Yeah,the funny thing is that they dont seem to give a shit about the fact that the vikings had lots of connections with the arab world and shared a lot of culture with the arabs too.
The Viking had a lot of connections with every people in europe and a lot of people beyond europe. They also often "married" with people of other races and got their own blood lines mixed with those of other peoples and places, such as in Normandy, Russia, etc.
The Vikings were anything but racists. If they came to your village, raped and killed your mom and sisters, killed your father and brothers and left you maimed, its not cause you were black or arab or whatever else, its cause you had valuable stuff they wanted for themselves. Period. :Smug:
