There are fraudsters of every creed, but only in Islam does living off the work of others have divine sanction.
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)
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.”
“Fraudster made up 188 fake kids to rake in £1.8m in benefits scam – using a detailed notebook to keep track of them all,” by Holly Christodoulou, The Sun, March 6, 2022 (thanks to Inexion):
A FRAUDSTER invented 188 fake children to scrounge more than £1.7million in benefits.
Ali Bana Mohamed drafted in relatives and friends to submit bogus claims in around 70 different names over a nine-year period.
The ringleader, 40, even hijacked real people’s identities to carry out the scheme targeting the tax credit and child benefit system.
He raked in £1,766,594.87 in total using 188 fictitious children, which he kept track of in detailed notebooks containing bank details for each kid.
Mohamed’s racket was discovered when officials noticed the same number was being used to call the tax credits centre in relation to separate claims.
The scammer, who was already serving 16 years for drug offences, has now been jailed for three-and-a-half years to run consecutively.
His five co-defendants were also jailed for helping carry out the fraud between April 2007 and July 2016.
Liverpool Crown Court heard the six Somalian natives lived in Manchester, Birmingham and London.
Mohamed Maye Omar helped obtain birth certificates that could be used by Bana Mohamed to carry out the fraud….
Bana Mohamed admitted 29 fraud offences, while dad-of-six Maye Omar was jailed for two years after being convicted of fraud….
John Allan says
It takes a special kind of government employee, to ‘misidentify’ 188 fake offspring!
Especially when the ‘father’ is drawing British benefits … in USD!
mortimer says
Robert Spencer identifies the source of the fraud: “…only in Islam does living off the work of others have divine sanction.”
Indeed, the late Anwar Awlaki (mentor to many jihadists) wrote about this very topic … how to live off of the non-Muslim KUFAAR through theft, while violently attacking them.
From ‘The Ruling on Dispossessing the Disbelievers wealth in Dar al-Harb’:
“Islam stipulates certain conditions for taking the wealth of the disbelievers. According to our classical scholars, it becomes permissible to take the disbelievers wealth for jihad-related purposes even if one is without an army or an Imam (caliph)… The greatest form of income is that of the spoils of war and the greatest profession is being a soldier in the path of Allah. The income generated from booty taken by force from the enemies of Allah is purer and more virtuous than income generated from being a businessman, an engineer, a physician, or a farmer, simply because that was the source of income that Allah destined for his Messenger Muhammad (SAW). Working as a mujahid is sunnah … The Hanafi’s stated that a Muslim is “permitted” to steal money from the disbelievers in dār al-ĥarb but they didn’t state that there is a reward in doing so. They related that it is similar to hunting or wood gathering. In other words it is similar to making a living using other halal methods. However, we as Muslims should seek the wealth of the disbelievers as a form of jihad in the path of Allah.”
It is clear, then, that Islam encourages theft from the kufaar when the Muslim is involved in jihad, but theft on its own may even be considered as ‘ECONOMIC JIHAD’, since it hurts the KUFAAR.

A very well written and informative post Mortimer.
somehistory says
It took way too long to recognize that the same phone number was being used to call for benefits.
Call any government agency and one of the first things they do, is get your phone number and it goes in their data bank with a name and address. Call them more than once, and they already know these things, but have the caller tell them anyway.
Years of collecting this money prove that ..the workers at that agency need some more training and the mozlums need to be sent back to Somalia…with all of their fake children.. Any money should be left behind when they are booted.
gravenimage says
Agreed–my guess is that employees were loathe to look into this lest they be accused of “Islamophobia”.
mortimer says
Reply to GI … “(administrative) employees were loathe to look into this lest they be accused of “Islamophobia””.
Oh, yeah!
Check Burry says
More likely they are of the same group, many in gov offices in UK, well everywhere.
john smith says
He’d still be collecting the benefits had he used different phones
somehistory says
He’d need a lot of different addresses and in the U.S., a lot of different bank accounts.
Fitna says
This is just the one who got caught. I guess it’d be Islamophobic to check other Muslim benefits scroungers to see if they’re also leeching off the system. This guy was also into drugs, what a model citizen he was like his fellow parasites from the cult of Mohammad.
It reminds me of a police report in Sweden which showed that 80% of the rapes were by foreign-born (ie-Muslims). There were calls to deport, but they didn’t want to be seen as racist. Such imbeciles.

If I recall correctly, some researcher got in trouble for pointing to that fact.
gravenimage says
This is true.
Fitna says
Indeed SH and Graven, its the Left fascists helping Islamic fascists/rapists/terrorists, both working together to destroy our freedom and way of life.
Eleanor says
Fitna, the ‘scam’ that annoys me the most in the UK is the muslim male who has four wives, all living in separate accommodation, with their kids, all fathered by this person, and all receiving UK welfare benefits. And it is alllowed. You can bet the wives don’t see much of that money.
Fitna says
Agreed Eleanor, even though polygamy is illegal in most western nations. Muslims are playing a risky game, if their welfare is cut off how will they feed their 4 wives and 20 kids?
Nowadays you usually need two incomes to raise kids. If they throw Muslims off welfare, they’ll cry racism and will riot. The authorities are afraid of them so they keep giving them their hush money….what happens when the treasury runs out?
Check Burry says
Then there is the We dont pay rates, widely known as Council Tax, as they live in 4 mosks, ie houses designated as religious building, places of warship.
Which idiots in gov came up with that get home free clause.
Mind you the UK is being accused of dealing slowly with the forms etc to let these poor folk from Ukraine in to UK, yet there were no forms in site when the many illegals landed on our south coast, no not one minutes delay in getting them on shore, yet we seem to be sticking to rules of assylum with these Ukrainian folk, who I have no problem with offering them sanctuary. I have offers of many bad things for putin. How about the Stocks for a month or two, no water, rotten vegables.
Fitna says
Concurred CB
Eleanor says
Of course, there’s no mention of any reimbursement of the stolen taxpayer’s money, or any word about deportation to his country of origin when he gets out, if he isn’t British born.

UK: Muslim makes up 188 fake kids to rake in $2,337,840.99 in benefits scam

Good grief–why did it take so long to catch him? How many more like this are out there in the UK and the rest of the West?

This is true–in Islam productive labor is considered fit only for slaves, and Muslims are supposed to live off Jizya, raiding, ransom for kidnap victims, piracy, and slavery–and the modern iterations of welfare, welfare fraud, and foreign aid.
Fitna says
Sadly true Graven, and they’re succeeding wildly right under our nose.
As I recall for example of the Muslims known to be involved in rape-gangs only a small percentage ever get arrested and face jail and most of the time the sentences are lenient.
These stories we here of fraud and other crimes are likely the tip of the iceberg. The govt is complicit in covering up these crimes and using kid gloves with Muslims, very infuriating to say the least.
Fitna says
I can guarantee you if any of us non-Muslims were caught for the same crimes, they’d throw the book at us…no special privileges for infidels.
I guess if we became as violent and as dangerous as Muslims, we’d get more respect, funny how that works. Ofc I’m not advocating for it just a thought expt.
Jayell says
This lot are all at it over here in the (dis)United Kingdom, even muslim local councillors and (i believe) one muslim MP who seem to presume that social housing and public funds are their own personal property. But the biggest ongoing ‘legal’ scam is so-called ‘single parent’ housing allowance whereby the multiple wives of islamic polygamous marriages are given scarce local authority housing resources because British law does not recognise any responsibility on the part of the polygamous ‘husband’ to provide for his harem, who are therefore deemed to be ‘single mothers’. Meanwhile the rest of us just end on the streets. That explains how places like the ‘Islamic Republic of Tower Hamlets’ mushroomed into existence so quickly, courtesy of the Bitish taxpayer.
By the way, it’s nice to be able to speak to you good people again on this site again after having my attempts at contributing blocked for a long time by some ‘captcha’ thing which I’m afraid I’ve no desire to understand..
OLD GUY says
Makes you wonder how many of these muslim racketeers slipped into America to get on our welfare system and live off of us. Not like we already don’t have enough free loaders sucking at the American tit. Helping those who need help is one thing, put supporting those who simply don’t want to work I don’t agree with. Sadly when convicted the UK will still be supporting him. Deport him with just the close on his back along with the rest of his family.
