Of course, worth noting that there is some potential evidence for Viking converts to Islam: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=wuN-AgAAQBAJ&lpg=PA543&pg=PA543#v=onepage&q&f=true …pic.twitter.com/cHkVVTutDr

Dr. Green: This is a fascinating thread. Have you ever read the book "Phoenician Origin of Britons, Scots, and Anglo-Saxons"?
-
In relation to that book, does anything by Prof. Waddell hold up when compared with this scholarship you present? Thank you.
-
Simialr ideas, but modern material based on more reliable material (he used legends etc) & working in scholarly mainstream :)
-
Thank you for replying Dr. Green. So portions of Waddell's work dealing with linguistic comparisons have the most relevance?
-
I think it's safest to stick with Coates+Broderick on linguistic side, purely to avoid using an old and questionable source :)
