| Yup, as said, the bottom of the shoe is supposed to be "dirty" to Muslims, and thus by throwing it, it's a pretty big sign of disrespect. If I'm correct, he also said, "It is the farewell kiss, you dog," or something, calling someone a "dog" also referring to them as being dirty and low, similar to how we might call someone a pig. |

I'm still loling about this a day later. I don't understand what the point of the shoe throwing was. Everyone knows you can dodge shoes, but you can't dodge a bullet. 
To expose one to the sole of your shoe or the bottom of your foot is a huge insult in the arab world... |
