[Quranic Reflection]: Quran vs Hadith- why the Hadith is false

[WinterHold]

There is no "you": you are not a viking; you are a "modern Canadian citizen"; big difference between the two.
The vikings were an ancient nation, while you belong to a modern nation with a totally different constitution and law of life.
That ancient nation doesn't represent you unless you embrace their ideals and live like them; i.e become them.

 Of course I can point fingers at marauders in history like the Mongols and the Vikings, because by looking at their legacy and conclusion I can warn modern people who follow the same path.

The Vikings were not, in any sense, a ‘nation’. That’s a misconception enforced by terms like ‘the Viking Age’. 

Vikings originated from several nations, which eventually became modern Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and (to a lesser extent) Germany. As has been explained, only those Scandinavian who went pillaging and raiding were Vikings. It was their impact that led to whole peoples being referred to by that term, which is why we read about ‘Viking traders’ and so on. 

Like all cultures, the vast majority of Scandinavian people were tradespeople - farmers, smiths, weavers - and not warriors.

They were a nation. Their land became separated and recognised nowadays only:

The Vikings originated in what is now Denmark, Norway and Sweden (although centuries before they became unified countries). Their homeland was overwhelmingly rural, with almost no towns. The vast majority earned a meagre living through agriculture, or along the coast, by fishing.

Whenever you rationalize inhumane punishments like cutting off hands for theft, that's exactly what you're doing.

You misunderstood me; I'm actually "embracing the faith of Islam & taking the Quran to be my constitution", and no need to take the high moral horse by you in this discussion: Western countries practice severe cruelties to people, you are lucky to be born in Canada, others like me who were born elsewhere see the "actual religion" of the west, we are the sitting ducks that you blow your ammunitions on.

The "age of the Vikings" is still going on; but the neo-vikings learned new tactics and learned how to hide their "cruel expansions" better.
