Inspire: The New Al Qaeda Online English-Language Magazine
Al Qaeda posted an online propaganda magazine in English on Tuesday, a move that could help the terror group recruit inside the United States and Europe.
The magazine, called Inspire, is being run by Al-Qaeda in Yemen, which continues to play a prominent role in the Jihadist group’s global activities.
It is easy to snicker at these efforts, but they must be taken seriously. Language which may seem corny or trite to regular Americans can have deep motivational meanings for young Muslims who are already predisposed to Jihad. And clearly America has a serious domestic Jihad problem with arrests and incidents becoming more numerous in the past year, from Boston and New York to Fort Hood and Little Rock, from North Carolina to California and from Oregon and Colorado to Georgia and Florida.
The Jihadists have already had great success in infiltrating our homeland. They recognize this and the new magazine “Inspire” is designed to cultivate those already successful efforts. This is not something to be taken lightly…
