UK: Anjem Choudary and other jihad preachers got over £1 million of taxpayers’ money, by Omar Wahid.

Britain’s most notorious Islamist extremists were bankrolled by more than £1 million of taxpayers’ money while waging their campaign of hate …

A dozen supporters of Islamic State recruiter Anjem Choudary – many of them now convicted terrorists or jihadis who are fighting in Syria or have died there – were paid wages by a businessman who was handed huge sums of public money to run computer training courses in libraries and job centres. …

But, astonishingly, the businessman continued to receive grants from a Government agency nearly four years after his links to Choudary first became known. …

Choudary, 49, is now facing ten years’ jail for swearing allegiance to IS, having avoided prosecution for years even as his extremist groups were banned by the Government and his vile outbursts sparked outrage. … But it has never been revealed until now that ALM was relying on Government money to stir up hate against Britain.

Robert Spencer: 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.”

Suckers. Listen to him: “You work, give us the money. Allah Akbar, we take the money.”
