In his text "War of the Worlds" Andrzej Jonas ponders the appropriateness of comparing the present war between Islam and Christianity to the religious wars of the Middle Ages. He attempts to determine whether terrorism is really a battle for souls. "What, then, is the point of this murderous strife?" he asks, and concludes that: "the premise seems trivially simple: leave our world to us! Let us rule and profit from it, and to benefit from contacts between your world and ours. We are not tolerant, and proud of it. There is no room here for human rights, religious freedom, political liberty. The law is to be interpreted by ourselves alone to serve our interests and ours alone. All attempts at loosening the collar we've placed around the necks of people in our world will be punished mercilessly and with all severity. You must accept this unconditionally. Otherwise our suicide-bombers will blow themselves up in your streets. We shall drown you in fire and blood if you do no let us do as we please in our world." Terrorism would then be a struggle to preserve a world based on principles poles apart from those which govern the Western world.

The computer screen does not do justice to the magazine’s cover – the contrast between the bright red letters and the black background, the lines forming an intersecting pattern composed of letters forming anatomical terms. The image on the screen does not reveal another thing, reserved for those who will hold the magazine in their hands: the magazine forms a triptych. It is cut in two-thirds, creating wings opening outwards. The third part of the booklet forms the Inside Gallery by Małgorzata Malwina Niespodziewana, and, just like a real gallery, it contains photographs, ready to be framed.
