[edit] Use of language in this article
Terms like "hooligans" are unencyclopedic and slant the POV of an article. They are not appropriate. Salim555 22:56, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
I agree that "hooligans" has connotations that look down upon the mob, but I think the word should remain. The word describes the mob fairly. The definition of "hooligan" is "A tough and aggressive or violent youth." From reading the article this definition is the characterization of the mob.

[edit] state of state of
"state of state of" is presumably a misquote, but I don't have the original book. Art LaPella 23:45, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Original research
The title "Shiraz blood libel" is original research since there is no source that uses that term. I propose changing the name of the article. Agha Nader 22:29, 8 March 2007 (UTC)Agha Nader
- Not only that but only one source was used to state these things as fact. This is a contentious issue and the people who wrote this should take care to use more documentation. It seems to me that some people want to exagerrate tensions between Iran and Israel. Those "evil Jew-hating Iranians", right? FYI, just because Ahmadinejad is an idiot doesn't mean vast majority of Iranian peoples believe in that shit. Khorshid 08:37, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

- The blood libel is mentioned passingly in The Jews of Islam by Bernard Lewis on pages 183 and 218, also referencing Nataf's report published in Littman's work. Beit Or 20:21, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

- The important issue is that no reliable source has used the term "Shiraz blood libel". Using such a term as the title is original research. I propose changing the name of the article. Agha Nader 16:26, 11 March 2007 (UTC)Agha Nader
