This is no surprise. The Qur’an mandates that Muslims must fight against Jews and Christians and subjugate them, making them pay the jizya (9:29). Since that payment is not being made, some Muslim imams in the West, notably one in Oslo captured on tape a few years ago, sanctioned robbing the kuffar and taking their money — in lieu of the jizya. Many Muslims in the West believe that they’re entitled to welfare benefits because they are Muslims and those who pay are unbelievers. So to take food stamp money and use it for jihad terrorism is just what the kuffar should have expected, had they been studying Islam, as they should have.
“Report: Millions in Food Stamp Dollars Flowed to Terrorists,” by Katherine Rodriguez, Breitbart, October 23, 2018 (thanks to Todd):
Millions of taxpayers dollars trafficked through food stamp fraud went to terrorists who funded their activities at home and abroad, according to an explosive report from the Government Accountability Institute (GAI).
Story continues below advertisementThe report from GAI, where Breitbart News Senior-Editor-at-Large Peter Schweizer serves as president, highlighted several instances where money obtained through Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits fraud went to fund acts of terrorism, including the 1993 World Trade Center bombings and the 2013 Boston Marathon Bombing.
Although this method of using food stamp fraud money for terrorism has been around since the 1980s, it gained notoriety when New York City detectives testified before a Senate subcommittee about the 1993 World Trade Center bombings.
Detectives told the committee that $125 million in food stamp fraud had “unwittingly” gone to terrorist activities.
One of the masterminds of the 1993 World Trade Center bombings, Mahmud Abouhalima, funded the attacks by operating a million-dollar food stamp fraud scheme out of a video store in Brooklyn.
But the U.S. government did not pinpoint how a lot of these terrorists used money from food stamp fraud to fund their attacks until shortly after the September 11 attacks in 2001.
The U.S. Treasury Department and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Office of the Inspector General (OIG) identified that many terrorists would get away with funding their illicit activities by using businesses known as “hawalas” to launder money.
A “hawala”— which is an Arabic term defined in English as transfer (or trust)— is a method of transferring money through informal agents from international networks, and many Muslim immigrants settled in western countries use the “hawala” method to transfer funds to family members.
GAI, citing a U.S. Treasury report, found that more than $7 billion flows into Pakistan alone through hawalas every year.
Because of the informal, simple nature of the transaction, the “hawala” method has also been popular among criminals and terrorists to launder money from the U.S. to the Middle East, Africa, and Asia without a paper trail.
In one such instance in 2015, federal agents discovered couriers for these “hawala” networks traveling with cash-filled suitcases on flights leaving the United States for East Africa out of Sea-Tac Airport in Seattle, according to the report. The act of transporting the cash itself was not illegal, but it raised suspicion among federal authorities.
One federal investigator analyzing the financial records of the hawalas found that ten of the couriers working for those networks had been on federal welfare benefits.
Investigators say it is very difficult to track the money moved around through hawalas, even though the federal government has known about the use of hawalas and their alleged role in financing terrorism for years.
But as federal investigators became more familiar with the welfare fraud mechanisms used to fund terrorist activities after the September 11 attacks, investigators have cracked down on a number of instances where terrorists have used the benefit fraud for such purposes.
In 2006, a judge sentenced a Chicago grocery store owner to more than four years behind bars for defrauding $1.4 million from the nation’s food stamp program and using it to fund terrorist activities carried out by Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
In 2011, the FBI arrested Waad Ramadan Alwan and Mohanad Shareef Hammadi, both Iraqi refugees, on federal terrorism charges for sending “money and weapons to Iraqi insurgents from the U.S.” Alwan became a refugee in 2009, citing persecution in his native country, when he settled in Bowling Green, Kentucky. After briefly holding a job in the area, he moved into public housing and collected welfare payouts….

When you see muslims driving around in luxury suvs and sports cars, while living on food stamps and welfare, you know something is wrong. Because muslims do everything in cash according to their religion, with no possible way to determine their wealth, they should never be eligible for food stamps, welfare, and other government programs.

A cousin of mine moved to my state several yrs. ago. Since the Mrs. and I know the way around the city, we went w. him to help him apply for some welfare assistance (as my wife and I were born in this state we could vouch for this guy that he’s ok). After the 6mo. waiting period for moving here from a diff. state (during which time his gal-pal and I supported him), he qualified for some peanuts assistance. So how is it that “refugees” can waltz right in and we shower them w. all kinds of welfare, subsidized housing,food stamps etc?

When islam was invented by the reprobate mind of muhammed it was for a time peaceful but when muhammed and his excessive baggage (family) and islam moved to medina, it turned into a robbers, thieves, murderers, lying stack of merda, etc cult that hasn’t change in some 1400 years. And so the sane person will expect more of the same from muslims of today.

It’s a reverse tax and Muslims aren’t exactly ambition or intelligent – certainly not the ones we are getting as “refugees”.

Actually, when it comes to fraud, dishonesty, deception and evil, Muslims are extremely ambitious and intelligent.

Foreigners from the south send money out of the country in the same fashion . Make it legal , tax the hail out of it . Charge a little less of a tax to electronic transfers between banks . Give the NSA and FBI something useful to do , keeping an eye on all those dollars . Secret Service also , some of that money is bound to be counterfeit .
DOJ needs to straighten out the DOA .

Makes you wonder. If a traveler crosses the border, he has to declare if he has more than 10,000.00 in cash. But Muslims don’t? Are we being profiled discriminatory?

LOL … if it has anything to do with food stamp funding you know at minimum and immediately that it came from Soetoro and his Democrat communist/Muslim Brotherhood Club.
