As Twitchy reported, a shoeless President Obama made his first visit to a U.S. mosque today in Baltimore, where he traced the history of Islam in American and unveiled his strategy to confront the “inexcusable political rhetoric” directed against American Muslims: add some Muslim characters to TV shows that aren’t about tracking down Muslim terrorists.
The president closed by wishing God’s peace upon the audience before putting his shoes back on and heading back to the White House. Reporter Andrew Beatty, however, learned firsthand one of the dangers of the religion of peace.
That time Obama spoke in a Mosque and my shoes were moved from outside the door, so I had to motorcade back to the White House in socks.

That’s un-American.
@AndrewBeatty @OKnox Yup. One thing young Muslims learn early. Find a special spot for your shoes somewhere in the entryway!

It serves us right for being bitter clingers to our footwear.
