And once again, you display for all to see your profound lack of knowledge.
The Qais story is as much a myth as the one that Pashtuns are the ancestors of Khalid bin Walid or Ali ibn Abu Talib and that the moon is made out of cheese. The Middle-Eastern "J" halogroup is rare amongst Pashtuns, who are predominantly R1a1 and hence not Semitic in origin. Most Pashtun tribes are descendants of the tribes that came down from Central Asia into India, from 1000BC until well during the period of the Delhi Sultanate (the last major tribe to descend from Central Asia into Afghanistan were the Khiljis or Ghiljis, as they are known today). The Abdalis came down during the era of the White Huns, which was again, one of the many ages when hordes of tribes from nomadic Central Asia swept into the plains of India and Persia for loot and to settle.
In fact, in ~500BC, Herodotus wrote about the tribes of Packtya and the Apridai people, both of whom were warrior-people that lived on the frontiers of India.
All of this proves that for thousands of years, Pashtuns were pagans, Hindus and Buddhists. The archaeological evidence is another matter altogether.
Seriously, read a book. Or better still, go back to the Random Thoughts thread where you belong and flirt with the other 12 year old girls over there and show your Afghan-ness and Muslim-ness to them.
