al Qaeda Comic Book 4

Posted in War On Terror at 10:48 am by George Smith

The fourth issue of Inspire, al Qaeda’s glossy pdf magazine has arrived.

A couple excerpts show what I think.

From “Facing aerial bombardment in jihad“:

“Getting injured in jihad is probable and should be expected, whether large or small.”

“The explosions come in various sizes.”

“Don’t be overworked about getting injured in jihad though. Many brothers in jihad have experienced no pain with horrible injuries. I remember the brother who had his entire pinky finger blown off from a missile; it was a gruesome sight. Yet immediately after the injury he felt no pain and was enjoying a few jokes with his brothers! There are also times when the brothers around you will have awful injuries and you will be completely untouched. This is from Allah. Always hold good thoughts about Allah and be pleased with what he has ordained.”

There is a long, clumsily worded and frankly boring religious explanation on how stealing money from disbelievers is permitted, like “hunting and wood gathering.”

And there is an article on how to blow up a building:

“For a gas to burn in air it needs to reach a certain ratio in proportion to air.”

“The best gas would be the one that is available in large quantities and causes the greatest pressure and is odorless such as hydrogen. Propane is originally odorless but an odor was added after many accidents occurred because of the difficulty in detecting the gas.”

“Try to have the explosion appear as an accident.”

But if it were thought to be an accident how would you get credit as causing terrorism?

Don’t take my word for it. Inspire 4 is here.
