The Karachi Kids A Must See Documentary!

I just finished the film and documentary “The Karachi Kids” and was frighteningly shocked! I was unaware so many American children were being taught in these madrassa schools of hate throughout Pakistan. The real scary part is they will return to the United States after being brain washed in the religion of the Taliban. This is a must see documentary and the most powerful film of the summer sure to bring attention to a much needed debate about radical Islam to the home front.

Imran Raza, a Pakistani-American filmmaker, takes you inside Pakistani madrassas to examine the root of this radical terrorist idealogy. While there Raza shockingly discovers two American brothers from Atlanta, Georgia. 18 months later in march of 2007 he returns for a six month stay in the dangerous city of Karachi, to not only find the Khan brothers, but up to 80 other American boys in the same madrassa.

It is estimated there are more than 600 American children currently being taught in madressas throughout Pakistan. Some learning a radicalized version of the Koran called Deobandism, religion of the Taliban. There is no math, science, English, history or other subjects. They are taught to live for death and all of life’s many pleasures come in the afterlife.

It’s a story that will show you a world of abuse, loneliness and transformation into radical Islam the Karachi kids go through while in these madrassas.
