Why is it insulting to show someone the bottom of your shoe/foot?
In Middle Eastern countries, it's an insult to show the soles of your feet and shoes. Apparently it's an insult. So if you wanted to insult somebody, you just twist your leg and show someone the sole of your foot?
It's definitely rude to show the bottom of your foot or shoe in Islam -- not sure why, but I have always assumed that there must be a verse in the Quran or some sort of traditional belief that bad thoughts/evil left via your feet. If you remember the coverage of the Iraqis pulling down the big Saddam statue, a lot of them were hitting it with their shoe(s).
I'm not Muslim, but I think there's a bit of tolerance for an obvious non-Muslim travelling in the region regarding some of these customs. It's appreciated if you do show respect and not do things intentionally. If it looked intentional, they'd understand the insult.
You also shouldn't wear shoes into a mosque but that might be more associated with not wanting people to bring dirt inside.
