Up to 80% porn' in laptops siezed from Isis militants- Former US intelligence chief

Laptops that have been seized from jihadists belonging to the Islamic State group have been analysed and it was determined that they had "up to 80 percent porn," according to a former top player in the U.S intelligence establishment.


The group is also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (Isis) or the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil).

Lieutenant General Michael Flynn, former chief of the U.S. Defence Intelligence Agency,  who is publishing a book soon, was quoted as telling the German newspaper Bild that these pornographic films may be the driving force behind the brutalities that the jihadists carry out on women and children they capture, like keeping them as sex slaves.

Flynn's book on combating the radical form of Islam are being published in the German newspaper in a series.

He said: "We looked a ruthless enemy in the eye — women and children, girls and boys, raped and exploited. Beheadings were stored on a laptop next to pornography. At one point we actually had determined that the material on the laptops was up to 80 per cent pornography."

He also said: "These sick, psychopathic enemies were not only unimaginably hideous, but also treacherous and torn. We had to work faster to outwit them if we wanted to beat them."

It may also be noted here that former London mayor Boris Johnson, who is now a member of current U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May's Cabinet, had claimed that Isis jihadists were obsessed with pornography.

He had said in January last year: "If you look at all the psychological profiling about the bombers, they typically will look at porn. They are literally w*****s. Severe onanists."
