There is absolute clarity on this issue.
""Reagan financed the Freedom Fighters against pashtuns"" Pashtuns is---historically---AFGHANIS.
---ie people from Afghanistan who in ancient times
lived in an area of southeast Asia which was part of
the persian empire. They speak a LANGUAGE
called PASHTUN which includes elements of Farsi
(persian language) and Urdu (indian dialect that
includes elements of hindi and farsi used in west
pakistan and northwest India. With the arabian
GLORIOUS AGE OF ISLAMIC CONQUEST---islam
got shoved down their throats. Next time you are
in a hotel----look in the bedside table for a copy of
the GIDEON BIBLE----book of Esther. Queen Vashti---Queen of persia before Esther----was a Pashtun.
Pashtun is not an ideology or a religion---it is a
large ethnic group. There were jewish Pashtuns in
Afghanistan----and LONG AGO---an influential Yeshiva with a Rabbi "ISHMAEL" (gawd help us)
something like 300 AD
