There are more than 10,000 religious schools, the so-called Madrassas, in Pakistan. One of the Madrassas in the borderland between Afghanistan and Pakistan is different from the others – this is the place where a large part of the Taleban leadership was educated.

Children of Allah's camera crew was one of the first allowed to enter this Madrassa since the terrorist attack on New York. It is lead by one of the most powerful men in the fundamentalist Islamic world.
