This and the 'dog' comment -- dogs are also considered unclean so the combination of throwing the shoes and calling him a dog were serious insults. And from what I've read, sentiment is pretty split, there are as many people holding rallies in his honor and calling for his release as there are saying it was embarrassing and he should apologize, so it will be interesting to see how he's dealt with.
