Pashtuns as Iranian people?

[salman47]

I'm pretty sure we're, despite our culture is straight out different from persians/persianspeakers, balochis, kurds and ossetians.

I lived with them(except the Ossetians), and there is cultural/behavorial overlap. The overlap is huge when compared to Persians/Tajiks(talking about Afghanistan only), next comes the Balochis, then Kurdis... No Idea about Ossetians, but their language kind of sounds familiar, can understand a few words here and there.
I still don't get it how don't you guys see it? Most Probably you have never met any of those people yet.

At least I'm not smoking tons of heroine with you and your iranic brethren.

I trust sunni muslim sources as they don't need to be biased towards us matter of fact they have been historical our best friends.
Unlike your brethren who were our enemies. I did not say Arab but an iranics wanna be you jumped.

One hadeeth of our prophet pbuh is worth more than any Persian or western source.

Sorry kid you aren't Arian or iranics ubermensch.


Btw when I say Persian I mean Iranians and no way any Tajiks or dari speakers. They are our brother through thick and thin and our culture is near identical.

You know Persian =/= Shi'a right

The trustworthiness of ahadeth have no relevance here since there's not a single reference to Afghans or Pashtuns there.

Baloch have much more overlap than Persians, but for sure Pashtuns and Persians are certainly related and have many common reference points.

Ossetian language is related to ours, but Modern Ossetians are most definitely Russianized.
