Daoud Roubani is the name of a folk hero of the Pushtun tribes, and the similarity of the names is certainly striking. There does appear to be some sort of historic connection between the country of Afghanistan, and the wanderings of the Jewish people. He was no doubt sincere in pursuing his mission, which was to make an alliance with the Europeans against the Muslim conquerors in the East. He seems to have been too trusting of other people, especially Kings, and died as a martyr of the Inquisition.

abstract	Daoud Roubani is the name of a folk hero of the Pushtun tribes, and the similarity of the names is certainly striking. There does appear to be some sort of historic connection between the country of Afghanistan, and the wanderings of the Jewish people. The evidence was found by Prof. W. Fischel, who had an opportunity to publish an overview of all Judeo-Persian writing from the ancient tombstones discovered in Afghanistan, found in ruins all over the country, suggesting the presence of an Persian- Jewish merchant community, centered in the lost early medieval capital of Afghanistan, Firuzkun. Firuzkun was reputed to be once a great city of the early Middle Ages; its name means “The Turquoise Mountain”, probably after one of the many gemstones mined nearby. (See Wikipedia entry for Firuzkun). But we know little beyond the fact of Jewish presence in Afghanistan during the early part of the first milenia. He was no doubt sincere in pursuing his mission, which was to make an alliance with the Europeans against the Muslim conquerors in the East. He seems to have been too trusting of other people, especially Kings, and died as a martyr of the Inquisition. In his bravery, sincerity, simple lifestyle, and devotion to his people, he can be seen as a positive role model for the Jewish Nation.
