According to modern author Elliot Horowitz, medieval Jews would often dress up Haman as a look-alike to Jesus, which provoked controversy with the Christian Church. This seems like an interesting footnote for the article, given the documented tendency in Jewish tradition to use symbolism in describing non-Jews or enemies of Judaism, for instance in cases where Amalekites are compared to Palestinians. The analogies also tend to apply with the figures of Esau and Rome. [1] ADM ( talk) 10:22, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Was Haman supposedly going to hang just Mordecai on a gallows, and not everyone else? I suppose his idea of "killing everybody" had been to use swords and knives, like the Crusaders later did and also the Hutus and Tutsis. — Rickyrab | Talk 12:33, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Haman (biblical figure) → Haman – Important biblical figure, the others seem rather obscure by comparison. The existing Haman article ought to be merged with Haman (disambiguation). PatGallacher ( talk) 13:19, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
The Haman (Islam) page is short. Should it just be integrated into the Haman page? Doremon764 ( talk) 04:04, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
