As we're talking about a nomadic Scythian tribe that probably moved all over Asia and human ancestry in general is complicated and untraceable in large groups over centuries there could be descendants of the Tapuri anywhere. All over Europe. In Yemen (according to Google, anyway). Still in Russia. Because a shrine to Gog and Magog was found in England they could have ended up in Australia. In America. In the Bahamas, in India, Hong Kong. Or stayed in Great Britain. Or gone to Northern Ireland. Maybe they're in Turkey due to the Goth connection.
I think We will have a problem once we try to find the worms eating neck disease somewhere in Bangladesh or Somalia will you then believe based on this finding that they are Gog and Magog ?.... even though that people of that country might have been diseased by the poverty spread due to corruption of their leaders installed and fully backed by Western countries and enslaved due to heavy IMF World Bank interest based loans ?
If that's your criteria to find Gog and Magog then best of luck. I have no arguments with you.
Before you seize on the "America" part I'm from America and I'm a Muslim. I've known so many decent people here I couldn't name them all if given a piece of paper and unlimited time to write down all the names. You see the problem? Maybe it's just best not to talk about Gog and Magog in the first place. Look what happens when people do. There will never be an excuse to point fingers at huge groups, even unto the world's last sunset.
Brother thats the problem I see you have, you're an American 1st and then a Muslim.... I am a Muslim 1st and then a Pakistani....so if Pakistanis do something wrong, I will not support that and that's how It should be.
If Zionist Jews with their Banking Industry (IMF, World Bank, Fed Res) are in an unholy alliance with Zionist Christian Leaders like Reagan, George Bush (A freemason) and Mellenialists in NATO and USA Armies, and are wreaking havoc across the world in general and MENA region in particular.... then we Must accept it whether we are American or no. Its not that I am pointing fingers for no reason, as you have mentioned...
You seem to be approaching it solely to engage in that time-old, yet anything but time-honored, practice of using subjects like eschatology and Gog and Magog an excuse to indulge your conspiracy theories and that perennial human habit of insisting on seeing signs everywhere that Judgment Day is probably nigh in your own age.
Since you are a Muslim , then I would like to inform you what a Muslim is supposed to do when he/she enters the Last Age and what the Prophet (saw) himself informed us to do exactly when that last age approaches....
"...The day that some of the Signs of your Lord do come( i.e. Gog and Magog, Dajjal, Beast of the Earth, Sun rising from the West),
no good will it do to a person to believe then, if he believed not before, nor earned good (by performing deeds of righteousness)
through his Faith..." [al-An'aam (6):158]
Pick up any commentary and Praise be to Allah (swt) All commentaries about this Verse mention the Prophet (saw) himself reciting this Verse whenever He spoke about any major signs of the last days, for eg. Gog and Magog or Dajjal etc.
He recited this Verse not for the sake of Just recitation, but to remind the Muslims of that age to relay his words to the Muslims of every generation to study the subject of Eschatology so that we are warned, and look for those signs in order to save ourselves, keep away from harms, hold on to our Iman and work accordingly in that age knowing our enemies who they are....
As a Muslim we're supposed to identify our enemies and if they have appeared in the face of Zionism then we have to admit and warn others who have not understood. The age of Dajjal is the worst...
Prophet (saw) said...
"Between time of the creation of Adam and the Resurrection Day, there is nothing greater than the mischief of Dajjal (the Antichrist).''
[Muslim Book 41,Chapter 23, Hadith # 7037]
...it is during the Age of Dajjal that Gog and Magog will take over the world order, Jesus (a.s) will descend and other signs etc.
Not supririsngly whenever you try to understand the subject of Gog and Magog in the Quran or the Traditions of the Prophet (saw), only one city and land is mentioned with their rising to power in the world, and that is the Land of Israel.
So you take out Zionist Israel and its Western allies particularly USA and Britain and study the subject of Gog and Magog in isolation..... then you would be like the following person...
Who wants to study subject of Satan, because you have read little about him or paid little attention to him in Islam and then try and read every book on earth to gather and read about Satan and get confused with all of this information going no where or worst getting misguided, especially when there have been interpolations made in all the other divinely revealed books....while all you had to to do was make Islam the criteria of right and wrong and try to understand accordingly....
To the original poster I am sorry If the topic has been derailed because of me, I wanted to make it clear as to who are the actual descndants of Gog and Magog in the modern age amongst the ruling elite ... so what we've discussed so far was also important before we move ahead.....
About the disease I have little information which InshA'Allah which I would also share.
Salaam.
