A glass ring found in a Viking grave belonging to a Swedish woman offers proof that Vikings were in direct multicultural contact with the ancient Islamic civilizations.
The ring, which is decorated with glass and not amethyst as previously assumed, has an inscription that reads ”to Allah” or “for Allah” in Arabic, writes ScienceNews.
According to the archeologists behind the discovery, it’s a well-established fact that Scandinavians traded their women in exchange of glass beads with people from Egypt and Mesopotamia as far back as 3,400 years ago -- so it’s not that unlikely to think that Viking women might’ve taken the trip down there themselves and converted to Islam, says the researchers from Stockholm University.
According to Jeanette Varberg, director of Moesgaard Museum in Sweden, it’s a very exciting discovery. However, she says she’s not surprised that there were multicultural connections between ancient Scandinavia and the Middle East.
I think Islam is what makes many Swedes today jealous of immigrant groups. You have a culture, an identity, a history, something that brings you together. And what do we have? We have Midsummer's Eve and such silly things, said Mona Sahlin, the former Prime Minister of Sweden
Remember, this is the Swedish "Minister of Culture". She has ordered the destruction of newly found Swedish historical artifacts.

Vikings got around, they raped and pillaged multiple areas. It is very likely the ring was stolen from southern Europe or even an Islamic country.

They were actually pushing for this on state radio just a couple of hours ago. Right after the nazi rally. Talk about desperate.
