Bush shoeing incident : ウィキペディア英語版 | Bush shoeing incident
The Bush shoeing incident took place during an Iraqi press conference on December 14, 2008. Iraqi journalist Muntadhar al-Zaidi threw both of his shoes at then-United States President George W. Bush. Bush ducked, avoiding being hit by either of the shoes. al-Zaidi was subsequently grabbed, kicked and hurried out of the room by former Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's guards. Though effigies of many United States Presidents had long appeared with shoes on them all over the Middle East,〔(Bush shoe-ing worst Arab insult ), BBC, 16 December 2008.〕 it wasn't until then that shoeing had received widespread notability. Since then, there have been many other shoeing incidents on an international scale. ==Context==
Shoes are considered unclean in the Arab World. Matthew Cassel of ''The Electronic Intifada'' in the context of the "Bush shoeing" incident has expressed the opinion that the Western media overplayed the phenomenon as being "Arab" in particular.〔(The shoe heard round the world ), Matthew Cassel, Arab-American News.com, 20 December 2008. Retrieved 21 December 2008.〕
