OK - I get this perception of why Vikings should be viewed as equally negative as Muslims.

1. Vikings were not mainly raiders - yes they were often raiding, but they traded a lot and they settled down. http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/ra...-52803648/

It was virtually impossible to sustain a culture by raiding alone, since you would lose way too many soldiers each time you took a major city or encountered an enemy tribe. They were used gladly as mercenaries at times.

2. Vikings were not doing anything different than what other tribes were doing between 700-1200. Germany and actually all across Europe the so-called Black Knights preyed upon wanderers and attacked even cities 100 miles away. They plundered and raped.

3. Islam is 1000 times worse, because it creates a backwards ideology that keeps the people back in the year 700. If the Viking ideology would be taught in churches and Ragnar would be seen as a holy prophet, then you could worry, because the Vikings had slavery and were at times barbaric. They were certainly smart and capable warriors who sailed even to America. But as with all things - slavery keeps you back because the rich who own almost all slaves prevent technological advancement that devalues their wealth - their slaves.

Christianity civilized the Nordic tribes.

The reason why Whites exalt Vikings of old is because they are the embodiment of the warrior spirit.



But I have no problem with Muslims being proud of the previous conquests of Islam:



There is nothing wrong with invoking that ancient warrior spirit.



But we should know that each of those systems was limited in their own regard. Rome and Ancient Greece while being advanced for their age reached a limit as well - also I might - likely due to slavery as well.



All tribes may look to inspiration at the past, but we should not kid ourselves about the limitations of those things.



There is however one fucking super-glaring difference between the Vikings and your so-called White Supremacists (globalist trademark pending).

Muslims - hundreds of millions of them - still want to rekindle the old glory days, reconquer everything from Spain to Hungary, then expand until they conquer the world. They still claim that medieval sharia and Islam is the bestest super-duperest of all legal systems for the world.

Find me an organized movement out there that wants to reconquer Roman territories out of Italy or the Norwegians wishing to start raiding and taking slaves again.

THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE AND IT IS A MAJOR ONE!

Viking = old glory, just a symbol
Muslim warrior = current battle plan, nothing changed, will be beheading you today if given a chance
