Dick Dart - Muslim Convert

As long as he spends a fair amount of time genuinely attempting to gain paid work, and is poor, he's entitled to benefits. You can't force people to spend every waking moment searching for employment - that's a worthless existence. It's hard enough to find work without the absurdly long beard. What company would employ him. It'd be interesting to know if he quit the security work at the BEEB or was fired. If he quit, maybe he should not be entitled to benefits.

Maybe working nights as a security guard is enough to push anybody into rejecting their culture. Job satisfaction? 1/10. Socialisation? 1/10. Pay? Minimum wage. Prospect of promotion? Nil.

Rich is scary as hell...

The worst thing is his monotone demeanour...It's like his personality has been surgically removed and replaced with a simple dogmatic ideology. Things are much more complicated really, not black and white as he seems to profess, even a wingnut fundy who acknowledges the nebulous qualities of most of the "popular" ahadith must surely know that, but he doesn't seem to care. It's not like the Wahabis and Shi'ites don't beef something chronic. Hijab or Niqab? Capital punishment for drug running? Marajuana legality? He seems like a robot. It's quite gross. If he's going to act like a brain dead automaton jihadi, perhaps he should be treated as one. The Quran is so full of shit - hellfire this, dowry that, blablablablabla

I know this is US law but it is same principle. He is at least self employed. He is not available for work.

VIRGINIA BEACH -- God may provide, but the state may not when it comes to unemployment benefits for employees laid off by churches, synagogues and other religious groups.

Carol Bronson discovered that a few months ago after she lost her secretarial job at Temple Emanuel synagogue in Virginia Beach. Bronson assumed she could draw unemployment benefits, but when she filed a claim, she was denied.

It was a hard way to learn that under Virginia law, as in many states, tax exemptions for religious organizations include freedom from paying unemployment taxes, though the IRS requires they pay Social Security and withholding taxes.

"I had no idea that there would not be any benefits for me after leaving my job," said Bronson, who worked at the synagogue for two years. She's since found a job with a wholesale flower market.

Neither did Rabbi Howard Mandell of Temple Emanuel. The synagogue had no knowledge of Virginia tax law when it decided on a layoff, he wrote in an e-mail.

It's a tragic story, especially to see the relationship between the two brothers.

Edited to change muslic god to muslim god... I don't even know what a muslic is

I saw that. It was a really moving story. Richard Dart's brother was a really cool guy, he really wanted to understand his brother's choices but he just knew he was losing him. Richard was a Talliban wannabe, complete with the accent. I really felt for his brother.

Was?

Oh, please tell me he's dead, or in prison, at least! Nah, probably not.

I wonder how his trip to the "holy land" went. I kept trying to picture how he'd interact with the locals, greeting and speaking to them in Arabic, all the fancy-fundie tongue. Did those people accept him as a convert from the Western society or did they just blew him off as a pretender or as you said, a wannabe?

No, sorry to break it to you, I should have said 'is'

Or it could be Rex Dart's evil brother.
