History of Arabs in Afghanistan
The
history of Arabs in Afghanistan
spans over one
millennium
, from the 7th century
Islamic conquest
when
Arab ghazis
arrived with their
Islamic mission
until recently when others from the
Arab world
arrived to defend fellow
Muslims
from the
Soviet Union
followed by their liberation by
NATO forces
. Most of the early
Arabs
gradually lost their Arabic
hegemony
and ultimately mixed with the
local population
, though they are still considered a cognizably distinct ethnic group according to the
Constitution of Afghanistan
and the
Afghan National Anthem
. Afghans who carry
Sayed
or
Quraishi
in their names usually claim Arab
ancestry
.
