Screw that. Let the Danes get some longships going, and let them sack Amman. If the Jordanese want some Danes so badly, then let them get what they ask for!
americanstd can give you the details since he reads the Danish papers online regularly, but Denmark has been having to turn away people from the recruiting stations, Danes are so eager to kick ass and take names.
Bear in mind that if the Danes were truly eager to act like Vikings, they'd come to Jordan and offer to sell them amber, and only attack if nobody bought. Then they'd go back to Denmark, buy farms, and return to their agricultural ways. There was some effort made to settle North Africa, but it didn't go well at all. Iceland was more congenial.
Wasn't there one gigantic Viking raid in the (I think) 9th century that went through the entire Med and that started out with over 70 ships? I remember reading that less than a third made it back home, but the survivors were set for life.

When will the West act to take back its freedoms?
I ask myself this almost every single day.
