Why make Islam Who What How,
a Kids’ Video?
How did I think of doing it?
Simple fun easy truth about Islam,
facts about Islam.
Just 9 minutes. For age 8 and up.

Someone asked me questions: What made me create a short simple fun truthful kids' video about Islam? What got me to make Islam - Who, What and How: the 3 central concepts of Islam and loads more, all in just 9 minutes? And whom do I want to reach?

I'll start with the second question: I want every kid in the West to see it. Ideally it would be through the schools which currently teach material about Islam that, at best, can be described as not telling the full truth. More likely, it will be through other sources, most likely online.

Then, what made me create the video?

I'd never made a kids' video before. I hadn't done anything remotely like it - simple drawings, a sweet teacher talking in a sweet voice about Islam to her students.

So why do something like that? I very much care to reach people. I couldn't see anyone who was trying to reach kids with the truth about Islam in a quick easy way. Islamics, on the other hand, have done a great job of getting books like "I Love Islam" into schools throughout the West.

What could I do, as one person?

One day I watched a video on doing a project in a week - and the idea for the kids' video came to me. Next came a week of long days working on it. The script. The drawings. Recording the voice. Getting all the words onto the video.

Much harder work has followed: getting the video out into the world. It quickly reached about 11,000 people, because a few major counter-jihad blogs posted about it. More recently, the Facebook posting reached over 90,000 people. Plus translations have reached thousands more people in Portuguese, French, Czech, Russian.

But there are millions of kids in the West.

It's a big challenge. Please watch. Please share.

Ideas welcome for getting the video out into the world in a big way.

By the way, while I made Islam - Who, What and How for kids, maybe it will prove more important for adults - getting the word to people who usually resist listening.

We will see. The adventure continues.

All the best, and thank you in advance for anything you do,

Elsa

PPS. You may have noticed, at the top, that now there's a DONATE button. One of the many things I'm trying to figure out: Is there some way that this work I'm doing can become something that earns money? Suggestions welcome.
