BAGHDAD: A day after an Iraqi television journalist threw his shoes at President George W. Bush at a news conference here Sunday, his act of defiance toward the American commander in chief reverberated throughout Iraq and across the Arab world.
In Sadr City, the sprawling Baghdad suburb that has seen some of the most intense fighting between insurgents and U.S. soldiers since the 2003 invasion, thousands of people marched in his defense. In Syria, he was hailed as a hero. In Libya, he was given an award for courage.
Throughout much of the Arab world Monday, the shoe-throwing incident generated front-page headlines and continuing television news coverage. A thinly veiled glee could be discerned in much of the reporting, especially in the places where anti-American sentiment runs deepest.

The mid east is, and always will be a toilet that faces mecca.
ROFLAMO!!!!
We have a winner!
In a Civil Islamic way, the only appropriate response is to nuke the Hadj, Tehran and probably London.
Good point.
Of course, I probably would have laughed my ass off if Dubya had returned fire with a pork chop and hit that moron right between the eyes.
Yeah, I’m not getting it...maybe if he had put some dog crap in a bag and set it on fire outside of Bush’s door or maybe teepeed a tree in the front yard...
At a minimum we should make him wear panties on his head.
Anyone surprised at anything said or done by the arabs.
Bombing children in schools
Bombing children in their homes
Bombing busses
Bombing hospitals, universities, etc.
Shoe throwing, just piggish behaviour compared to the barbarity of the above list of outrages.
We are in Iraq to keep Iran from seizing the oil fields.
We are in Iraq so that Saddam Hussein did not march into Kuwait and then on to Saudi Arabia and seize the oil fields.
Our presence in the middle east keeps the world’s energy supply flowing.
As for democratizing the middle east.......never in a million years.
OK, I apologize for being un-PC. From now on, I will respectfully refer to them as “{friggin} liddle sheet-heads”.
It’s just too bad GW didn’t jump down off the podium and beat the SNOT out of this guy, break his nose, split his lip
etc,” You don’t dis the big dog, farking moron!”.
That would have been a reasonable response in the arab world, now they just think he’s weak.
I hope he has a surprise for them.
As I said in the other post, the ones who confronted us with guns are dead.
I think every member of that Secret Service detail should be fired immediately!

He does...his name is Obama.
Once again, the MUSLIMS are getting what they want with this matter. The whole idea of the shoe incident was to create this BS.
HEY brain dead MEDIA MORONS, they are MUSLIMS, the guy who threw the shoe is a MUSLIM, stop with the ARAB BS. MOST of all, they hate our AMERICAN Guts. The despicable Muslim putz DISRESPECTED TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES IS DEPLORABLE.
The question is: How would the media have reacted if that putz had thrown the shoe at BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA?
MSM newsrooms, Ithaca, Berkeley, Madison, Austin...
