There something just plain bent with the people of the middle east.
Logic & rational thinking just do not apply.

1. Attacking anyone is a bad plan & shows a lack of respect for human life
2. If your going to attack the president of the US , you are taking a very big risk that you will get killed.
3. If you are going to attack some and risk your life, the shoe is not the best choice of weapon, a paper airplane after all might get him in the eye or a least inflict a nasty paper cut

I think it must be their education system or lack there of
I guess most of them are home schooled by their ignorant parents who then home school their nit wit kids.

Each one of them ingraining in their idiot offspring:

1. A lack of respect for human life
2. A lack of respect for women
3. A undeniable belief that their god is the one and only.
4. All other religious beliefs are an insult to their god and must be eliminated
5. Hatred of the Jews and the west
6. They are Superior to all others
7. Violence is an acceptable approach to obtain their objectives
8. Acts of martyrdom will be rewarded in the after life

They really need to take some oil money and build an education system that does not subscribe to these beliefs

John, I think you need to respect the middle east as a whole and not generalize and build an image of all of them just by one person throwing a shoe at the US President.

I agree, what he did was very rude indeed. It doesn't neccessarily mean that he is uneducated, or thinks of the west as bad or whatever. We dont even know his religion, but most likely he is a muslim.

I think , you need to stop generalizing, and open your own mind and be more educated and smarter and show it in your post .

He did what he did because of hatred, of what the US President Bush has done to his country. It has killed millions of innocent people, not only in Iraq , but other countries. What would you do if a foreign President, came to your home country, destroyed your home country, "claiming to fight against terror" and literally, leaving your homeland to nothing but a piece of crap. No clean water, no housing, no food, no future.

That foreign President then comes to your country, has the guts to do so, and pull a farewell goodbye meeting or whatever? I mean, come on !

Anyways, I don't have all day to reply to your post but all of hte points you mentioned are indeed incorrect, and wrong.

By you saying what you've said, does that mean, that the people of your religion do respect women, respect others, and love everyone else and there is no violence, or not wrong doing or crimes in your land ? I mean common. There are bad people and good people in every single country.

Stop generalizing and stop spreading hate .

Maybe it's an arab thing, or maybe even specifically an Iraq thing--however it's not the first I've heard of it. I knew the significance of it the moment I heard the story.

you're correct Fuji, it's a significant insult in the Arab world not the entire Muslim world.

It is a traditional Muslim insult to throw your shoes at someone. It has cultural significance in that community that you are ignorant of. It is considered to be one of the worst, most humiliating insults to throw your shoes at a person.

Shoes and the bottom of your feet are considered to be disgusting/dirty in Muslim culture and people must remove their shoes before entering a home. Even showing the bottom of your foot to someone is considered to be an insult.

The meaning of throwing your shoes at somoene is something like you think the person is lower than dirt and that you would be degrading yourself by touching them if you assaulted them--if you slapped with your hand, your hand would then be dirty so only the bottom of your shoe is suitable.



In this case it's you who is ignorant. You saw something that you didn't comprehend and rather than realizing that there must be more to it than you were understanding you lept to the ignorant assumption that it meant the guy was stupid.

Fuji, are you a Muslim? Cuz if you are, you are terribly wrong. Stop posting bullshit. It is not a "traditional Muslim insult" to throw a shoe at someone.
That is the biggest crap I've ever heard.
And if you are not a Muslim, stop posting crap and behaving like you know everything.. Seriously.

There is no such thing as a traditional Muslim Insult . Islam or any other religion, (to my knowledge) does not have a "traditional insult" that i am aware of . No religion teaches how to insult anyone else.
He obviously threw a shoe because that was the only thing he could've thrown. Again, stop posting crap.

Yes - unfortunately for all of us he represented the United States or 8 years! Bush deserves to have something thrown at him - but I'm not thinking shoes!

He was elected by his own people .. Sad but true . Throwing shoes or anything else at him NOW won't harm him. Infact, it'll make him stronger.

He just needs to leave his seat, and then there will be a hope for something better to happen around the world ..

Stronger eh!
Then why did he duck?....:D

He ducked to prove he's been practicing ! :p
Whatever doesnt kill you.. MAKES YOU STRONGER ! : )

Now that he passed this, next thing you know, he'll be dodging bullets in Afghanistan ! his next stop ..

I seriously feel sorry for Bush . Infact he has killed millions of people .. Shame on him .. He deserves to pay for what he has done worldwide. However, as a human, i still respect him . Throwing shoes at him however, is not the way to make him pay .. lol

No Way!

He Ducked out of Nam because he was afraid of them bullets, so he surely won't be heading to Afghanistan, there's NO GREEN ZONE to hide him in over there!...:eek:

Oh please, Bush has not killed millions of people. I've heard the figure of 100,000, but even that is in dispute.

As to Bush, his reflexes are pretty good. Surprisingly so. If I'm not mistaken, I saw him smirk just after the attack.

Actually, the Jays could have used him, he aimed and went right for the strike zone, unfortunately it's pretty hard to get a strike when the strike zone keeps moving on you. :D
