Another frustrated but conscientious youth tried to hit an American with shoe. Luckily or unluckily, the shoe hurled at Clifford D. May , the President of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a conservative think tank chalking out policy plans for the US administration regarding the so-called war on terror, missed the target. According the news published today “A Karachi University (KU) student on Thursday threw a shoe at a visiting American journalist, Clifford May, who was to deliver a lecture at the varsity. Clifford escaped the attack when a student, Muhammad Hussain of Imamia Students Organization (ISO), hurled the shoe at him. The incident occurred during the question-answer session of the lecture on “Pakistan’s Role in Countering Terrorism” at the Department of International Relations (IR).
“The Nation” reports that the said programme was organized without the permission of the varsity administration and most of the concerned staffers of the said department had expressed their concerns and did not participate in the programme in protest.
Another largely circulated English daily The News reports that the incident is “the first of its kind in Pakistan”
Talking to Aaj news channel Muhammad Hussain told, “He just couldn’t control when the journalist humiliated Pakistanis. “It was the attitude of American Scholar which compel me to hurl shoe at him” Muhammad Hussain told the media and said that when the scholar called Muslims extremist and opted for a humiliating attitude when the students started asking questions regarding Iran” Hussain told that his life has become endanger and the angry American may kill him”
Journalist May who is a Republican and was said to be an active member of the party during George W. Bush’s administration, was speaking at the Department of International Relations (IR) on the topic ‘Pakistan’s Role in Countering the Challenge of Terrorism’ when a student of the department threw a shoe on the journalist.

Journalist May who is a Republican and was said to be an active member of the party during George W. Bush’s administration, was speaking at the Department of International Relations (IR) on the topic ‘Pakistan’s Role in Countering the Challenge of Terrorism’ when a student of the department threw a shoe on the journalist.
The student is inspired from Muntazer al-Zaidi who threw his 10 no shoe at George W. Bush, the leader of Clifford D. May. The Muslim youth in Islamic world seems to be inspired from the pioneer of Show throwing, the least which Muslim youth can do when their whole leadership has sold out and is bent upon selling the whole Ummah to the nation which consider it their religious duty to subjugate the Muslims in order to take their revenge of crusades.

Who is Clifford?
Clifford D. May is the President of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a policy institute focusing on terrorism created immediately following the 9/11 attacks on the United States.
He is also the Chairman of the Policy Committee of the Committee on the Present Danger (CPD), an international, non-partisan organization based in Washington D.C. comprised of leading members of the national security community. In 2008, The Daily Telegraph (U.K) named May one the “100 most influential conservatives in America.” That’s means he is responsible for what the American have done with Muslims and Muslim world for the last 10 years.
In 2006 he was appointed an advisor to the Iraq Study Group (Baker-Hamilton Commission) of the United States Institute of Peace, an independent nonpartisan national institution established and funded by Congress. [No need to tell what American did in Iraq]
The significance of Show Throwing
A Turkish student who threw a shoe at International Monetary Fund Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn has explained it one sentence. He said ‘He (Strauss-Kahn) is the representative of global capitalism. I tried to raise my views by protesting against him.” Similarly George W. Bush, Chadam Baram and Clifford D. May all are the representatives of aggression against free states and are thus devils who have made this world a living hell. The least Muslim youth can do is to tell them you’re not liked here. Thanks to Boston group like intellectuals [don’t forget infamous Hussain Haqqani] who assure the USA that you’re liked or even loved for your actions in Muslim States. Muhammad Hussain Has rightly said that the nation which has destroyed Afghanistan and Iraq and is responsible for killing of Women and children in Gaza and Lebanon has no right to teach us. May be some on like Hussain Haqqani come up with “argument” that it’s difficult to change others but it’s easy to change yourself. Dr Aamir has answer to this Question of Mir Jaffar known as Hussain Haqqani. Pls click here to watch this also. This article, Why I threw the shoe by Muntazer al-Zaidi defending his action may also be helpful in clearing in the misconception of those who are asking to say yes to every US order.

I am shocked to read about shoe throwing incident by IR student.
I was taught that universities are places to clash ideas and learn tolerance.
I am disgusted more coz i spent good number of years at IR Deptt.
Freedom of expression :p
imran i understand your concern but over here i disagree with you becuase true we must be tolerant of different ideas, but this guy is not a geust but an invader…he is trying to sell us something we dunt want. Also these people deserve a good show throwing as they are responsible for killing millions and are subject to war crimes.
Imran,
Universities are there to teach you to use your intellect, not learning tolerance. And university should have at least taught you to “not to react with stupidity”.
Take sometime before you act and register your responses.
However, I don’t agree with ” the shoe act”. Such action shows frustration, lack of their representation on higher levels. Within a min, throwing shoe act can explain an hour worth of speech.
Stupid thing to do to be honest,just walking out of the place along with a few friends would have been better.
Yeh sure! Thats what been done for last 50 years. Stop acting like losers. They crossed the limits, and so do others.
This is what the speaker was hoping for to show how intolerant are the audience. Mr Hussain oblighed
The writer of the article is incorrect. Mr May is not that influential in US. The incident off course will bring him some fame and more money for his right wing causes and thus making him more influential. Thank you Mr Hussain.
Its interesting reading your reactions.
Well, i am not aware you know this or not that Clifford D May’s religion is Jewish you can check on wikipedia and confirm this.
He was member of Bush’s administration, and member of Republican Zionist Coalition.
I am amaze to see some Pakistani supporting Clifford? why?
those who support Clifford are hired by these neocons too!
Yes, i agree to hussain point of view.
Beta Hussain People of Pakistan and of the Muslim World, are with you, dont worry!
