But I want to compare Islam to the Paganism of the Vikings.

If the Vikings were practicing what they believe in today, it would be pretty barbaric, they might be modern terrorists with their lifestyle and their human sacrifices.

But they are not. Scandinavian countries are now the most peaceful nations in the world, and they barely believe in their Pagan stuffs anymore.

What is it that make them able to evolve out of their religion and Muslims still cannot?

Afterward, the world will resurface anew and fertile, the surviving and returning gods will meet, and the world will be repopulated by two human survivors. Ragnarök is an important event in the Norse mythology, and has been the subject of scholarly discourse and theory throughout the history of Germanic studies.

Is it because they are not insane?

(As for Nordic Pagans, you do know that the Astaru branch of neopaganism that supposedly revives all of that stuff is infamous for its connections with white supremacists and neonazis?)

You claim that forced conversions by Catholics has led to these peaceful, "progressive" societies

Compare and contrast that to Islam, throwing gays off of tall buildings and here, having children hunt hobbled apostates

What was your point again

He didnt lay that claim tommie the felchgobblery, but let me clue you in inSanity:

Olaf the Stout (King of Norway) was the fellow that forced the conversion from the Norse to the xtian (catholic) religion) in the Norse religion there were many gods, so what was one more? You swore fealty to the King and to god of the catholics. Or you were slaughtered.

The progressive and egalitarian societies of the Nordic countries were there since recorded times, they were a democratic-social society.

Look up althing, and maybe pick up a history book on the Vikings and have someone read it to you, and help you with the three syllable words.

When they ruled their corner of the world they carved the death eagle on the back of scraelings and made every king and queen until today, including those that have passed, Russia and so on.
When they waned, there was no reason to be violent inside or outside the country and they kept their althing and their election of king and queen and rulers. They worked together, all for one and one for all. And they are rich democratic-socialist countries.

As you're apparently to stupid to follow a very simple point, I'll explain it in simpler terms for you.
Greta asked: "What is it that make them able to evolve out of their religion and Muslims still cannot?"
and I said: "They didn't, it was done to them by the catholic church."
Clear now, or do I have to put a video on youtube using puppets to help you get your pointy little head around a very basic point?

My understanding is that all of the very substantial and important advances made in the Arab world were well and truly done and dusted by the time the kiddie fucker arose and signed the death warrant on any intellectual endevours in the sandpit.

Yeah, they had their early 'Church of England' fights and ended up Lutheran mostly, you can imagine they had a large case of the red ass against the catholics at the outset.

If one group of scholars does arise among Muslims, it's like everything else before someone reads their primitive texts and realizes they must all be destroyed for insulting their bloodthirsty god or prophet or whatever. On another thread someone tried to claim that because it took Muslims 1400 years to destroy a wonderfully preserved 3000 year old city complete with sculptures and tablets etc, a marvel of antiquity they cant be all bad

Just give them time, is the thing. One of them will realize that they are commanded to destroy everything and everyone they encounter, even happens here in the U.S.

They study that bloodstained book of theirs then its all 'Allahu Akbar' over

I get that you're slow and everything but this degree of cultural illiteracy is absolutely unforgivable.
