Lawmakers Meet With Musharraf to Get American Teens Released From Pakistani Madrasa

Here is the problem with Muslims in the west - they want to come for the money - but once they arrive the whole western system is a culture shock - and when western women marry them - it is not unusual that the children are snatched and shipped off to some Islamic country away from their mothers. When western women approach marriage with Islamic men - it all seems kind of cute - and you are in love and so on - and then you take on his religion to please him - but when you start to loose your rights in these situations the whole things can hit you like a two-by-four. Loosing your children is a nightmare for any mother. Now this lady's children are likely being turned into jihadists - and they many not be her little boys anymore. There have been horror stories of western women being taken to the Islamic world and kept there as prisoners by their husbands and their families - if she leaves she loses her children.

WASHINGTON — Two American teenage boys studying for the past four years at a radical madrasa in Karachi, Pakistan, have been unable to leave, a situation that has led three Texas lawmakers to meet with Pakistani leader Pervez Musharraf to discuss their return, FOX News has learned.

The three lawmakers — Republican Rep. Michael McCaul, and Democratic Reps. Gene Green and Henry Cuellar — flew to Pakistan last week to discuss military affairs with Pakistani officials.

However, on their way to meet with Musharraf, McCaul mentioned to the others that these American were studying at a madrasa, or Islamic religious school. Green and Cuellar were unaware of the teens' plight.

The boys were apparently sent to Pakistan by their Pakistani father. Their mother is American and the teens lived in the U.S. until being sent overseas several years ago. The parents are fighting over where the boys should be. The mother wants them returned to the United States. The father wants them in Pakistan.

The boys are Noor Elahi Khan, 17, and Mahboob Elahi Khan, 16, and are from the Atlanta area where they are constituents of Georgia Rep. Hank Johnson.

Green told FOX News that Musharraf told the congressional delegation that he had been trying to close this particular madrasa.

"Just his body language and words told me he had problems" at this school, said Green.

"There's been a concern about madrasas who teach people how to hate America," said Green who noted the radicalized schools are teaching "militant Islam."

Green said it is not all that rare for lawmakers to get involved in "domestic disputes" between family members in different countries. But the congressman said his personal interjection has usually involved one parent in the U.S. and the other in Mexico.

The fact that the situation deals with one parent from Pakistan "makes it a little more complicated," said Green. "Sharia law is a little different. It may give preference to the father."

A Justice Department source told FOX News that Pakistan has revoked the teens' visas and officials there say they want to send the boys back to the United States.
