New Media

Al-Qaida has found a new way to inspire it's followers. For a long time they have used the internet to recruit their followers, and now they have a better way of appealing to English speaking Muslims in the U.S. and England. An online magizine called Inspire has recently been published, and is now available to the public. It is a magazine which openly supports Islamic terrorism, with articles such as How to Make a Bomb in Your Kitchen (yes that's an actual article).

Like any other Islamic propoganda, it's purpose is to indoctrinate new Muslims, and at the same time it is a rallying cry for those who are not activly involved in terrorism. These individual muslims are predominatly in the U.S. and England, where there is a large amount of potential Islamic recruits. Bruce Riedel, a CIA operative, states that quote "This magazin is clearly intended for inspiring Jihadists in the U.S. or UK who may be the next Fort Hood murderer or Times Square bomber."

These facts are extremely crucial for Christians. What many don't realize is that Christianity has been at war with Islam for many years, and that fact is no different now. We are still at war with Islam, but many have been lulled into a false sense of security by believing that those who declare war on us are extremists. They are somewhat right, but what they do not realize is that the entire religion is devoted towards this extremisim. The Quran itself praises all who sacrifice their lives for the war against the infidel, and urges muslims to fight against those who promote the infidel way of life. All Muslims need is that sparking urge to rise up and achieve that blood lust. This magazine is a way of doing this, by "inspiring" the mass Islamic community into war against Christianity. Now more than ever Christians of all denominations must unite if we are to face this threat.
