Stephen Pressfield included a meeting with these displaced and cut off Israelites in his book, The Afghan Campaign. A novel of Alexanders campaign in Bactria on his way to India, from the viewpoint of a Macedonian hoplite.Along the wy they meet a tribe that they recognize as related to Israelites who practice the Passover sader in their own way.

The Taliban is decended from the Three Stooges..
With exploding shorts and more...

[Patrick1]

Going way out a limb here and say.....No.

[StormEye]

Plain stupid nonsense!

[muawiyah]

In ancient times Jewish people traveled the Silk Road which goes through Afghanistan. Many of my Afghan neighbors post a mezuzah on their door lintels if there were any doubt of this. Others do things only Buddhists do.

Everybody traveled the Silk Road and left behind more than their fair share of DNA. If the ancient Hebrew tribes taken captive by the Assyrians could be genetically identified there's no doubt you'd find some descendants in Afganistan, Iran and Pakistan.

I doubt the Taliban are restricted to a single tribe of any given nation. They're pretty much an equal opportunity terroristic bunch. BTW, they were founded for the purpose of bringing to a halt the civil war that ensued after the Russian withdrawal.

They are proof that the accursed muhammed (may he burn in hell between Farmer John hams) boffed camels and goats when he wasn’t doing children.

[rbosque]

More likely descended from the devil.

[padre35]

Wouldn’t be that surprising, though the Scythian theory is a bit more interesting imho.

[hellbender]

Gosh. I thought the Lost Tribes were American Indians. Or the British.

[mnehring]

Almost every culture claims relation to the lost tribes in some way. Maybe the Tibetians haven’t, but that’s about it.

*ping* [.... lol.]

[Dan(9698)]

the two sons of the biblical Joseph, who were the first Jews, born outside of the Holy Land.

Jews are decended from Judah, Joseph's brother.

Joseph's decendents are not "Jews", the whole family are Hebrew.

[PzLdr]

They’re second generation vertebrates.

[Vendome]

They and the Mormons are Maccabees.

[The Comedian]

I don't care from whom they are descended.

I only want to ensure that no one descends from them.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

[happygrl]

I first read of this about fifteen years ago in a book on bibilical prophecy.

You know those ten tribes had to go somewhere....

[Shadowstrike]

How about they are just the Sons of Cain.

[xzins]

If true, and there are substantial reasons for thinking it is true, then the real issue is the God of Israel.

He is not the god of islam.

Amo 9:9 For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.

I think one day we’ll all be very surprised at how far and wide the tribes of Israel ended up over time.
