My daughter married a Pakistani fellow last year, she already had 2 children (girls) with him and is now pregnant with the 3rd...
He wants to take them all on a trip to pakistan to see his family but after all the bad things I've heard about how muslim men treat young white women and the horror stories about them running away with womens children.
Now I'm not racist but.... this scares me. I've tried to talk about how my daughter about how I feel but she says I am just old, racist and ignorant.
Now this is the worst part! I even tried to talk to him about it and he tried bribe me off by buying me a new car! I told him I don't want his money, I want safety for mygran children!
I'm really scared and I need advice.

Your fears may or may not be founded, but you do need to research this trip to be as informed as possible. Talk to others whose grandchildren have made the trip, go in person and talk to the British Embassy, etc. My only alarm in your story was the car...a bit over the top. Best wishes
