"Your problem is not with us but with [President Barack] Obama. We have raised fair demands... So continue to pressure [him], if you want your relative to be handed back," he added, addressing Weinstein's family.  The State Department said that is in contact with Weinstein's family in the U.S. "The United States condemns kidnappings of any kind and we call for the immediate release of the individual and the prosecution of those responsible," said spokeswoman Joanne Moore.Those who know Weinstein in Pakistan were stunned over his kidnapping. "I am really shocked to hear," said Ehtesham Ullah Khan, a local gemologist. "He was a very nice person and, to me, he made many friends as compared to no enemies."  Well, almost no enemies, except for the hundreds of millions of muslims who hate Jews.
