The new Saudi king has ordered citizens not to kiss his hand, saying the traditional gesture of respect is degrading and violates Islam.
"Kissing hands is alien to our values and morals, and is not accepted by free and noble souls," Abdullah told a delegation from Baha, in southwest Saudi Arabia, which came to the royal palace to offer congratulations on his accession. "It also leads to bowing, which is a violation of God's law. The faithful bow to no one but God."

Michelle Malkin has the video at her site. I don’t have posting privileges over at DU, myself. If someone does, go for it.
Yep
So if this were him kissing the hand/ring, and not bowing.. would that be against protocol? I want a close up picture,right where he can see his hands, face, lips and head...up close and personal.
my head is ready to just explode
I want to see a journalist ask did you kiss his hand and why did you feel you should bow.
I have not given up yet and I ma still bugging the media as to why they are not showing it and I hope others are too.
In a few days the media will report that their trip was great etc when infact it was full of mistakes and shows that he and his racist bitter wife are not ready for this stage and they certainly need to get a grip and get some class
for those that think something might have been dropped:

You are absolutely right..he can do no wrong. the media is in his pocket worst than clinton.
compared to lettin his 'ho' grope the queen of England, this really illustrates where his true self resides...
erkle must loose major sleep each night with the inner conflict between his muslim roots and his comm-insky teachings that paved his rise to power...
LOL — 0bama doesn’t even know this. He’s so clueless.
Wonder if he gave the Saudi king an iPod... ;)
Kim I will be honest, I would rather have Hillary than this idiot.
He is so far left and in love with himself that he actually probably believes he is a messiah.
The media make me sick I just hope that when I go tot he tea party here I will have a chance to have a word with a few of them.
The ones from MSNBC,NBC are my top target to vent my feelings towards them on their reporting.
The trip was a success I bet they report when it wasn’t and it sure made the couple look out of their depth.
He acted like a little school boy and she acted like a woman with no class
“It also leads to bowing, which is a violation of God’s law. The faithful bow to no one but God.”
Watch Obama “bow to god”, according to the guy who said this:

So he not only offended the Brits - he’s also offended the Sauds? Stunning that the MSM is sooooooooo quiet about all of this. Then again, it’s not BIG - like spelling potato wrong...
What about pumping him full of hot lead? Is that still okay?
I guess it is fine for Baaarack to kiss a$$.
What could be more impure than what kissed the ring?
