The materials presented in the magazine certainly reach out to more extreme activism, and the alluring methodology strikes much simlarity to that written in the book "The Islamist". Radical Islam seems to provide a path for young muslim moderates to engage at a University level where energy needs to be channeled and suspect nobel causes can be exploited. The end game can elevate a young moderate to rebel against the family and friends and reach out to a higher cause that is bent on a single idealogy that supports any means of violence and destruction to achieve martyrdom. All this driven and based on zero tolerance for others beliefs, irrespective of humane and just ways of respecting human life. In the aforementioned book, the central figure got out of the extremist movement before it was too late, and the real agenda was fully exposed.
