GERMANY: Muslim airport employees photographed giving one-finger ISIS salute on Düsseldorf Airport tarmac....Any airport hiring Muslims and letting them near any plane is pure lunacy!

 

The Muslim airport workers in this photo are clearly making the sign of allegiance to the Islamic State (ISIS) terror group: the upraised index finger. Muslims in general have used it as a sign of allegiance to tawhid, Islam’s absolute monotheism. However, in recent years it has become mainly associated with allegiance to violent jihad groups, particularly the Islamic State.

Naijaonpoint (h/t Marvin W) This signal has been known to be a sign of allegiance to the Islamic State for almost as long as there has been an Islamic State. It has been described as the group’s “ubiquitous hand signal.” The Islamic State militants, known as ISIS, are now using a single, raised index finger as the symbol of their cause. It’s a well-known sign of power and victory around the world, but for ISIS, it has a more sinister meaning. 

As Robert Spencer explains Muslims, in general, have used it as a sign of allegiance to tawhid, Islam’s absolute monotheism. However, in recent years it has become very much associated with allegiance to jihad groups, particularly the Islamic State. This signal has been known to be a sign of allegiance to the Islamic State for almost as long as there has been an Islamic State. It has been described as the group’s “ubiquitous hand signal.”

The German federal police reacted immediately. A spokeswoman told the paper: “Based on the footage of the people, all three were identified as employees of a company commissioned by the airport operator and airline.”

According to the German newspaper Bild, there are three German citizens named Mohamed AR, Hamit A., and Serhat I. The men are between 19 and 20 years old. All three were also born in Germany. Nevertheless, they felt they belonged to the Muslim terrorists of the “Islamic State.”
