        They may have copied the Arabic script without knowing or caring about its meaning. There are similar examples in coinage.

        For the poorly educated, Vikings did not predate Islam. Islam began in early 7th Century. Vikings were from late 8th to mid 11th century.

        But they did not just emerge from nothing to conquer england in 790, they definitely predate Islam. You are now educated...

        If you think about it yes. With the Out of Africa theory,religion, pagan or not would have started there.

        The Middle East is also part of Africa, and the oldest point of origin of man is the Oldavi Gorge in Africa.
