Cheer Up Zablon Simintov: Thousands Of Jews Are Living In Afghanistan
THERE is one Jew living in Afghanistan. He’s called Zablon Simintov. The US State Department’s Report on International Religious Freedom says so.
As we are told:
Population estimates ranged from 24 to 33 million…80 percent of the population is Sunni Muslim, 19 percent Shia Muslim, and other religious groups comprise less than 1 percent of the population…approximately 3,000 Sikhs, more than 400 Bahais, and 100 Hindu believers. There is a small Christian community; estimates on its size range from 500 to 8,000. There is one known Jewish citizen.
Seth Abramovitch notes the Jewish brain drain (via Jewish Virtual Library):
12th Century: 80,000 Jews in Afghanistan
1839: 40,000 Jews
1948: 5,000 Jews
1969: 300 Jews
1996: 10 Jews
2005: 2 Jews
2011: 1 Jew (the other Jew died)
Of course, it’s all lie. There are thousands of Jews in Afghanistan. They are cunningly disguised as the Taliban as part of a dastardly plot to discredit Islam and set up Goldman Sachs’ back office in Kabul*.
