Abbas
G.B. ENGLAND. London. 1992. Threatening Muslims. "No picture" said the tough looking muslim protecting his Imam at London's Speakers Corner in Hyde Park, refusing to say what group or sect he belonged to. When pressed to say the reason why, he offered to beat up the photographer. New converts to any religion are usually the ones more paranoiac about their faith. Muslims of Gujerati Indian origin believe that various hadiths (sayings) by the prophet forbid representation of the human face, and authorise only photography from the back.
