Khurasan[edit]

Khurasan is the ancient/middle evil name of Afghanistan. The first time when it was mentioned was by Parthians in the 2/3 century. Khurasan is taken from middle-persian words Khurshid or Khur and san, land where the sun arise. It was part of Iran-Shahr, greater Iran. The Sassanian king Yezdegard was the last who used the name Khurasan where he was seek to find companians to fight the Arabs. Abu Muslim Khurasani was the men who threw the Arabs out of modern Afghanistan and most of central asia. But the arabs became vasalls of the persian Saffarids who pushed them to modern Pakistan and India where they became governeurs and the new rulers. The name Khurasan is even mentioned in the Panjtchantra, the indian history book as the country of Tajis (the kinglike people) and the kambujis and sassanians.

Mojadeddis ancestors are from Pakistan. His grand-father was from Banu, Pakistan who migrated maybe during the british invasion to Afghanistan with it´s Pashtun tribe--88.68.219.132 (talk) 23:03, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Before you accuse another of "vandalism" please review the Wikipedia policy concerning vandalism. Secondly, the article concerns the HISTORY of ARABS in AFGHANISTAN. The extraneous information you insist on leaving has absolutely nothing to do with the article because the article does NOT pertain to the Shahis. Even assuming that it had some relevance, (which it doesn't) it is completely immaterial in light of the entire context of the article. Scythian1 (talk) 01:48, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article pertains to History of Arabs in Afghanistan , and one of the referenced quotes you have deleted specifically relates to the history of Arabs into Afghanistan .
As to the second deletion you have made of referenced content , it pertains to the immediate next line from an existing quote in this article from the same book page and paragraph .
Moreover your deletions of referenced content without discussion renders them vandal edits .

Intothefire (talk) 13:05, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The material you insist on leaving grossly disturbs the flow of the article. One cannot merely placing a quote from a book and hope that it will somehow meet the standards of Wikipedia editing. Indeed, the article cannot remain cogent if one peppers Wikipedia articles from random quote or reference from textbooks, some of which have virtually no relevance to the context of the article. Again, I would suggest, you carefully read policies concerning vandalism before accusing one of vandalism. Scythian1 (talk) 18:28, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ziarats.[edit]

Clarification:

Kandahar is home to a sizeable Arab Cemetery that has become a frequently visited area of contemplation amongst locals who believe that touching the graves of Arab fighters and their families will cure them of illnesses, including paralysis.

Most ziarats (graves) of good people are visited in Afghanistan from time to time for blessing or healing and such, it is against the rules of Islam but those people still do it unknowingly - may God guide them. So it is not only the Arabs, genrally all the martyrs graves are visited, even the old jew graves are visited. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.215.85.19 (talk) 14:33, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Split[edit]

This page covers two totally irrelevant subjects: Arab Afghans (and ethnic group who have in lived Afghanistan for centuries and whose language is mostly Persian) and Arab militants in Afghanistan (who went there to fight Soviets). Alefbe (talk) 05:37, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
