Thank you for the links and the info on Nazis and on the Islamic scholar and traveler Ahmad ibn Fadlan who observed a Viking burial. It is quite interesting. I would be interested in reading more about how Muslims viewed Valhalla.

As for people saying one thing and doing another, or saying different things to different audiences... let's just say it would be far too easy, in the very different worlds in which I live and work, to say things that would make me look better to some people.
