Wonder if there is anything in the Muslim culture the way he grasps his leg below the knee when he removes his shoe. Is this the way they are taught to remove a shoe before entering a mosque.

I believe it offends mohamed if one hold his knee while removing shoe. The punishment is death by stoning.
Let ´s hope and pray a mad mullah will believe me and order a fatwa on obama.

PS. the spelling of mohamed and obama without CAPITAL LETTER is Intentional.

Interesting point - although it does make for yet another silly photo of him. This is a great article - he is indeed a foreigner to America, Britain and European culture. What a mixed up kid his mother raised!

They seem to remove their shoes any way they want.

BTW, It’s possible to get around the requirement to remove ones shoes when entering a mosque at times.

When Pope Benedict visited the King Hussein Mosque in Amman, his hosts laid on an extra strip of carpet thru the mosque so the entire entourage cold keep their shoes on.
