| Subject: Malaysian Students protest Obama visit; throw shoes Sat Mar 06, 2010 5:26 pm | |
| SCORES of Islamic students staged protests outside Jakarta's parliament and in at least three other major Indonesian cities on Friday against President Barack Obama's upcoming visit to this predominantly Muslim country.
The students carried banners branding Mr Obama as an enemy of Islam and an imperialist in downtown Jakarta as well as in the provincial capitals Padang, Yogyakarta and Surabaya.
They also threw shoes at large pictures of Mr Obama's head. An Iraqi journalist was sentenced to a year in prison for throwing his shoes at US President George W. Bush during a news conference in Baghdad in 2008.
