If a muslim throws a shoe at someone, he expresses deepest disdain / dishonor to this someone with that. If I was George W. Bush (which I'm glad I'm not) I would be ashamed beyond imagination to have lost my honor because everyone has seen him being dishonoured in such a way. If I was a Japanese also, I would have commited a seppuku if I was him.
But western people rarely understand the meaning of honor.
