Apparently it is a high form of insult or the likes. I tried to find a picture with no luck though. There was a U.S. Marine cutting down one of the HUGE photos of Saddam shown on FOX News yesterday. He had most of it removed with only the top part of Saddam's face still remaining. An Iraqi citizen walked up to the picture, took off his shoe and was beating Saddam's face with it. He turned around, saw his friends or the camera on him and held his shoe up with glee ! Here is a link I did find via Google News Search:

Another wave of U.S. air strikes hit Baghdad at Dawn Saturday

Despite the apparent setbacks, Iraq was taking a hard line - denying military setbacks and verbally attacking its enemies in a show of public resolve.

Asked Friday night about an Iraqi counterattack, al-Sahhaf replied: "Our leadership and our armed forces will decide this, in what guarantees the defeat of those mercenaries, God willing."

Speaking of Rumsfeld and President George W. Bush, he declared: "Those only deserve to be hit with shoes."

I bet someone has that picture or a link to it though? . . .

I suspect that the thumbs up sign isn't viewed uniformly across the whole muslim world as an obscenity(though among Arabs it might be).

Hey ! I found your thread with the exact pic I was thinking about. Thanks, DG !

What does it mean?

Ah, the old "cobbler" offense, eh?

[P.O.E.]

Will any peaceniks be volunteering to serve as Glo-Coat shields?

Really showing my age here

I will pummel you with Prados!

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Do I even want to ask what is going on in that picture?

[JoJo Gunn]

Well, you might not. I just put "beaten with shoes" in Google and found the image. The page it came from isn't something to cheer the soul.

You were right, I didn't want to know.

Hard to believe that we live in the 21st century sometimes.
