So maybe the State of Afghanistan is not even 300 years old....?

Yes. And what do you call the followers of Sanatan Dharm? Certainly not “Hindus”???

Only 35%, i thought it was more like 50%.... Oh...I am sure some Afghans will not agree that Afghanistan was part of Iran until 1856.... But wait this means the 5000 year old history of the State of Afghanistan is not true(????) So does a colleague of mine who is an Afghan (Pukhtoon) from...

And Hinduism is what Britons gave and linguistically means a geographic place called Hind and “ism”. Can you imagine something called Bharat “ism” or Russia “ism”. I do not like the term “Hinduism” to refer to the Dharm of the Vedas or Puranas. It is not found in them and it is a colonial...

What do you mean by legitimate claim? I am sorry I do not follow. As far as I know Afghanistan since the inception of Pakistan has not de jure accepted the Durand-Khan border. If I am wrong please correct me.

True! Most Afghans (Pukhtoons) are Pak and not Afghan Afghan. By addressing legitimate interests, you mean Afghanistan will accept de jure the Khan-Durand Border between Afghanistan and Pakistan?

This was the idea of Allama Iqbal...but even Pakistan is still divided.....

Because this notion of Afghanistan being invincible is patently false. Coterminous Afghanistan has been invaded and ruled by various Persian and Persian Speaking Turkic dynasties for centuries. It was ruled by Afghans (Pukhtoons) since the Hotak's and Durrani Empires came into being...

I thought they are the same....this is what many Afghan (Pukhtoons) have told me.

Many Sikhs don't consider Pakistani Punjabis as Punjabis...it matters little to us...... Remember Islam is for all...even the Noble Brahmin.... Would you care to educate me?

No need. You are what you are. So what if some Pakistanis are the same clan as some Bharatis? This is a fact. It should not be denied. Just like some Pakistanis share the same clan with some people of Afghanistan. These clans are Pakistani as well! There was a time when our Founding Fathers...

No. Race is not just from father. Race is visible hereditary differences. In the example of the Zulu and Dutch women, the great great great great grandson will have a Zulu Y but he will not be Zulu racially. I can never call myself Arab, all I can say is that some of my paternal ancestors were...

BUT given the generations of mixing, the offspring will not be Arab ethnically....despite carrying Arab genes....I never said that Arains don't carry Arab genes. It means that despite me carrying some Arab genes, Yemenis or Saudis are not my people any longer as ethnically I am no longer from...

Human beings are not just Y. Human beings contain thousands upon thousands of genes.... I never said Y gets diluted. I said the blood gets diluted. If a Zulu man marries a Dutch woman and they have a son, he has a Zulu Y. But he is not the same race as his father...he is a "new" race. Now if...

So I said the Old Arabs who originally came from Yemen...not all Yemenis are Old Arabs...I know may Yemenis are descended from Ismael (peace be upon him). Ismael (peace be upon them) married into Arabs, therefore Arabs existed independently of Ismael and Abraham (peace be upon them). His...

This if for identification purposes. This does not mean that you will look like you father or those forebears who held the same patrilineal name as you do. Neither does it mean you will have their temperament, neither does this mean you can neglect the remainder of the DNA flowing in your veins...

So when Ismael (peace be upon him) married into a people in the Becca, they were non Arabs? There are two types of Arabs, (maybe three now). The Old Arabs who originate from Yemen and travelled north. Then you have Arabs from Ismael and his marriages to Arab girl(s) (peace be upon him) do...

Problem is the Governments after Jinnah and I would say Ayub Khan failed to advance Pakistan as a nation state they just used Pakistan's populace for political brownie points and money people can be confused and damned but hey lets buy Avenfield and apartments in NYC while I drown Pakistan in...

Arabs are only united by language and religion heck they are even so many dialects that would be impossible for a Lebanese to understand what an Algerian is saying besides most Libyans,Algerians,Tunisians,Morrocans are all mixed up Arab,Turkish,Berber,French, etc True.... But the point I was...

Yes but are they "pure"? Highly unlikely as they would have intermarried with the "natives" and given this was circa 400/1000 the proportion of Arab blood is much less than the "native" blood. Even many Libyan Arabs and Syrian Arabs are not Arab by blood....my neighbours are Libyans and guess...
