Just to understand what you are saying, irregardless as to whether he was a russian peasant, why would that mean he couldn't be muslim?

I've been at podiums before, I've never used my shoe as a gavel.

And you are wrong about the significance of the shoe being used in Muslim culture. It is a very significant gesture.

Now, if you know he wasn't Muslim, fine, I actually don't know. But the reasons you posted doesn't show that.

Do you know what his religion was?

I know that the shoe does have significance in the Muslim culture. A sign of extreme disrespect. But remember, after the fall of Bagdhad, they were hitting the statue -- preferably on the face. Hitting a desk does not have the same kind of impact symbolically.

Kruschev was a Communist, his ancestors were Christian but at that time religion was forbidden in Russia/USSR. Communism WAS their religion.

When he said "WE" will bury you, he meant the USSR and Communism would bury the US and capitalism.

Different era, different fight. That was WW3. This is WW4.
