Decoding the Latest Cover of Zany Local Khomeinist Zafar B.'s 'Zine, Crescent International

Okay, so "takfir" is the age-old Islamic practice whereby one Muslim declares another Muslim to be un-Islamic, and therefore a "kafir"--an "infidel." The three little infidels on  the lighter side of the seesaw (which, please note, has Islam's crescent moon as its fulcrum) are an exceedingly skinny Barack Obama (to show he's a real lightweight?), Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah and Bibi Netanyahu, who's dressed like he's getting set to take part in the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. The much larger--and heavier--hand, middle finger extended in an upside down eff you, is decorated in the flags of, from top to bottom, "Palestine," Hezbollah and Iran. The imagery represents the Khomeinists crowing that they have bested, and are now much stronger than, their "takfiri" enemies--Great Satan, Little Satan and the Wahhabis, who are grouped together in/as a "brigade".
