| New study evaluates English-language jihadist magazine |
| 2014-06-29 |
| In a recent in-depth analysis of Inspire magazine, START researchers applied the information, motivation, and behavioral skills model (IMB) of behavior change, an empirically tested and widely applied model, and found that the online English-language jihadist publication created in Yemen used religious arguments, terroristic propaganda and quotes from prominent American figures as tools to radicalize and recruit Western terrorists and promote a do-it-yourself approach to terrorism. As al-Qaida Central’s media node, as-Sahab Media recently announced that it will release a new English-language jihadist publication called Resurgence, this new study also provides an analytical template against which this new publication can be compared and contrasted to al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula’s Inspire magazine. |
