The prophet also used dhoti and it was his culture which is not and will never be acceptable to Pashtuns.For Pashtuns, the followers of guru nanak in east Punjab are the same as those of Muhammad in West Punjab, as far as pir_rokhannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799144498932126167.post-52331365678316352532010-03-04T17:15:47.093-05:002010-03-04T17:15:47.093-05:00Well, everyone feels blessed to be born into their...Well, everyone feels blessed to be born into their ethnicity so I take one's self-happiness of their ethnicity with a grain of salt as it is something which cannot be measured or tested.<br /><br />Anyways, yes, according to your view, Islam is a part and parcel of Arab culture and beliefs.
