Well, actually, most of it is about the REAL rapists of the Viking Age, and the centuries following that too...
When we take a look at the history of Vikings, we always encounter the claim that they were raiders and rapists. But if you go to the historical sources, you will find that not a single contemporary historical source claims that the Vikings raped anybody. In fact, you have to wait about 100 or even 200 years to find any sources claiming that the Vikings raped anybody.
So NOBODY accused the Vikings of raping anybody until 100-200 years AFTER the Viking Age had ended. Had the Vikings raped anybody, I am sure the CHRISTIAN sources from the Viking Age would NOT have forgotten to mention it. The rumour that the Vikings raped people in Europe is in other words FALSE, and it has been spread by CHRISTIANS to smear the name of their enemies, the honourable Pagan Scandinavians. What the contemporary Christian sources do tell us though, is how the CHRISTIANS tortured and murdered Pagans in numbers, to force them into converting to Christianity.
The Christians also tell about how they took the Pagan chieftains' children hostage, and threatened to murder them unless they accepted Christianity. They continued to murder Pagans, kidnap their children, torture them and rape them, for hundreds of years.
In spite of this, the Pagan spirit was revived, starting from 1350 and onwards, because the Crusaders had come into contact with their own European culture, via the Muslims. The Christians had burned all the European libraries (thousands of them!), but in the Muslims world they had instead kept and translated the Pagan books they came across into Arabic. The books were translated back into European languages, after having been brought back to Europe from the Middle East by the Crusaders. The Christianized Europeans, furious and in shock, started en masse to reject Judeo-Christianity. We know this as the Renaissance: the revival of Pagan Europe. From then on Pagan art, science and philosophy started to blossom again in Europe, after almost 1000 years of Judeo-Christian darkness. The best one could hope to get from a pre-Renaissance Christian 'artist' was from an artistic point of view pure rubbish. Something like this:
Post-Renaissance art on the other hand was fantastic, and used the techniques from the pre-Christian era. The Renaissance art even often had OPENLY Pagan motives.
Only architecture had survived, because the Christians needed it to build their churches. Everything else was destroyed by the Christians: mathematics, sculpturing, philosophy, running water, libraries, public baths, etc. The Christian reaction to the revival of Pagan Europe was extreme: what followed was several hundred years of 'witch-hunting'. This was an attempt to STOP and REVERSE the Renaissance, and throw the European spirit back into the Judean prison called 'Christianity'. Some sources claim that MILLIONS of Europeans were murdered in the process. Mainly women (because they were the bearers of Tradition), but also men and children.
Notice how talentless the Christian 'art' still is, even hundreds of years after the Renaissance...
In spite of the efforts of the Christians, Europeans remain Europeans, in blood, mind and spirit. This is a testament to how weak a religion Christianity is: almost 2000 years of intense propaganda, threats, bribes, (mass-) murders, torture and kidnapping, and STILL most of us reject their immigrant religion. All it takes to banish their darkness is to light a single light. Our nature is Pagan. Anything Christian on top of that can be washed away like filth from a piece of white cloth. The filth goes away, but the cloth remains: white, pure and beautiful.
