MADRASSAS FOR AMERICANS: On today's show we were joined by Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) and producer Ericka Pertierra, who discussed the new documentary "Karachi Kids." The film tracks two brothers from Atlanta whose father, a Pakistani immigrant, shipped them off to a Pakistani madrassa and informed them their return was conditional upon memorizing the entire Koran. The boys, their father felt, had become too absorbed in American culture.In 2004, the filmmakers discovered that the boys were being held against their will at the Jamia Binoria Institute in Karachi, one of Pakistan's most radical madrassas. Three years later, the filmmakers returned to discover that they had both become fully radicalized, and were readily denouncing America.
Congressman McCaul offered a sobering statistic: An estimated 600 American boys are currently being "educated" in Pakistani madrassas. Upon graduation, these youths return to America with the intent of spreading their message of radical Islam ... or worse.
