"Who throws a shoe? Honestly! You fight like a woman!"

An Iraqi man whose brother was killed in Norway’s worst peacetime massacre hurled a shoe at the confessed killer and urged him to “go to hell” in a rare outburst Friday that briefly interrupted the terror trial of Anders Behring Breivik.
The incident was the first display of anger inside the normally subdued court room where the far-right fanatic is being tried for the bomb-and-shooting attacks that left 77 people dead on July 22.
Hayder Mustafa Qasim, 20, traveled to Norway from Baghdad this week to attend the proceedings against Breivik in Oslo’s district court, his lawyer, Kari Nessa Nordtun, told The Associated Press.
His brother Karar Mustafa Qasim, a 19-year-old who had moved to Norway as an asylum-seeker, was among the victims of Breivik’s shooting rampage at a youth camp, Nordtun said.
“I took off my shoe, got up, shouted at the killer, got eye contact with him and threw the shoe,” Qasim was quoted as saying by the Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten.
“He was alone in Norway, without family,” Qasim said of his brother. “The killer took his life. And he ruined the life for me and the family. I have traveled from Iraq to Norway to be in court. And it has made an enormous impression on me.”
Throwing of shoes to insult someone has long been a form of protest in many countries, but the practice gained widespread attention when an Iraqi threw his shoes at then-U.S. President George W. Bush at a televised news conference in Baghdad in 2008 during the Iraq war.
