Since we informed Sunlit Uplands readers two days ago about a new documentary disclosing that American children are receiving training in a Taliban-backed madrassa in Pakistan, two children have been returned to their homes in Atlanta.Imran Raza, the director and executive producer of the documentary "Karachi Kids" who discovered up to 80 American children in a Taliban-backed madrassa in Pakistan released the following statement regarding the return of two American children:
I am grateful for the safe return of the two American children from Atlanta from a Taliban- backed madrassa but the mullah claims to have up to 78 more in his institution. The headmaster comes to the United States once a year and personally recruits American children to enroll in his madrassa.
The remaining 78 children must be returned to the United States. This pipeline to jihad must be closed.
Let me be clear - these children do not learn math, or science, or liberal arts. They learn one thing - they memorize over the course of seven years every verse of the Koran coupled with the radical interpretation of their teachers.
This is just the first step in integrating these children back to American society. I am proud we did our part so we could say 'Welcome Home."
It is imperative that Members of Congress and the State Department undertake an accounting of just how many Americans are in the other 20,000 madrassas in Pakistan. Hundreds remain behind.
The Karachi Kids is a documentary about American children in the Jamia Binoria madrassa in Karachi Pakistan. A trailer of the film is available at www.karachikids.com.
Whatever Imran Raza is talking is just false. In this CNN video he's taking responsibility of his own lies.

Investigate before you post hate filled messages about Islam, the religion of peace.
The documentary and what Imran Raza said aren't lies or hate filled messages, only some confusion which has later been disputed by the State Department. Visit www.frontpagemag.com/readArticle.aspx?ARTID+32057 for more details.
ReplyDeleteNo one is saying Islam or being Muslim is bad. The film presents a valid concern regarding American Muslims being trained to believe that life is lived purely for the afterlife, the risk that the school trains students in terrorism and the easy return to the US because of citizenship, just like the four individuals who performed the bombings in Longon that inspired the documentary to begin with.
