Photos from the recent muslims elected to congress showed something unusual in photos of them taking the oath of office. Rashida Tlaib (D-Michigan) took the oath with her little finger spread apart from her other fingers. Ilhan Omar (D-Minnesota) took the oath with her little finger and the next finger spread apart from the rest of her fingers.
I have been searching for what, if anything, this means and have found nothing. Do any Freepers know if this means anything or is it just a coincidental and unusual jesture?

Most people do not know that the koran tells muslims that non-believers can be killed, enslaved or charged a ransom to avoid being killed.

Probably the Islamic version of crossing your fingers when you don’t mean what your saying. I think they call it “taqiyya” when they pledge to uphold the Constitution and US laws.

Islam teaches that allah is the master deceiver so I always view what they say as possible deception and I think I am often right. DemocRATs also operate on deception so that is probably why the left has often sided with islam, from hitler to 0bama.

"Trump did it also. You can Google up the image of Trump's swearing in, and he is not doing it in those pics.

That is what I thought too, it is like gang signs. She is signaling what she will stand for to the jihadis.

Why are there muslim elected officials?Because people voted for them?

After some research and looking at the picture of Omar taking her oath, that gesture is most likely the Hamsa. The Hamsa represents the five pillars of Islam, whose practice is mandatory for Muslims.

Old-school German politicians - I'm talkin' 'bout in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s here - always held their right hand aloft as though they were about to karate-chop a block of wood.
Can you guess why German politicians wouldn't want to get caught on camera - even when only swearing an oath of office - with their palm facing forward?

Most people do not know that the koran tells muslims that non-believers can must be killed, and if the muslims in question are feeling blood-sated then kafirs can be enslaved or charged a ransom to avoid being killed (mostly young women and young boys for slaves and rich or prosperous for dhimmi status).
