UK: Muslima gets nearly $125,000 in illegal benefits, is spared jail, has to attend taxpayer-funded program

Aug 24, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

If Saaba Mahmood had been a non-Muslim who had defrauded the British government of nearly $125,000, do you think she would have gotten off so leniently? Neither do I.

No one in shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain would have dared breathe a word of it, but in reality, 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.”

“Mother-of-eight, 36, avoids jail after scrounging nearly £100,000 in illegal benefit claims she made on behalf of relatives living in Pakistan in return for going on a course to teach her it’s not a victimless crime,” by William Cole, Mailonline, August 21, 2020:

A mother of eight who scrounged almost £100,000 in benefits she claimed for relatives living in Pakistan has been spared jail after she offered to enrol on a taxpayer funded programme to help her realise her crimes were not ‘victimless.’

Saaba Mahmood, 36, pocketed state benefit handouts on behalf of her aunt and uncle over a five year period – even though she knew they were living in their native Pakistan.

But when she was caught, shameless Mahmood, of Heald Green near Stockport, Greater Manchester said she did not realise she was unable to claim on behalf of relatives who lived abroad.

She also claimed she ‘lacked skills in understanding how to live in society as a responsible adult’ and added that she did not realise her offences were not ‘victimless crimes.’

At Minshull Street Crown Court in Manchester, Mahmood admitted four charges of failing to disclose information to make a gain and one offence of fraud but was given 16 months jail suspended for 18 months.

She will also now take part in a 15-day offenders programme estimated to cost £1,500.

Prosecutor Julian Goode said: ‘These are cases relating to benefit claims on behalf of her aunt, uncle, and mother. She acted as an appointee for them and in that capacity and she had a duty to disclose changes in circumstances that would impact the claim.

‘She claimed Disability Living Allowance on behalf of her aunt between January 2013 and September 2018, and Employment Support Allowance between February 2013 and October 2018.

‘She was acting as her aunt’s appointee and as a result both benefits were paid directly into her bank account. There is evidence to show her aunt left the UK in January 2014 to go to her daughter’s wedding in Pakistan but fell ill there and did not return to the UK until 28 October 2018.

‘The defendant did not disclose this and continued to receive those payments in her behalf between February 2014 and October 2018. These payments totalled £62,406.52.

‘Her uncle claimed Disability Living Allowance between November 2018 and October 2018 and Employment Support Allowance between October 2010 and October 2018. The defendant became his appointee in July 2012.

‘She got the credit into her bank account, but he was out of the country between November 2012 and October 2013 and again between October 2015 and June 2016 and June 2016 and December 2017. The defendant failed to report the change and the overpayment was £32,074.52.

‘The defendant became an appointee for her mother in July 2015 and on 31 August 2018 she said her mother was able to care for her uncle and received Employment Support Allowance. On 9 October 2018 she reported the change that her mother had stopped caring for her uncle. The overpayment in this case was £325.

‘The total overpayment was £94,858.44. The defendant was interviewed on 7 February last year and confirmed her aunt had been living in Pakistan between 2014 and 2018. She said she did not know she needed to report if someone was abroad.

‘She said she had reported that her uncle was in Pakistan in September 2017. She said she completed forms between June 2013 and November 2016 in which she failed to mention he was in Pakistan. A breach of trust was involved..’

At an earlier hearing a lawyers for Mahmood she said she would ‘benefit from programmes to help her understand these are not victimless offences’ and added: ‘She lacks skills in understanding how to live in society as a responsible adult.’…

Mahmood was also ordered to complete 15 rehabilitation requirement days and 150 hours of unpaid work….

        Not all of us.
        Personally, I’d throw her ass back to pakistan for this (after all, what does she give to society when she lacks so many skills, including keeping her legs shut) but our cowardly, corrupt, bought-and-paid-for politicians and judiciary are determined to throw us to the crocodile to save their own worthless skins, keep their voters and line their pockets.
        I wonder how many native british people in real need will be denied disability living allowance to make up the shortfall for what this parasite stole?
        Must be some more of that white privilege we hear so much about.

    Islam (submission) is a euphemism for ‘slavery’. No one is as submitted as a slave.

    It is normative Islam to take slaves and extort money from non-Muslims.

    Islamic extortion money is of different kinds: plunder, extortion, tribute, jizzya.

    Taking money from the dirty kufaar is decreed by Allah, so Muslims feel righteous when they deceive, menace and plunder the dirty kufaar ‘for the sake of Allah’.

      Klein Bottle…

      Taking of booty from the enemy is also sanctioned by the quran.

  5. FYI says

    Aug 24, 2020 at 10:14 am

    Ah but allah is OK with muslims stealing from infidels;

    “allah promiseth you 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

    Thus the muslima feels entitled to steal from the kufaar;after all,allah himself is OK with stealing{as he is with murdering infidels koran 2:191,bearing false witness koran 3:28,adultery with captured enslaved women koran 4:24 etc}

    If you are a Jew or a Christian{or even an atheist from either background} you are probably wondering how this allah claims to be God and yet can be Ok with encouraging his muslims to steal etc when the Decalogue of Exodus 20 condemns such things.

    Well you see allah MISSED all that stuff didn’t he?
    {Exodus 20 Decalogue Laws,Chief law#1 Deut 6:4-9,chief law#2 lev19:18,the Golden Rule[see Matthew 7 v 12 where the golden rule is defined as being the MEANING of the Law of Moses…and yet allah MISSED that too}..}

    Notice how allah is proud to tell muslims it is OK to steal{as long as the victims are infidels} and then,laughably,claims he is guiding them on ‘the right path’.

    it’s the islamic dooty to steal that kufaar booty:that explains how welfare is seen as a tax the kufaar pay to the muslims as a type of Jizya{which is THEFT of course to most folk but not in islam as allah is OK with islamic thievery}

    To be fair, there have been quite a few cases over the years of individuals, muslim and non-muslim, who have been caught fiddling the system and getting away with most if not all of it, although muslims (of which I believe 81.5% are now on benefits) must account for a large number if not a majority. But the biggest fiddle, where muslim ‘single (aka polygamous) mothers’ claim all their living and housing expenses from the State, will never appear before the courts because it’s legal, since their islamic marriages are unregistered and officially unrecognised. The self-indulgent stupid gullibility of the UK authorities is NOT shared by the UK people, since it’s the people’s money that these negligent, deluded idiots are throwing away and the people’s patience with the handling of Channel invaders has as good as snapped. The average UK citizen is now well aware of the antics of the muslims, and the increasing whingeing about ‘islamophobia’ is just a symptom of the growing backlash which is only going to get worse as economic conditions deteriorate.

    If the UK finally fully falls and becomes a full Islamic Republic, what happens to the current Crown dependencies and overseas territories?

    Will, for instance, Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, the Falkland Islands, etc., also become islamic?

    And will Buckingham Palace be turned into a mosque?

    • Christopher Watson says

      Aug 25, 2020 at 3:52 am

      IF the UK becomes an Islamic state? We have been for many years. Our government is just a front. The ‘real’ power lies with the Muslim Council. Our cabinet and PM know where the real power lies. Say anything against moslems and you will be silenced; publisize any moslem crime and YOU will be silenced and arrested. Don’t believe that? Just ask Tommy or the people in Rotherham.

  11. tim gallagher says

    Many Muslims have the mentality that ripping off the hated infidels in all sorts of criminal ways is perfectly OK. Claiming welfare they aren’t entitled to is one major way. In Australia, they have been into insurance fraud, through faked car accidents and bullshit injuries they claim they suffer, and also ripping off the child care centres where they have grabbed available government money and claimed they are looking after children who don’t attend the centres at all. I find the worst aspect of this scumbag is the fact that she has 8 children. A useless, bludging member of the UK society and yet she has that huge number of children who will probably all proceed to spend their whole lives bludging on the UK taxpayer. Totally irresponsible to have so many children she can’t possibly look after. She is certainly someone who is enriching UK society!!!. And I’ll bet there are huge numbers just like her. The geniuses who think that people like this scumbag have something positive to add to the society have a lot to answer for. It is complete idiocy to let such people into the UK or any other western country.

      Thanks for the comments, Michael and David. I find that people like this woman are quite obviously useless and are nothing but a drain on the UK taxpayer, who pay for their useless lives. Let enough people like this into any country and you will end up destroying the country’s economy. It is so dumb to think that these types of people are “enriching” any country. That quote from Cameron has to be one of the dopiest statements ever, although it is very similar to the sort of crap leaders everywhere make. I know we have had similar sounding statements from our political leaders out here in Australia, although I can’t recall the exact wording. Most politicians will be politically correct and say how Muslims make a positive contribution to our societies, blah, blah.

    Isn’t this dog going to pay back the money she stole? Her lies and those of her defence show she is unrepentant, and even if she was it should have been a prison sentence for showing such contempt for the so-called welfare state. UK legal system is rotten and unfit for purpose

  13. Giacomo Latta says
