I’m frequently around muslims from other countries but cannot recall any such thing as traditional “Islamic hand signs.” I am guessing, but is the school teacher a member of the heretical Nation of Islam and is she actually teaching gang signs or some other crap she made up like the new agers do by calling their own fantasies “American Indian” tradition?

Interesting point.
Sounds like the tribal tendencies that made ebonics almost possible as a civilized language.
