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

Some of this information is in "International reactions to the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy"

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
