Read a book moron.
Showing the sole of your shoe has long been an insult in Arab culture To hit someone with that shoe – as Muntadar al-Zeidi (pictured) tried with President George W Bush – is seen as even worse. The shoe is considered dirty because it is on the ground and associated with the foot, the lowest part of the body

Might be a dumb question - but what do you do if you're sitting indian style? take off your shoes?

Why?


I’m trying to make it to every country in MENA before I die. So far I’ve been to 5.

I’ve just got a thing for mountains, deserts, Arab food, Arab architecture, and find the history and culture of the lands of the three Abrahmic faiths fascinating.

I wouldn’t want to stay a significant amount of time in Saudi Arabia, but I would never pass up the opportunity to go.

Rather than sitting Indian style, you would sit on top of your crossed ankles, so the soles of your feet are more behind you than to the side.
