Maybe you should try to wikipedia vikings and see what they really did.
You dont see me bashing christianty right? Even though I would be entitled too, since my ancestors were vikings and were converted to a religion they really didnt want. Hell, Sweden wasnt fully converted until around 1600 or so. Even to this day you have priests of the old norse gods doing their thing.

Of course I read everything you said, the problem you have is that the vikings did all this at different times. They didn't serve as bodyguards for the Sultans as you say while they worshipped Odin. It's a historical anachronism.
You can't just pool such a long history of a people into one segment.
