Welfare fraud is as Islamic as suicide bombings. UK Jihadist cleric Anjem Choudary described welfare fraud as the Jizya payment that non-Muslims are obligated to make to Muslims. Jihadists routinely live off welfare while plotting terrorist attacks in Europe. And it’s routine for Muslim immigrants to sign up for every social benefits program they can, sometimes arranging fake divorces, describing wives as unmarried female relatives, to sign up as many of them as they can to siphoning off money from the Great Satan. Tamerlan Tsarnaev was no different, sponging off his America wife’s parents and off the state.

Marathon bombings mastermind Tamerlan Tsarnaev was living on taxpayer-funded state welfare benefits even as he was delving deep into the world of radical anti-American Islamism, the Herald has learned. State officials confirmed last night that Tsarnaev, slain in a raging gun battle with police last Friday, was receiving benefits along with his wife, Katherine Russell Tsarnaev, and their 3-year-old daughter. The state’s Executive Office of Health and Human Services said those benefits ended in 2012 when the couple stopped meeting income eligibility limits. Russell Tsarnaev’s attorney has claimed Katherine — who had converted to Islam — was working up to 80 hours a week as a home health aide while Tsarnaev stayed at home. In addition, both of Tsarnaev’s parents received benefits, and accused brother bombers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan were recipients through their parents when they were younger, according to the state. The news raises questions over whether Tsarnaev financed his radicalization on taxpayer money.

Of course he did. The properly devout Muslim kills infidels and steals from them in the name of the Jihad. That is his Islamic duty. Tamerlan Tsarnaev grabbed an American girl, converted her to Islam, got her started pumping out Baby Jihadists while keeping her working to bring in money and used that cash to plot to murder her people. That is Islam. From Tamerlan’s point of view, he was just doing what countless Muslim conquerors had been doing all along.
