Do Pashtun people have Arabian blood?

[Kushan Prince]

So is hamid karzai's wife technically an Arab because her last name is Qureshi?

[abubaker]

My family elders have always told me that we are Arabs, in fact they had a genealogy/lineage book on their family which they lost in the wars while migrating to pakistan.

Is it actually true? I dont know. I may do a genetic test one of these days to see if there is any truth to this claim, not that it matters much.

[ArabDude]

Then how come they look so Arab lol

[Joey_Gladstonezai]

We are not Arab but we are most likely a Semitic people hence the similarity. According to Pashtun oral tradition, we are descended from Israelites.

[DaZahroJaam.]

if I read Arab one more time, I may throw up.

Joey,

The theory of Pashtuns being isrealites is complete rubbish and can get you in serious trouble if you bring it up in Afghanistan. Like I said before pashtuns are an indo European people while arabs are semetic. The two are not related in anyway. The only thing they share is religon and that's it.

Um, no. In Afghanistan, some tribal elders have records of the family tree going all the way back to King Saul. Many great historical Pashtuns such as Nazo Anaa (Mirwais Hotak's mom), Khushal Khan Khattak's family, and the royal family of Afghanistan all related this origin. In addition, as I said there are still elders that have this knowledge. Actually, there is even a documentary about it on Youtube where a researcher interviews some elders. I would rather believe Pashtuns than what some bogus Western historians make up. It is also related in hadith by the Prophet Muhammad SAW and many Pashtun customs are Jewish like levirate marriages and placing pebbles on graves which other Afghans don't practice. Many or most Pashtuns also look very Jewish.

[afghan]

wrong!
what about during the islamization?

pashtun are islamized but not arabised like most african nations are. its another reason pashtun were mainly targetted by arab extremism, i hope they wont succeed.

King Saul didn't exist LOL. He was a complete myth created by jews and i have no idea how even relates to Pashtuns. Anyways recent Pashtun genetic tests show that they carry R1A blood type which ORIGINATES from central Asia. Also i don't know of any afghan customs where they place pebbles on gravestones.

In ahadith? really? strange because I would have thought the people at the time didn't even know who Pashtun people were.

OR even existed back then.

King Saul didn't exist? King Saul is mentioned numerous times in the Qur'an. He was described as the poor but mighty leader of Israelites during the era of Goliath. I hope next time you say something like that, you actually confirm what you say. King Saul is known as Talut in Arabic.

And you were born in Canada. Pashtuns do still practice pebbles on graves. It is a common thing among women. Trust me.

What irritates me the most is how some of you talk out of nowhere just for the sake of it. Very immature.

Manzareh, if you do your own research, you will discover there are not one but many ahadith pertaining to tribes from 'Khorasan' that are descended from Qais. The Prophet (saw) refers to them as the sons of Aaron and the Bani Israel who will fill the ranks of the Messiah's army.

Pashtuns did not exist 1400 years ago? So they suddenly dropped down from the sky some time after that, right.
