Must have been a surprise to the King. After all, since 2005, kissing the King's hand has been banned in Saudi Arabia. It is perhaps interesting to note that Obama was the only person to bow to anybody at the entire event, which was the gathering for the official photo of the G-20 leaders.
Yes, Barack Obama needs lessons on over-spending from socialists and communists, lessons on courtesy from anybody's grandmother, and lessons on freedom from the monarch of a country governed by Sharia law, according to which (says Obama's Department of State) women and children are considered household property.
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."
I'm sick.
"Yes, Barack Obama need lessons on over-spending from socialists and communists, lessons on courtesy from anybody's grandmother, and lessons on freedom from the monarch of a country governed by Sharia law, according to which (says Obama's Department of State) women and children are considered household property."-- OUCH!
