What does he mean when he says that our thumb finger opposition isn't
all that it might be? I found that kind of strange...

Sorry, but that's the Treaty with Tripoli, not Washington, and it's
part of a sentence.
"Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in
any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no
character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of
Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act
of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the
parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever
produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two
countries."
