Subhanallah :) I was hoping you would answer!
I suggest you take a look at the following link bro about the "Wahabi" Myth:

Also do you have any books that I can read in regards to Turkish Hanafi influence on the Ummah and Pashtuns converting to Hanafiyyah?

Pashtuns are definitely Hanafi in the majority, but in Herat and Nangarhar you have some Hanbalis. Kunar had an old Hanbali tradition, but that got mixed up by all the Arab Wahhabis who came in claiming to be Hanbalis. Actually, that's how Kunar became a stronghold for al-Qaeda because they told the local Afghans that they were Hanbalis. They didn't even know any better.

Actually, Afghanistan was majority Hanbali in the time of the Seljuqs under Alp Arsalan and this was promoted by him as he gave a lot of freedom to Khaw?ja `Abdullah al-Ans?r? to teach. The shift occurred under Turkish domination during the Uzbek reign, the later Mughal times and was accented by the Ottoman's influence over the Muslim world. The Ottomans were reputed to have a very repressive policy towards the Hanbalis due to the Ash`ar? influence over them. Many prominent Hanbalis in Egypt were forced to become Hanafis.

With the Safavid conquest of Iran and the forced conversion of its Sunni majority to Shi`ite the Turkish dominated Muslim world became consumed by a Shi`i vs. Sunni conflict. As the Turks were Hanafis they exerted their influence over the rest of the Muslim world with a policy of "your either with us or against us" and used this to spread their mathhab.

Its a historically complex issue, but these are just a few reasons why Pashtuns are mostly Hanafis. The reasons are purely political and the result of military conquests and influence.
