Throwing shoes is *very* insulting in Arab cultures. Its almost as bad as referring to Iran as an Arab culture.

Do take a moment to read this. It's not too long. 

"Gamal Abdel-Nasser taught us about belonging, and it is that sense of belonging that brought us back together again on 30 June [2013]," says 60-year-old labor union member Mohamed Abdel-Razek as the anniversary of the late leader's death approaches.

Nasser, who led the 23 July, 1952 revolution that toppled the British-backed monarchy in Egypt, passed away on 28 September, 1970. His funeral, which was attended by millions of mourners, is still considered one of the biggest funerals in history.

Egypt's Defense Minister Abdel Fattah Al Sisi put a wreath on tomb of former President Gamal Abdel Nasser in 43 anniversary of his death.

How many Syrian rebels does it take to change a light bulb? One to climb up, one to kick the ladder & one to blow up the electricity supply.
