Will McCants discovers the newest jihadi scheme: indoctrinating children through a knockoff of a Saturday morning cartoon. Adam Rawnsley explains the plot:
So buckle up. Action and tales of daring-do await you with the al-Qaida Super Friends. Yammani promises that it tells an “exciting story and clarifies truths like the weakness of some in their religion, defending the Prophet, the collaboration of rulers with the West, and other Islamic matters.” If the animated depiction of al-Qaida’s geopolitical narrative hasn’t gotten your adrenaline pumping already, then the “operations surrounding real events among the heroic deeds of the mujahids in the Peninsula of Muhammad, including incursions, clashes, and assassinations” should have you glued to the screen. Take that, Thundercats!
