The excerpt as follows:
"When Barack was 20 years old in 1981 he spent 3 weeks in Pakistan.
Pakistan was in turmoil in 1981 and ruled by martial law. Millions of Afghan refugees were living in Pakistan, while the Afghan Mujahedeen operated from bases inside Pakistan in their war with the Soviets. One of the leaders that based his operation in Quetta, Pakistan was bin Laden (a.k.a. "the sheik"). Pakistan was on the banned travel list for US Citizens at the time and all non-Muslim visitors were not welcome unless sponsored by their embassy for official business. There would have been only 3 reasons for a young Westerner of Muslim faith to travel to Pakistan in 1981: To participate in Jihad, which is the duty of every "true believer"; for religious education in a Wahabbi sect -Saudi funded- Madrassa; or in order to purchase drugs from the drug marketplace. In that year Pakistan was by no means a tourist stop nor the place to hang out with someone's family."
