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 think it was rude... no matter how bad of a pres. he is, he still deserves respect.

Showing the soles of ones shoes is a sign of great disrespect in the Islamic world.

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...
