Both Fingers

President Obummer has taken his finger symbolism to another playful level ... flashing Churchill's "V" for victory sign at a gathering of international leaders for nuclear security this week. His newest digital sign is perhaps not just a hippy wish for peace ... but a tongue-in-cheek combination of his previous Shahada pledge (see: A Different Finger) and his middle finger salute (see: One Finger Salute) ... in response to all the Internet buzz about his previous cryptic digital representations, For the story on his latest flashing see: Daily Mail Commentary.

I know, I know. Enough of this obsession with Obummer's obsession with fingers. This is the last posting this issue, I promise!

A Different Finger

While researching my previous blog,  One Finger Salute, I came across a different kind of one finger salute that President Obummer surreptitiously gave to the assembled African Muslim leaders at a U.S.-African Leaders conference last August in Washington, D.C. This stylized hand-sign, used by Muslims around the world, is called the shahada and is a show of solidarity and an affirmation of Allah being the one true God ... see: The American Thinker Revelation for a more complete description of how this sign is made and what it means to other Muslims.

If one questions how Obummer would know this symbolism, don't forget that he admittedly spent almost four formative years in Muslim Indonesia with his mother and step-father ... wherein he attended a madrassa school being taught the way of Islam.
