Texas Author Fights War on Terror With Terror
Terrorists are everywhere! And to keep them at bay, stay indoors, obsessively monitor outside activity, stock up on doomsday supplies and report any stranger with brown skin to the police. That’s Archibald Campbell’s solution to the terrorist problem, and he’s aiming this message at children who love “skateboards and Nascar racers.” In his 2-minute Flash-animated children’s book titled Why Do The Terrorists Want To Hurt Me?, Campbell supposes that “there’s nothing more confusing to a child than a lack of omnipresent dread.” Wha? This is either a brilliant parody or a real “moral guidebook” created by a father in Dallas. You decide.

pretty funny… i’ve done similar mock-propaganda aimed at the youth.
for example:
“join the g.o.o.n.s.”

I find this animation very inflammatory though the art and skill and effort put into it.
It teaches children to hate, resent and discriminate Arabs and Muslims.
I beg the administrators of CHF to remove this animation.

Obviously parody… the real clue is the face he’s making as the book states “keep the news on in your home”. He’s also peeing in his pants as he’s stocking supplies, not how you would depict something like that if you were being serious.
