Sexual Frustration Driving Western-Raised South Asian Kids to ISIS

South Asian kids raised in the West are interested in sex and sports like everyone else. But immigrant parents who never adjusted are driving those kids into the arms of killers.

LONDON -- A generation of domineering South Asian dads are being blamed for exacerbating the epidemic of young sexually frustrated kids in the West skipping town to go and fight for the so-called Islamic State.

After two years spent with dozens of convicted terrorists, repentant Islamists and a former fighter known as the Godfather of British Jihad, an Emmy award-winning documentary maker says there was a common theme running through almost everyone she interviewed: immigrant fathers who couldn’t deal with the more open sexuality of the West, and who took out their own frustration on their children by abusing them and repressing their sexual urges.

“Nine times out of ten, look to the dad and you’re gonna find he did something; beat them,” Deeyah Khan told the Daily Beast. “I would blame the fathers absolutely.”

Khan explores this subject deeply in her new film, Exposure: Jihad which is premiering on ITV in the U.K. Monday.

Herself a child of immigrants from Pakistan and Afghanistan, her film explores a host of other factors that contribute to the radicalization of young men and women. But parents who struggled and failed to adapt to the Western world in which they were raising their children showed up time and again.

Strict fathers, and sometimes mothers, often refuse to accept their sons’ fascination with girls, sports and the rest of the modern world—helping to create a situation where they felt isolated in their own homes just as they did as minorities in wider Western society. None of this forces young people into the arms of the jihadis, of course, but it helps

Who you gonna believe, our fearless, noble elites, or your lying eyes?

Of course all cultures are equal.

Lefty wet dream attack I see:
1 - They’re frustrated they can’t have sex, so JIHAD!
2 - Blame the man.

Pathetic.

The late Lawrence Auster used to write about the Non-Islamic Theories of Islamic Terrorism. In other words, Western liberals think of all sorts of reasons rather than Islam itself to explain away Muslim terror.

Remember a whole line of leftard thinking was based on Freudian quackery about sexual frustration. If we would have only knowed that our “diversity” needed a blonde girlfriend (sperm dumpster) then all would be well in the world.

Karmani says misguided teenagers fell for idea that heading for Iraq and Syria would make them cool. “I’m there with my gun, which is more or less just a penis extension, out there,” he says. “Look at me, I’m a mujahid now… I’m powerful now, I’m sexy now, girls are going to look at me, and there’s girls who would wanna become my bride now.”

I wouldn't go anywhere without my cool penis-extending gun, but this is nonsense. While her theory may be true in some cases, Western promiscuity produces a lot of losers who can't keep up -- people who just don't win at the game -- and those are the people who turn to terror groups.

I was on a bus in London a couple of years ago and a “South Asian” daddy kicked his little girl down the stairs to exit. Say what you will about NYC, I’ve never seen THAT.

How does the theory make sense? You’re a girl who wants a cool Americanized boyfriend and to have sex.

So when your father prevents that - you join a radical islamic army that may stone you to death if you have sex or a cool boyfriend?

Does not compute, though I certainly agree muslims are doing all kinds of kooky stuff because of sexual repression.

Well, the only point I agree with is that Islamic parents beat their children and are generally cruel to them - that’s why I used the example of the grown man throwing the little girl down a short flight of stairs. Children like that grow up very angry.

I believe this easily. There are a lot of horrible Muslim fathers and this could be seen as a youth’s only shot at escaping them.
