I think he’s rather going to pick up a coin that fell down on the floor

Well, I agree with you on one point, and it is of very high importance to me.
As a Muslim, I will never bow to any person even the Prophet Mohamed (Peace Be Upon Him), not because I don’t respect him, but simply BECAUSE HE WOULD NOT LIKE ME TO BOW TO HIM.
We Muslims, we bow only to Allah.

You asked for a comment, here’s what i’ve got.

“What’s wrong with this picture? Americans do not bow to royalty. In my view, when the royal is the ruling tyrant of a despotic regime, the wrong is compounded. Putting aside the breach of American protocol, it is akin to Jimmy Carter succumbing to Brezhnev’s infamous kiss at the signing of the arms accord in Vienna in 1979. It is a disgrace. As in Carter’s case, Obama’s supplicant attitude signifies his spirit. In this respect I distinguish it from George Bush’s otherwise embarrasing handholding with the the king.”

For the record, the first thing I said walking out of Fahrenheit 911, as a certified liberal, was that the montage of Bush holding hands with various Saudis was despicable. I don’t know of any remotely serious people on the left who are bothered by that picture. Meanwhile, the response to Obama’s bow is deafening. I guess no one’s noticed that Bush did the same thing as President – http://alchemytoday.com/2009/04/03/obamas-bow-is-bushs-bow/
