I don’t think there are many people unaware of what London mayor Boris Johnson said about young male Muslim jihadists yesterday “If you look at all the psychological profiling about bombers, they typically will look at porn. They are literally w***ers. Severe onanists. They are tortured. 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. . . “
This has not gone down well. Well it wouldn’t would it? The music station I listen to during the day has hourly news which I think they take from Sky. At 4pm an irate young man with an accent best described as northern asian complained about disrespec’. At 5pm was a clip from the Friday sermon of the Iman of a Leeds mosque. Also irate. I can’t find a link to him but a link to two peeved young men can be found here.
However from the newspapers:
General Secretary for the Muslim Women’s Network Mussurut Zia slammed the Conservative politician’s comments as “irresponsible” and “the definition of terrorism”. Ms Zia said the “sweeping comment” made by Mr Johnson labelled “all young Muslim men as losers”. “If you look at the definition of terrorism it is to incite fear into the hearts of people – this is what he is doing,” she added. “I feel they are going to lead to a greater divide.”
Khalid Mahmood, a leading Muslim MP, attacked the mayor for his “crude” terminology. . . accused the Tory politician of promoting inaccurate views of young men susceptible to radicalisation. “It is those in higher education with in-depth knowledge of Islam who are more likely to become trapped by warped ideology.” A* in Practical Chemistry doesn’t stop them being obsessed with porn and do what.
There is an election in 99 days; we live in interesting times.

Sez the Muslim MP – “It is those in higher education with in-depth knowledge of Islam who are more likely to become trapped by warped ideology”.
Half right, Mr Mahmood.
Let’s rewrite, eh?
“It is educated Muslims with an in-depth knowledge of Islam who are more likely to Go Jihad”.
It’s a pity that nobody will think, next Question Time, of putting the following questions to Mr Mahmood. “Do you regard yourself as educated?” (Has Mr Mahmood undergone tertiary education of some kind? I’d assume so). “Do you regard yourself as well-instructed in your religion?” And if he answers yes to both, then: “If that is the case, looks like we had better keep a beady eye on *you* in case, one fine day, you decide to Go Jihad on us, whether here in the House or anywhere else in the UK”.
Might be fun to watch him squirm.
