American Boys Rescued From Pakastani Madrassa After 4 Year Inslavement

Two Pakistani-American brothers sent away to study at a fundamentalist religious school have been returned to the U.S. Their story is the focus of the film 'Karachi Kids.'

"We have over 600 U.S. boys in Pakistan madrassas, and we still have 78 boys in that particular madrassa."

About the Film, "Karachi Kids":
"A breeding ground for terrorists."

"University of Jihad."

Those are just some of the phrases used to described the Pakistani madrassa system, a network of Islamic schools where children as young as six are taught to memorize every verse and phrase of the Koran.

The Karachi Kids takes the viewer behind the shrouded curtain of a Pakistani madrassa to show a world of abuse, loneliness and transformation into radical Islam.

Filmed over the course of years, the Karachi Kids tracks the changes of two middle class brothers from Atlanta whose father, a Pakistani taxi driver enraged at the influence of American culture on his children, into a madrassa with instructions that they must memorize the Koran before they are allowed home — a process which takes about seven years.

A story of personal tragedy with national security implications, the Karachi Kids promises to create a national debate about the true nature of radical Islam in ways that have never before been told

All religious education is designed to re-engineer the child's mind, the Madrassa's are probably the worst, but some types of Christian and Jewish 'education' are no better.

Religious indoctrination is Child Abuse!

pakistan is reaping what it had sowed......the pakistanis were getting funded by USA and creating taliban militants to send over to india, afghanistan and the rest of europe to do terror attacks, now these very militants are no longer in the control of the pakistani establishment and are fucking up porkistan to take up power in porkistan.......this is called a shit boomerang...ha ha ah ah a ha ha ha ha a ha .

i guess other kids living in atlanta,watching hana montana ,high school musical,playing violant video games ,face booking are far more vulnerable and susceptible of being brain washed...that to me is child abuse too...these two boys are better off in the madrasa,what they were going through was classic home sickness.aside from that look up the internet and see the gems of people that have come out of this same school,propagating islam in the world,they are the beacons of light for the world.

that makes me laugh!!!..what these kids are experiencing is home sickness..try asking a kid at the boarding school or may be a young boy at the army training,it's tough and many people don't like it...that doesn't at alll mean that jamia binoria should be portrayed like that..what a sorry attempt by mr.raza....what utter utter shame
