Sharia Law is what you are probably thinking about. It covers pretty much everything, so I'm sure there is something in there about assaulting world leaders. And if there isn't, I'm sure there will be a meeting of a group of scholars who will debate and determine an appropriate outcome. And usually, that outcome is not a very nice one.
Just to bring it up, I'm not sure if anyone on here realizes the seriousness of shoes, particularly throwing them, in Islamic cultures. Shoes, and feet in general, are considered dirty and distasteful particularly the soles. Based on that fact alone, I am sure he will be punished accordingly.
