The Hand Reading of a Terrorist

This is the hand of a known terrorist who is not being named.

Is this terrorist a typical specimen of his ilk? Probably. Was I surprised to see the type of personality his hand revealed him to be? Of course not. This is a hand often seen on criminals, the brute kind. Reading this hand confirmed what I (and I'm sure many others) believe – these mass murderers of innocents are not driven by religious ideals; they are not religious fanatics or religious extremists. They are not religious at all because they are driven by hatred, revenge, anger and greed, either for power or material gain. Driven as they are by these dark, and at times evil motives, they cannot be people of God but are inspired by the Devil. Using God as a mask to cover their evil deeds is very convenient. It is the same reason why so many priests abuse small children. This does not mean that priests are evil, but that child molesters and criminals often gravitate towards religious vocations because religion makes an excellent cover for their misdeeds.

The main features of this hand of a known terrorist are the excessively developed mounts, particularly the mount of Moon, the short thick fingers with the lower phalanges heavily developed and an average thumb which is conic at the tip with a very thick second phalange.

Worse is to come...the finger of Jupiter is not just short, it is also low-set, bent, with a short first phalange (if compared to the other first phalanges) and with a distinctively conic tip. And the Apollo finger is far too long. The mercury (pinky) finger is pointed with a good first phalange. The headline is weaker (in this case less well-etched) than the other lines and there appears to be a line connecting the head and heart lines although this last was not very clear from the photographs. Either that or the headline throws a branch upwards, joining the heartline.

These signs in combination tell us a story about this man, and it's not a flattering one. If the signs are taken separately they do not indicate anything alarming because they point to weaknesses that can be balanced out by the strengths of personality shown elsewhere. Unfortunately, in this case, the combination of signs shows a dangerous person.

The hand shows a personality which is weak and unwilling to see reason. By weak, it means someone who will sell out his closest aides to protect himself and that makes him a poor leader – of anything. As long as he is not caught, this person will do anything to achieve his aims. And his aims are name and glory and also money. There is zero impulse control. 

This hand belongs to someone who cares about public opinion and wants fame and name and would be willing to take risks to get it. He cares about public opinion but at the same time is likely to stoop to doing something quite shady – as long as he is never found out. His limited understanding of issues, impulsiveness, and lack of self-pride mean that he will likely do things without thinking. It is other people's opinion of him that matters, not his own opinion of himself, which in any case is poor. Low self-esteem, lack of self-pride, and cowardice is written on this hand. In combination with greed and high ambition, the result can never be good.

Aggression and short temper are present but this person is a mouse in his heart, inwardly frightened to come face to face with trouble and disapproval. He can fly into a rage if he does. Such a man will not hesitate to commit a crime if he feels he has the backing and support but will hide behind someone else. Status symbols and a good life matter a lot to him. He will not like to live a simple life. His physical drive is strong and as impulse control is not present, he is capable of anything. He has the kind of character who does anything he feels like as long as it pleases him.

Surely there are some good aspects to this terrorist's character? What about religious idealism? Actually, there is no idealism seen on the hand, and certainly not any deep religious idealism or religious belief. It is more a kind of stubborn righteousness that this person likes to push with brute force. Maybe to cover up his own feelings of inferiority. A certain level of intelligence is shown, and this person is also quite articulate, able to use words in a clever, elaborate and roundabout way. There is also an ability to evaluate people. He is quick and action-oriented.

There are similarities to other famous murderers, although the individual differences make each unique. This terrorist lacks the ideals found on the hands of Hitler, for example. Yes, Hitler had a strong belief system! 

This makes it seem like terrorists are a lot like the worst mass murderers of history, but in reality, they are far far worse. They are incapable of doing any good at all.
