So Al Qaeda Publishes Its Own Magazine In English? [View all]

Apparently the world's number one terror organization publishes its own free (I assume) online magazine in English called "Inspire".

Does anyone else find that a little strange?

For me it brings to mind a few questions, especially in this heavily monitored world we live in nowadays...

Where is this magazine based, who writes for it, why is it allowed to continue and spread its propaganda?
