Why did Andalusians call vikings 'Madjoos'?
Did vikings worship fire?

>>17948380 (OP)
Zoroastrians were the pagans most known to Muslims. It's like Romans calling all Hellenes Graecians, Jews and Indians calling all Hellenes Ionians, Jews calling all pagans Hellenes, Indians calling all foreigners Melucchans, etc.

>>17948380 (OP)
Well, several Indo-European peoples had some rituals related to fire, and Muslims had come into contact with Zoroastrianism anyway, so looking at fire rituals mainly in the funeral context, Muslims made such comparisons I had a book about it I'll see if I can find it

>>17948391
Yes, I've read that and I'm almost certain it comes from that Muslim writer who traveled to Scandinavia and talked about the cultural aspects of the Nordic people. It was from him that the myth that the Nordic people were smelly came from.

The turkic raiders they had met before were Manichean, which is basically Mazdan, so they equated raiders with Manichean (Majus)

It was Russia, not Scandinavia. He met with Rus slave raiders.

>>17948412
whether in Russia or at his mother's house, he encountered Scandinavians as the local elite, the Rus were not Slavs; scholarly consensus holds that they were originally Norsemen.

Have you not watched Vicky the Viking?

Because they had sex with their mothers and sisters like Zoroastrians.

>>17948626
No?

>Norsemen
They were finns actually

>>17948626
The majority of us are not German boomers, so no

No, they did not worship fire. the term Madjoos was originally for the Zoroastrians of Persia, but it soon was used to refer to any Pagan.

Avesta has many parallels with Norse religion so its not a huge surprise. Fire was usually employed during pagan rituals

>>17948380 (OP)
They were of fair skin and hair, just like the pre ARAB'd Persia

>>17949669
no

Not true

>Heaven is ruled by 'Ahura' aka Aesir, whose divine bridge and throne are guarded by 4-eyed dogs, two flanking the gates to Heaven and 2 flanking the Throne of God
>Heimdall I mean Mithras guards the Bridge of 7 lights, can hear and see everything and judges the souls of the dead who come to heaven
>Ahriman is said to have created homosexuality and bestiality as a mockery of the divine love made by Ahura; Loki in norse myth is the only god that practices homosexuality and bestiality and he is chained beneath the earth, doomed to have venom drip in his face until the end of days
yeah no relation at all. this is just stuff i remember off the top of my head, I could go dust off my avesta and really get into this if you want me to
