* '''[[Magog (Bible)]]''' was one of the seven sons of [[Japheth]] mentioned in the [[Book of Genesis]]. He is often associated with apocalyptic traditions. According to [[Islam]]ic traditions, '''Magog''' and '''[[Gog]]''' are believed to be two tribes of wild and destructive nature. They are known as Yajooj (Gog) and Majooj (Magog), and are described in the Muslims Holy Book , the [[Holy Quran]] ( Chapter "'''The Cave'''" ). They are also mentioned in the sayings of the Holy Prophet of Islam, [[Muhammad]],as the sign of the nearness of the Doomsday, and that they will destroy the civilisations.( The Books of ''Sahih Al Bukhari'' and ''Sahih Al Muslim''), Chapters of Doomsday. Some Muslim Scholars like Abul kalam Azad, Sayed Moududi and Tibri believe that they were Mongols , who were always raiding and destroying the Persian and Indian civilisations, and finally destroyed the Muslim dynasty of [[Baghdad]] and Khwarzam ( central Asia ). King [[Zulqarneyn|Zul Qarnain]] ( some historians believe he was [[Cyrus]] ), made a strong wall to stop them, near a town beside the Caspian Sea and between mountains near [[Derbent]] city.

{{User|Karmafist}} is a very qualified user, and I'm surprised that he isn't an admin yet. [http://kohl.wikimedia.org/~kate/cgi-bin/count_edits?user=Karmafist&dbname=enwiki Kate's edit tool] puts him at 2,359 edits; he has been around since August 9th, 2004, and while some users who are newer may have more edits, I feel that Karmafist truly deserves adminship. --[[User:WikiFanatic|WikiFanatic]]^{[[User_talk:WikiFanatic|Talk]] 00:51, 5 October 2005 (UTC)}
