Yes, another issue of al-Qaeda's "mad" magazine has come out. No funny fold-ins, but plenty from the Usual Gang of Idiots.
Inspire is an ironic title, given its frequent fixation with jihad "martyrdom" and murder, but on the other hand, Expire might be a little too much truth in advertising. "Former Charlotte man publishes 5th edition of Al-Qaeda online magazine," by Molly Grantham for WBTV, March 31:
CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - The 5th and latest edition of Al-Qaeda's English-speaking online magazine was published Tuesday. "Inspire" is created in Yemen. Experts say it's meant to recruit Westerners to terrorism.
Samir Khan -- a former Charlotte 20-something-year-old -- is one of the editors. Khan used to live in north Charlotte with his parents. WBTV approached him one time to ask about his Al-Qaeda connections. He later fled to the Middle East.
In this 70-page issue, Khan writes one article.
Looks like Imam Potrzebie's submission was snubbed again. Maybe next issue.
It's not as violent as past articles he's authored where he has written that he's proud to be an American traitor, a devout Al-Qaeda follower and wished death and destruction to America. In this article he focuses on Allah.
"It appears in Islamic tradition that tests from Allah are a sign of Allah's love," he writes.
The most eyebrow-raising article in this issue is written by another former American, Anwar Al-Awlaki. It's called "The Tsunami of Change".
Crass.
Al-Awlaki basically rewrites history to say Islamic extremists are taking over the world, while America is getting spread thin and "bamboozling" nations and leaders.
He uses Hosni Mubarak as an example.
"[Mubarak] has stood firmly in the face of popular opposition from the entire Muslim world when he continued with the peace process with Israel," Al-Awlaki writes. "His support for the American invasion of Iraq in the first Gulf War was indispensable for America. He persecuted the Islamists in his country, filled the prisons, tortured, and killed, all for the sake of America. He did the dirty job for the Americans. In spite of that, how did the Americans treat him at his moment of need? They trashed him. He was conned by America. He was tricked, swindled, cheated or as Malcolm would have liked to say: He's been bamboozled. America duped him and then dumped him."
Al-Awlaki also discusses Obama's response to Egypt and Libya and how the "wave of change" is coming.
Terrorism experts and politicians alike have told us for years "Inspire" is just a big recruiting technique, whose main goal is to get others to convert to Al-Qaeda.
oh let this little piece of excrement rot in the ME! dont return back to the great West! stay in the ME and keep using your left hand at what it does best in the ME!
Not another "April Fool" story—although "Inspire" magazine has always sounded like a waggish hoax.
"'Former Charlotte 20-something-year-old' publishes latest al-Qaeda magazine"
.........................
Yes—clearly, the most salient thing about the publisher of the latest Al-Qaeda magazine is *that he used to live in Charlotte*.
Uh—"Go Tarheels"?
Of course, the most important thing is that he is a Jihad terrorist.
I've actually contemplated putting out a satire of "Inspire" magazine—I'm an art director and have put out any number of publications from start to finish-but I've refrained for a number of reasons.
Firstly, this would be one time-consuming and expensive satire. Then, the FBI—and some Jihadists—might assume it was the real thing. *Awkward!*
Someone might put a Fatwa on my head. I have no desire to become the next Molly Norris—or worse, the next Theo Van Gogh.
The main thing that has stopped me, though?
How do you parody something that is already so utterly ludicrous?
Islam just always makes fun of itself. It's a "gift" that keeps on giving.
I hope there is room on our "kill list" for Mr Kahn. Of course I think that list might need to be expanded to about 1.2 billion potential spaces.
Imam Potrzebie !?!?!?!
ROTFLMAO. Outstanding. Give that lady a cigar!

No, GI - this one's for real.But I'm both fascinated, puzzled, and yet ready to assist with regard to this that you wrote:

Firstly; yes, it may be time-consuming, but what the hell isn't these days?
Secondly, the power of satire cannot be overstated by those of us here writing for the cause. After all, GI, though you may have very legitimate, personal reasons (and insightful, too, I'm sure) for not wanting to become a target,the answer is simply to adopt noms de guerre for all involved.
Besides, Fatwas make us infidels instantly famous and powerful.
Finally, I would offer my services in the form of composer, bottle opener(Sam Adams)and six-foot-five inches of 210 lb bodyguard.
Thanks!
And if obama wasn't a muslim and in bed with the global islamic movement then I doubt Mubarak would have been abandoned. Sorry, but there is just too much eveidence of obama's treasonous activity these days that there can be no other reason than the fact that he's sympathetic to the islamic cause and a slave to the arab league...my God, obama is by far the worst president ever and simply enabling the jihadists in our midst.
My thoughts exactly, Mubarak was abandoned by Barry and Co. America didn't abandon him, as I would put money down that the vast majority didn't even know where Egypt is, much less who there leader is.
I'm no big fan of dictators, but I do enjoy the stabilizing presence they generally lend to that region of the world.
And the government of Yemen is under intense US pressure to work for inclusion of islamonazis within national life. "Freedom" is the most debased concept in the US presidential lexicon.
I don't think he's a Muslim. I think he's a far leftist. Same results.

I knew this was the real thing, Deebartok. Although when the first issue came out with the article "How To Make a Bomb in the Kitchen of Your Mom" a lot of people assumed it *was* a parody.

Definitely tempting. By the way, my husband is six-foot-three, while I'm just five-foot-one-and-a-half. (This is true). I'll keep you in mind if I ever find time to create this opus.
I'd like to have an article on finding the perfect Jihad Summer camp for the little ones—you know, the ones who are too young to send back to Dar-al-Islam for forced underage marriages.
I think that Jihad Camp in Gaza would be perfect, where the small fry learn to launch fake missiles at Israel. Fun for the whole family!

I'd like to feature an article on how to avoid "work accidents" (aka "premature detonation"). It would include such basic tips as turning off your cell phone until everything is in place, to avoid the embarrassment of a spam message from your phone company blowing things up. (This last really happened—I know you commented on that thread).
"Moscow: Jihad-martyrdom bomber planning New Year's Day attack blown up when unexpected text message set off her bomb early"
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2011/01/moscow-jihad-martyrdom-bomber-planning-new-years-day-attack-accidentally-blown-up-when-unexpected-te.html
I'd also like to have a mock "learned discussion" between Imams on whether victims of "work accidents" get those 72 virgins if they missed the chance to murder Infidels in the process. I've never seen a good answer to this question. I would put it in the most stentorian, humorless terms possible—which should make it extra ridiculous.
Then I'd like to have a "Dear Abby" style "Ask the Imam", where Ahmed complains that his "black widow" bride is constantly nagging him to become a "Mujahid", just like her late husband.
Ahmed will find—to his despair—that nagging him to strap on a suicide vest is the only thing he *can't beat his wife for*. In fact, the Imam will pile on with some nagging of his own—questioning whether Ahmed is a "real man"—or worse, whether he is a *real Muslim*.
I also think the current editor-that would be me—should consider finding a "Sheikh" to put out Fatwas on all previous "Inspire" editors as being "insufficiently Islamic"-as a result, each succeeding editor would have to outdo the previous ones in pure Islamic zeal.
With luck, they'd all have to go out and blow themselves up before even putting out a new issue.
And yes, I can't imagine a better title than Marisol's—it would simply *have to* be called "Expire Magazine".
Forget about the Feebies. They are so infiltrated by mohammadans that, if they believed YOUR magazine was for real, they'd let you alone. Maybe even get you a grant to keep publishing.
Sorry, potrzebie is too out-dated for me. I prefer CATERWAULERER.
