'''''Inspire''''' is an English language online magazine reported to be published by the organization [[Al al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula]] (AQAP). The use of the magazine is to increase the availiability of their message without challenges to their value system. The magazine is one of the many ways AQAP uses the internet to reach its audience. However, its message is also intended for the enemy. The magazine is a [[political warfare]] tool targeting the American and other Western governments, with the intent of inspiring [[homegrown terrorism]]. The tactic is used to generate over-reaction by the governments of its Muslim population with threats of individual jihadist attacks. Since AQAP lacks the 'Open Front' capabilities to assault the West, its tactic is to attack the West using covert operations run independently by radicalized individuals. They believe this strategy will eventually lead to an overt open front attack from Islam against the West.  The magazine features the logo of the "al-Malahim Media", AQAP's media arm, and contains articles by and about AQAP members and AQthe al-Qaeda core to promote "open source jihad."<ref name="hegghammer">Hegghammer, Thomas (6 July 2010).
