Why do I strongly believe that some Muslims of Pakistan and North India are also descendents of ancient Israelites? They might not be Jews but be Israelis from the ten tribes. For instance, when I was in school, all my friends were Muslims. And I loved to make Muslim friends because they had Biblical beauty. Their names were also Biblical names from the Old Testament times. Such as my favorite friend's name was Aqsah and her last name was Baloch and she was very light color and beautiful. All of her sisters had outstanding beauty. In the same way, all Muslim girls were gorgeous. Now Baloch is a Muslim cast that goes back to the Mughals and the Mughals were originally Israelis who lived in India and all of the Middle East. So Muslims of Pakistan can be mixed with ancient Israel because they look so much like today's Jews.

The Bible clearly speaks about the Black race as Ethiopians but there is no mention of a white race with blond hair as we see today. So where the white race come from? Were the Europeans descendents of Edomites, Moabites, Ammonites, and the six sons of Abraham from his wife Keturah? Because Keturah was not a black or dark-skinned woman. She was also Aramean from Mesopotamia. Could the Europeans be the descendents of these Abrahamic/ Semitic nations.

Ashkenazi, Sephardic, and Mizrahi Jews share common ancestry because they are all descended from the Israelites.
