New al-Qaeda Campaign Slogan: “Make a Bomb in the Kitchen of Your Mom”............
“Inspire is a 67-page glossy online publication that appears to have been published by al-Qaida's increasingly aggressive arm in Yemen. (Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, or AQAP, took credit for the attempted bombing of Detroit-bound Northwest Flight 253 on Christmas Day.) Yet for all of the attention the magazine has received in the Western media, it hasn't seemed to get much traction with the very audience it is supposed to attract: aspiring violent jihadists. Law enforcement officials say they can't remember when a media offering from al-Qaida has ever been the subject of so much discussion. The magazine, they claim, is different because of how very American it seems to be. It is written in colloquial English. It has jazzy headlines and articles that would seem mainstream — if they weren't about terrorism. "Make a Bomb in the Kitchen of Your Mom," reads one headline. Unsure what to pack when you leave for jihad? This magazine helpfully provides a list. Yet for anyone who tracks these kinds of jihadist publications, Inspire magazine is really just more of the same. The U.S. intelligence community's focus on it is bewildering, analysts say. ……..”
If they want a larger audience, especially the young and seniors, they need to jazz up their magazine. Okay, forget the seniors, they are a dying breed. Cover things of interest, like Linday Lohan and the law, the Palins’ romantic and political life, new American Prophets like Dr. Phil, Oprah, and Glenn Beck. Maybe throw in an occasional tidbit about the love life of Shaikh Osama and his lieutenants and cave-mates. Maybe add a section on how the violently pious young can hook up with other violently pious young Salafis, preferably of the opposite sex, all with pious intentions of course. If you get my drift.
I haven’t been able to hook up with that magazine’s website, yet. Maybe it has moved to a new undisclosed location.
