Indonesian students protest Barack Obama's visit - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100305/ap_on_re_as/as_indonesia_obama - broken link)

The students carried banners branding Obama as an enemy of Islam and an imperialist in downtown Jakarta as well as in the provincial capitals Padang, Yogyakarta and Surabaya.

They also threw shoes at large pictures of Obama's head. An Iraqi journalist was sentenced to a year in prison for throwing his shoes at U.S. President George W. Bush during a news conference in Baghdad in 2008.

We all know that throwing your shoes at someone is the ultimate sign of disgust and disrespect.

This is rather shocking considering obama spent so much time there, as a muslim no less.
