Ms Bracht – who is a dual citizen of the UK and Germany as her father is Scottish ex-paratrooper John Brown and her mother is a German – married IS fighter Celso Rodrigues Da Costa, 31, in Syria in 2014.

And she has also been accused of being among a group of Western women held in Kurdish-controlled camps in northern Syria.

However, she has admitted being involved with controversial campaign group Cage – who previously referred to British IS executioner Jihadi John as a “beautiful young man” – where she says she worked as an interpreter….

    This murderous lying excuse for a human should be imprisoned. If the UK had any morals she would be executed.

    Investigate imprison and isolate at least till she can’t make any more little martyrs……preferably forever. After all that decent parents and a decent society invested in her….. Oh and can’t we find something more diverting for our young women to engage in?

    They should have removed her British passport since she has another passport. Let Germany pay for her.

      Exactly, and she should be charged with treason or sent to the international court for crimes against humanity.

    The British Government should stop all benefits going to her, then search all images and videos form that camp and other places and see if they can see her in any of this footage. If they do find an image, Jail her sorry ass

    “Well, I was never a member of ISIS! Well, okay, I might have been a member, but I never hurt anyone! Well, okay, there was that Yazidi sex slave, I mean, servant, I mean, house guest. But I never beat her! Only that one time! Well, okay, maybe twice, but that’s all!

    “I never saw nothing, did nothing, heard nothing! I’m not a threat to anyone! The dhimmis, I mean British, have nothing to fear from me!”

    I read these types of reports and I keep thinking, we really are just too nice in all our western countries. I don’t know if it is virtue signalling, but we always seem to be too nice and too forgiving towards these types of people. Then again, I suppose you have to get some hard evidence on her activities, though if she described that executioner in favourable terms, then she has to be a vile piece of garbage. Hopefully, jail awaits her.

    UK: Accused jihadi bride now back in the country and collecting taxpayer-funded benefits
    …………….

    Suicidal insanity.

    Does it matter that Natalie Bracht was stripped of her British citizenship? I guess not…

    “UK sisters being held in Syrian detention camps with their five children were stripped of their British citizenship when they married ISIS jihadis”
