Quillette | Muslim Vikings and Abuses of History
The old filterActivist historians and the journalists who create an audience for their pronouncements seek to counter right-wing views of Islam and the West as essentially distinct entities locked in permanent conflict. Such views, of course, do not survive contact with historical data, which offers a far more nuanced picture, one that, indeed, is precisely too rich and complicated to serve the goals of any contemporary political agenda, or to answer any question about Muslim integration, immigration, or identity in Europe today. Rather than attend to these nuances, however, many journalists and historians irresponsibly exaggerate certain facets that promote their own favored political narratives. In their eagerness to use history against the far-right, they only aggravate tensions and distort the historical record.

What will future archeologists assume about us based on our souveniers?
“Christ has no body now but yours. Yours are the eyes through which he looks with compassion on this world. Yours are the feet with which he walks among His people to do good. Yours are the hands through which he blesses His creation.”

and that the places of worship were known as stadiums.
For example, the Chicago Bears, Bulls, Blackhawks.
Same in Japan. Osaka Hanshin Tigers.
Although accounting for the Nippon Ham Fighters in this theory will will be the subject of heated academic debates for generations.
