Horned Hand or The Mano Cornuto :
This gesture is the satanic salute, a sign of recognition between and allegiance of members of Satanism or other unholy groups.

Excerpt above from the "Satanic Bible"

Take a look at the photos and decide for yourself.

Ahmadinejad


Bush


King Abdullah & Putin

Ahmadinejad is a fan of rock music. Bush is giving the hook'em horns salute since he's from Texas. Abdullah has an itch on his palm.

Okay,
So your assertion that Ahmadinejad is a Mason comes from the hand signal, nothing else?

When I was about 14, I used to go to an underage rock night.
And on the way home, the bus would be packed with us "metalheads".

And we would all wave like that at someone as they got off the bus, to each other, I remember walking down the street as the bus drove off to see a wall of people waving like that.

It didn't mean we were masons.
It meant we listened to music that hurts your ears.

Of course, Ahmadinejad could just be Slipknots biggest fan. Who knows?

Also, that hand gesture isn't used in Freemasonry anyway, so the whole thread is sort of beside the point.

In rock music, Gene Simmons claims he was the first to use it, and he makes it on the cover of the Kiss "Love Gun" album, which came out around '77 if memory serves. But even earlier than that was Ronnie James Dio, who sang with Elf in the late '60's, and reached superstardom in the '70's as the lead singer of Rainbow.

geez another thread like this? so what are ozzy concerts secretly all masons!
i never even saw that as a mason symbol so I dont know where people are getting it from. I also read the masonic books the original first editions and never saw that symbol in a any of the handbooks or traveling manuals. where are you getting this from? sauce plz

Is it just me? or ATS is being invaded by hordes of loonies both of those that believe all kind of conspiracies without even investigating and also those pro Glenn Beck republicans?

The site is/used to be great since most of the members usually investigate something before posting it. Now it's full of reptilian satanism posts

For your information that hand sign is used in many different cultures, in buddhism we call it Karana Muddhra and it's used against demons. I think that in catholic exorcisms it's used in a similar way..

It was La Vey who changed the meaning for such sign in America.

Massive thread fail.

1. The sign of the horns is not a Masonic gesture.
2. Freemasonry is illegal in Iran.

To claim that the the President of Iran is therefore a Freemason based on his exhibiting the sign of the horns is therefore nothing short of ridiculous.

C'mon, can we lift the standards in this place?!!! PLEASE!!! It's becoming a joke.

I thought it meant he's a Longhorns fan or somesuch.

So sue me for being wrong.
