It's both the highest insult a Muslim can deliver but at the same time a massively rude gesture. Hospitality is supposedly one of the facets of Islam, and by treating a guest in his own nation this way that reporter is being shunned by many Muslims.

Actually many Iraqis consider him a hero.

In Iraq it goes both ways, but I said Muslims, implying the more general Islamic faith.
yeah

you do understand that most muslims consider invading 2 countries for no reason and later causing the death 1,4+ million individuals and refugeeing 4+ million also disrespectful.
Not to speak about Sunnis and Shiites not being policed by anyone, which has created ethnic cleansing in most of Baghdad and other parts of Iraq. Mostly Sunnis as they're the minority.
but who gives a shit

bush certainly bears a big chunk of the mess caused, but islam arguably bears a bigger one; the vast majority of the violence in Iraq is muslims on muslims because of islam (the hatred between sunni and shia)
and don't call it ethnic cleansing. it's not, it's religious cleansing.

Are you sure about that? I remember reading a poll in 2007 that said 62% of Iraqis actually supported attacks on U.S troops, and that 92% of Iraqis want the U.S to leave the country within a year (76% saying they should leave now)
Among Iraqis, Bush's only popular among the elite within the Green Zone in Baghdad as well as some elements of the government. But we all know that the Iraqi government is a joke at this point, as it has no effect on what goes on in the country, and is mostly dominated by Shia militias.
By the way, I doubt Barrack Obama will be much different. Hussein or no Hussein.
