London's sharp-witted mayor Boris Johnson recently portrayed radicalized members of the Islamic community as "wankers" and "losers".Speaking to The Sun newspaper on the subject of an MI5 report into Muslim extremism, Johnson said that young men who dedicate themselves to jihadism "typically will look at porn. They are literally wankers. Severe onanists."
The mayor also said that a lot of jihadist anger stems from an inability to get along with females.
"They are tortured," Johnson continued. "They will be very badly adjusted in their relations with women, and that is a symptom of their feeling of being failures and that the world is against them. They are rejected by women, they are not making it with girls, and so they turn to other forms of spiritual comfort—which, of course, is no comfort. There's no question that they lack self-esteem and that they lack boundaries and that they feel like losers."
Mr. Johnson topped it off with an understatement. "I don't think there's anything remotely controversial about what I have said."
Can there be any doubt that Johnson is absolutely correct in his assessment? You would have to be the rankest bleeding-heart, do-gooder to condemn him for these comments or his stated desire from last year that one of the British members of ISIS, "Jihadi John," be killed in a bomb attack. Those who feel that anything is wrong with what Boris Johnson has said—and you know they're out there (in more ways than one)—regarding Islamic militants have the problem. Johnson is saying what needs to be said, and God bless him for it.
If only we had more politicians of his mettle.
