Bin Laden Bodyguard Living on the Dole in Germany
German authorities won’t deport the Tunisian Islamist citing “likelihood” of “torture” back home
According to German media reports, Osama bin Laden’s former bodyguard has been drawing huge welfare payments for the past several years after the 42-year-old Tunisian man and his family received permanent asylum in the country. German authorities made these revelations following a formal request for information submitted by the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.
German immigration authorities are refusing to deport the former Al Qaeda henchman, identified as Sami A., back to Tunisia, citing “the considerable likelihood” of “torture and inhumane or degrading treatment,” German newspaper BILD reported. German security services classify Sami A. as a “security risk” due to his past links and current activities, German broadcaster Deutsche Welle revealed. Another German newspaper described him as a “key figure in German Islamist scene.”
“A man, who according to the police is a threat to the general public, is funded by the same public to lead a carefree life. Nobody truly believes that the state cannot do anything to put an end to it,” the BILD lashed out at the government for not deporting the former bin Laden confidant.
These news reports once again highlight the absurdity of Germany’s open doors immigration policy. While elderly Germans increasingly face poverty, the country is turning into a safe haven for foreign jihadis.
On Tuesday, the regional German newspaper RHEINISCHE POST covered the details of the welfare payments going to Sami A. and his family:
Osama bin Laden’s former bodyguard has been granted asylum in Germany. As per the court’s verdict, he is not to be deported back to Tunisia. (…)
Sami A. gets 1167,48 euros from the city of Bochum each month. That is in accordance with the Asylum Seekers Benefits Act. This amount has come to light following a query made by the Alternative for Germany’s [AfD] Bochum chapter. The detailed breakdown of the payments was not offered in the response. The recipients are Sami A., his wife and two children. There are some additional [social benefit] payments as well. Thomas Eiskirch, the Lord Mayor of Bochum, turned down our editorial request to comment on the facts.
All this despite Sami A. being regarded as the key figure in Germany’s Islamist scene. North Rhine-Westphalia state’s intelligence agency’s [BfV] has been watching him since 2006. He was reportedly at the Afganistan[-based] Al Qaida camp in 2001. He personally denies any contact with the terrorist organisation.
Despite several attempts, Sami A. cannot be deported to the country of his origin, Tunisia, in keeping with the court’s verdict. The verdict was reaffirmed in April 2017. State’s Higher Administrative Court had decided in that instance that Sami A. can not be deported back to Tunisia even if the political situation change, as he could face torture there.

In the wake of the migrant crisis, during which Germany accepted more than a million asylum seekers, the number of individuals classified as radical Muslims in the country has crossed the 11,000-mark. In 2013, that figure was at 5,500—almost half of the current total. Welfare benefits have become a major source of income for these jihadis.
Many radical Muslims see Europe’s welfare system as a legitimate source of revenue since extracting booty from the non-believers is a sanctioned practice under the rules of Sharia warfare. Throughout the Islamic history, “Jizyah” protection-money levied on non-Muslims has been a big source of revenue of Islamic conquerors, a practice revived by the ISIS in Syria and Iraq.
Islamists immigrating to Europe have no qualms about defrauding the native taxpayer as they bring their jihad to the West. In fact, they openly justify their fraudulent behavior by citing Islamic theology. “The rest of the year they were busy with jihad and things like that,” UK’s leading Islamist preacher Anjem Choudary told followers in 2013. “People will say, ‘Ah, but you are not working’. But the normal situation is for you to take money from the Kuffar. So we take Jihad Seeker’s Allowance.”
While Islamists like Sami A. continue to draw huge sums from the public treasury, German pensioners are left out in the cold. During Chancellor Merkel’s tenure, the poverty in the country has reached historic levels. Nearly 20 percent of Germans are threatened by poverty, the German Federal Statistical Office claim. The poverty levels under her Chancellorship are “higher than ever since the unification of the Federal Republic and the German Democratic Republic [Communist East Germany],” the German broadcaster Deutsche Welle confirmed.
Despite the media outcry over the latest revelations, it is highly unlikely anyone can force the government to deport the bin Laden confidant or tighten the country’s immigration law. With Chancellor Merkel and her Socialist-backed coalition at the helm for another four years, Germany will continue to attract Islamist freeloaders who seek to wage jihad on the West and expect the unsuspecting “infidels” to pay for it.

“citing “likelihood” of “torture” back home”
And why would that be bad?
Surely his past actions merit torture or worse. How many maimings and death did he play a role?
What if the Tunisian’s just shoot the sob on sight day one? Everybody wins.

Will be Muslim by the end of 21st century.
Rather than put muslims on welfare, why not offer payments to germans to have more children?
1) Because the German government wants Germany to be Muslim by the end of the 21st Century, thinking that they will still be in charge instead of being beheaded.
2) It is hard to get Germans to raise kids, because the process is hard work for a lot of years and requires personal sacrifice. Not German characteristics anymore.
3) For those willing to do that work, and make that sacrifice, would you be willing to bring children into what Germany will become by the time they are raised? If you are part of the small minority who wants kids, it is better to immigrate out of Europe.
Unfortunately, Britain, France and Sweden also will likely be Muslim by the end of the century.
Simple solution for Merkel. Just send him to Mexico and point him toward the US border.
But isn’t he Merkel’s body guard now?
Snark.
Good thing we killed Bin Laden or he’d be running for their equivalent of mayor.
There can be no doubt that Germany has now gone full-Caliphate. Reason and rationality and the desire to preserve secular democratic values are totally absent from the present leadership, and, much of German society, it would seem (the Bavarians representing an exception to this).
The country that is supposedly eager to atone for its totalitarian excesses from the 20th century, now embraces Islamic National Socialism and its jackbooted, goose-stepping adherents, in the 21st, with all of the predictably deleterious consequences that come with that.
I would probably not deport him either.
Why let others torture him when I can torture him MYSELF?
$1,414 is too much to pay a bunch of loafing muslims to loaf, but it’s hardly “huge sums.”
Just to be clear, 1167,48 in this case translates to 1,167.48 Euros per month. According to Google, that’s $1,414 at current exchange rates, or $16.968 per year. No doubt their housing, medical and other benefits add up to more than that.
You don’t believe Germany provides other assistance (like US Section 8 housing allowance, SNAP, etc.)?
Yes of course, which I attempted to call out but no doubt did so in an ambiguous way.
To the German government, “Sami A.” is a war hero, having been instrumental in striking a blow against Western civilization.
And people look at me cross-eyed when I tell them taking a holiday in Europe doesn’t interest me anymore.
Just give him the Nobel Prize and let him get on with his life.
Is this guy another Obama son?
Bin Laden’s former bodyguard goes to the unemployment office…
Recruiter: What was you last job?
Sami A: Bodyguard.
Recruiter: I see. May we call your former employer?
Sami A: Ahhh….no, he was shot in the head…
Recruiter: Ok…We…will call you if anything comes up!
For how many centuries do Muslims have to speak SLOOOOWWWLYYY and LOOOOWWWDLYYY to us about their intentions?
Of course Anjem Choudery speaks about the “Jihad Seeker’s Allowance.” That’s exactly how jihadists from Egypt to Pakistan talk about American aid money we give them today. Which of course despite the fact that we give them aid to fight terrorism AS WE DEFINE IT they promptly convert it to fighting terrorism as they define it.
Killing Muslims without right, per Sharia. And that’s universal; it’s why Muslims are always victims per the crybullies. ANYTHING the U.S. or Israel does to defend themselves is automatically terrorism, because terrorism is defined by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation as killing Muslims without right, and we never have the right to kill Muslims while they always have the right to kill us.
Our existence is an affront to “Allah” and his “prophet.” Should we resist the Muslims’ attempts to conquer and rule us, that constitutes an attack in their eyes.
Can we quit f***ing around now. Islam is nothing more than a gang code. Let’s kill it.
I can back everything up using authoritative Islamic sources, so please test me.

The letter that Thomas Jefferson and John Adams wrote after meeting with the Tripolitan (Libyan) ambassador to London.
“It was written in their Koran, that all nations which had not acknowledged the Prophet were sinners, whom it was the right and duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave; and that every mussulman who was slain in this warfare was sure to go to paradise. He said, also, that the man who was the first to board a vessel had one slave over and above his share, and that when they sprang to the deck of an enemy’s ship, every sailor held a dagger in each hand and a third in his mouth; which usually struck such terror into the foe that they cried out for quarter at once.”
What’s changed since 1785? What can change, since Allah has told the Muslims that he has perfected their religion, and the Quran is the uncreated, unalterable, and perfect word of Allah?
Please, please, please, ask me to support this. I could write a book. I would write a book except no book publisher would dare accept it. Because they know like the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists they’d get killed for publishing it. While at the same time cowering on their knees and proclaiming the religion that wants to kill them a religion of peace.
Disgusting.
I’m feeling echoes of Tom Kratman’s “science fiction” novel Caliphate.
