An Iraqi immigrant accused of fiddling more than £35,000 in benefits claims he did nothing wrong because he was acting under the rule of Islamic law.

Majid Hussain, who has not worked since arriving in Britain as a mature student in 1986, was paid income support, housing and council tax benefits for 13 years – and signed an annual assurance that he did not have any undeclared bank accounts.

But in fact during that time he had a secret bank account, containing a sum that rose from £18,000 to £36,000.

Hussain said the money was left in a trust by his father for his children’s education.

He said he had a duty under Islamic law and his own culture to honour an oath to his late father to preserve the money for the education of his four children, aged between nine and 18.

Therefore, he said, the money was in no way his.

Hussain’s income support was cut off after the account was discovered in 2010 but he is still claiming disability living allowance because he suffers from Crohn’s Disease, kidney problems and muscle pain.

  1. Parasites…….simply parasites living high off the Jizya…..

    Human garbage wrapped in the robes of religious entitlement and perched high upon the alter of multiculturalism.

  2. Straight from the horse’s mouth that he was doing no wrong under Islamic law. Proof that Islam teaches that thieving is ok.

  3. According to (modest) numerical calculations based on government statistics from wikileaks and media reports (see ‘read more’ section), a basic rough calculation show that the British government spend a minimum £18 billion a year from tax revenues on unproductive Muslims living in the country. While the government is trying to create £12 billion in annual cuts from benefit payments by targeting the handicapped, elderly and poor amongst it’s own citizens, they have ignored to reject from the country a group that is highly overrepresented above anyone else in welfare exploitation.

    That’s because the collaborating vermin knows that, if they take the proverbial axe to those specific ethnic groups, criminality rates will explode, to the point of rendering a normally functioning society impossible. In turn, to fundamentally tackle that problem, they have to be willing to make, a lot, of victims. Bar perhaps the odd exception, none of the elected or non elected western officials is willing to go there.

    This £18bn is just the actual cost. It has not factored in the cost of terrorism on the economy.

    One of the positive aspects of our turning over Islamic dictatorships to sharia ones, is that it will cause ythe economic downfall of these states. Now we are suffering the consequences of this war, but the nothing compared to the oncoming food shortages and resultant riots in Muslim nations.

    Whoi is going to feed these Muslims? Money from Saudis is in itself is not enough, unless the West allows that to be exchanged to food.

    Nor does it factor in the costs of daily wear and tear, which is greater at the hands of muslims (and other third world immigrants) than any other ethnic group.

    As for your other remark, I see that coming. If it depends on its current leaders, it’ll be the west who eventually will feed and support muslims abroad, like it already feeds and supports muslims domestically.
