A beautiful little Jewish Afghan girl from the 1950’s, Herat. Diversity and freedom of religion in Afghanistan existed.

Jews in Afghanistan, beyond imagination, my issue of ignorance.
Hindus once existed there but probably not anymore.

Majority of the Hindu Pashtuns were on the other side of the Durrand. Once the Durrand was made they were given ultimatums to either convert to Islam or leave- they mostly all left and resettled in India.

is making a beautiful documentary on them.

That’s a wonderful picture! There were about five synagogues in Herat and they were part of the society. AKF is restoring one of them. Could you provide the source of the picture?

I see the Sikhs around a lot- but sadly not any Hindu, Buddhist or Zoroastrian.

I'm sure i read there was just one Jew left in Afghanistan. Or at least one that was brave/stupid enought to admit to it.

It still exists. However, many Jews in the AfPak region have turned crypto-Jews. For example, Malala Yousafzai's family is one.

Do not make lies. Hindus still living in Malakand and Swat. No one converted them. I am seeing a lot of tweets expressing surprise other religion ppl living with Pakhtons. Different religion ppl lives with Pashtun happily because they have big heart. Afghan jew went to Israel.

Afghans ancestors were Jews now we are Muslims I am proud of it as our ancestors followed the right path and those who are still Jews I respect them as they have the right to do so.

America does not have a real strategy for bringing the long war to an end, however, the trend in fighting will remain the same even if Trump was to increase troop levels despite of his intentions on winning. See my article at

Humans are beautiful irrespective of religion. All are Allah's creations. Don't see all this in perspective of religion.

The picture shared by
@duftur
proves you're just making stuff up.... As stated at the bottom of the page. This picture is from 1993, and the little girl happens to be from Yemen.
