When Analogies FAIL: Taliban = Vikings

Islam Online argues that the Taliban are no worse than the Vikings. You know, the scourge of Middle Age Christian Europe that went around raping, pillaging, murdering, and causing general chaos wherever they went.

Muslims take pride in the Taliban just like modern Scandinavians take pride in their Viking heritage.

Of course, the Scandinavians stopped pillaging, what, like 900 years ago?

Great analogy you got there. Mind if I spread it?
