With all the talk about Welfare Reforms and the vote in the Lords tonight over a £25,000 cap LM could not resist some views about the implications for Muslims.
Generally speaking should an equality impact be taken on these proposed reforms there is little doubt in my mind they would show a disproportional impact on Muslims. Sadly the current Muslim generation have appeared to turn the safety net of the welfare state into a bit of a fishing net and this coming from a lefty albeit with libertarian tendencies.
LM has highlighted the numerous Housing Benefit scandals here, here and here involving Muslims who produce like rabbits with little ability to sustain their growing brood then turn to "kaffir" UK Taxpayer to bail them out. LM is in little doubt that the current Welfare State has become our cancer as we engage in a culture of dependency rather than removing our predilection for being workshy to go out and earn an honest living.
Clearly one has to generalise however, gone are the days when the first generation of Muslims largely Pakistani immigrants who had a remarkable work ethic would toil in the mills up north. Now there is a significant increase of largely Somali immigrants whose first word in English seems to be benefits as they battle each other to see who gets to the Social first.
LM has always and continues to believe in a Welfare State based on need but some Muslims are frankly taking the system for a ride yet we have complete silence within the community because so many are it including elected politicians. However, ignoring the politics, and notwithstanding complete silence from Imams in large part because they are also on the scrounge permit LM to introduce a focus as Muslims on the religious aspect of seeking money either via charity or begging particularly and ironically in a Non Muslim country where we enjoy a better standard of living and freedom that we could only dream of in our own banana republics.
According to Nahlawi it is unlawful to ask for money or other worldly advantage from someone one has no right to ask unless there is a necessity to. The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said "one of you keeps begging until when he meets Allah most high there is not a piece of flesh left on his face" which is interpreted as referring to anyone who asks when it is not permissible to do so. The degree of necessity that permits begging is for example when one is unable to earn a living due to illness.
Muslims who beg like here should be mindful of our duties as Muslims and yes because of the damage the Welfare State is doing to the Muslim mindset LM supports this Tory measure not on political grounds but on religious grounds to begin the process of weeding my community off the drug of welfare dependency.

This issue is the one issue that SERIOUSLY pushes all of my buttons in a major way.
ReplyDelete1.) People who aspire to live in a "free (council) flat"
2.) People who work off the record, pay no contributions and claim whatever they can
3.) People who use Islam as a means to getting a flat (tell the gov. you are a gay muslim and that your parents have thrown you out - they will give you a flat)
4.) People who regard non-claimants of welfare (such as those who buy their own homes) as stupid, or unintelligent
5.) People who pretend to be sick / disabled / a carer or any other form of pretend to get an extra £10-20 off the gov,
6.) People who have never worked in UK who come here, claim and then live in another country
7.) People who claim flats and rent them out for profit
8.) People who do any of the above and bitch and whine about the state of the country
All people mentioned above, like the above, or think like the above are maggots and leeches and should be regarded as such. How can you take from the sick, poor and disabled for your own person gain? That is a person most vile, disgusting and despicable.
Disgusting. These people disgust me.
How can anyone not have an issue with this? How can you encourage people to do this?
This is one issue where I am angry with:
1.) People that do it
2.) Government for allowing it
3.) Immigration policy of UK government
4.) Community acceptance of it
Would you accept it if your brother broke into an orphanage and stole money from them or if he stole money from a man in a wheelchair? If no - then you should not accept his false claims off the welfare. Its the same thing. No difference.
Shame on you for recycling the same old lines regarding the Somali community and continuing the obvious campaign of demonisation that is going on in the wider media. To equate a few bad apples with a large and diverse community is appalling and disgraceful particularly coming from a so called Muslim. I question your true knowledge of the Somali community in this country. Although many have arrived since the 1990s with the disintegration of the Somali state, many others have lived and contributed to the fabric of the Islamic and wider society of this country for decades and were one of the first Muslim communities to settle in this country in any number. Therefore, you would be well advised to get out more and to mingle with other Muslims other than from your own small minded community and to stop using the same demonising tactics of the likes of the Daily Mail.
