We should create a "political costs" page: italian minister Roberto Calderoli resigned, change of Iran-Denmark relations etc.--TheFEARgod 13:19, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nigeria

[edit]

The article only mentions Muslims torching Christians. To my knowledge revenge attacks by Christians have happened in the southern/central part. MX44 10:10, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think it would be fair to include, at the start, the ratio of protestors-non, as misconceptions about that the 150 people were all innocents killed by protestors. Some of our listings here just say "three people were killed in Lahore", which further complicates things :\ Sherurcij (talk) (Terrorist Wikiproject) 00:26, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Misleading/innacurate human cost figures

[edit]

The total figure of 139 reached by cartoon body count DOES include those killed (christian AND muslim) in the nigerian riots - This needs to be corrected. [1]

I agree with Sherurcij the impression is given in the article that it was the cartoon protestors that killed 139 people, whereas upon closer scrutiny a significant proportion of the deaths seem to be the protestors themselves.

Finally, there is a contradiction between the penultimate statement in "human costs" and 139 figure, and it needs a citation.Wikipidian 06:06, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

summary?

[edit]

How about an introduction at the begenning of the article with a notice about the bodycount, global economic imact and so?

Renaming

[edit]

If there are no objections, I'll move this page to Human and economic costs in a few days and update incoming links. It's not a big change, but human costs are arguably the more important ones. --Kizor 10:04, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not that I care much one way or the other, but "... economic costs..." has that bad c-c alliteration, which the present title avoids. Azate 19:10, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any real source about how many people died?

[edit]

Is there any real source about how many people died? This would help for a university essay I'm writing, and the "over one hundred people" came from an archive site that doesn't even list its author. I'm pretty sure its written on a News Report somewhere, but I can't seem to find one?

Saudi Arabia never issued an official boycot.

[edit]

It was all done by Saudi citizens. Here is the English section of official Saudi press agency web site, http://www.spa.gov.sa/English/index.php where everything issued by the Saudi government is available. If it's not there, then the government never issued it..--Abo 3adel (talk) 14:48, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
