Original Message:   Yeah. Muslim Vikings seems a bit of a stretch.

However, the Vikings and the Russians were slave traders to the Baltic and Caspian regions, not to mention the Mediterranean (those galleys weren't going to row themselves), so it's not beyond belief that they picked up some attractive gear with silver embroidery and engraved stones with Islamic themes - religious belief likely wasn't an issue?
