London Mayor Boris Johnson described on Thursday the young men who join the Islamic State (IS) and become jihadists as born losers who opted to be extremists as their outlet for being rejected by women.

He told the Sun that psychological profiles of bombers say that they love to watch porn and thereafter masturbate. Johnson used the terms wankers and severe onanists.

Onanism is the Biblical term for self-pleasuring by men or the spilling of their seeds instead of having sex with women. It was for these practices that God punished the cities of Sodom and Gomorra.

Johnson explains, “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.”

He said the jihadists could be compared to juvenile delinquents who resort to drugs or other criminal activities to escape from their problems or express their angst. In the case of the young recruits of IS, the mayor said becoming jihadists makes them stop feeling like losers.

His description would include about 600 young Brits who have traveled to Iraq and Syria to be part of the caliphate being established.

In a terror conference in London in early January, British Foreign Minister Philip Hammond said those returning jihadists pose a very significant risk to the UK to launch an extremist attack.

Johnson adds, “They are just young men in desperate need of self-esteem who do not have any particular mission in life, who feel that they are losers and this thing makes them feel strong – like winners.”

Besides the young onanists, there are also about 30 British women in northern Syria who are encouraging other UK females to launch terror attacks in the United Kingdom. They are mostly based in Raqqa and in the age bracket 16 6o 24.
