To be fair, there is reference in the article to the complexity of the issue of this and other symbolisms, and different viewpoints are referenced.
Comparisons with the Confederate flag here are marginal at best; the likening of the Serbian salute to symbolisms associated with the Croatian Ustasha fascist regime - guilty of true genocide during WWII - is simply unacceptable.
And even alluding to "the Nazi strong-arm salute" is straight slander.

 E! News - Judging Simon's Finger   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
The Website said Cowell's extended middle finger "came during a heated exchange with fellow judge Paula Abdul." A check of the tape, though, shows Cowell's offending digit came into camera view on two occasions, neither of which involved Abdul, and neither of which involved a "heated exchange."
And besides, Cowell might argue, sometimes a middle finger is just a middle finger--except, of course, in Britain (from whence he hails) where the middle finger is actually the ol' "two-finger salute."
Cowell's active paw drifted into dicey middle-finger territory once as he rested his head on it while listening to contestant Fantasia Barrino sass him for urging her not to "become old." The finger made one other appearance--in the form of an apparent scratch--during an innocuous exchange with teen crooner John Stevens.
