Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad landed in Egypt yesterday and got a welcome kiss from Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi. But the Iranian leader got a decidedly different reaction in the midst of a crowd when a critic tried to hit him with his shoe.

A video posted by the Anadolu news agency shows a smiling Ahmadinejad shaking hands with a crowd of supporters in Cairo late Tuesday when at least one man threw a shoe toward him outside Al-Hussein mosque. Other men also threw shoes at Ahmadinejad, the Egyptian public prosecutor’s office said.
