A. Abbas
ISRAEL. Jerusalem. 1995. Ahl-e-Kitabis look upon the Old City from the Mount of Olives. The name "Ahl-e-Kitab" (People of the Book, in Arabic) was given by the photographer and adopted by two American families of Christian origin who follow both the Old and the New testament to the letter. They dress, feed and worship according to their interpretation of the Book. They live under tents in an olive grove on Mount Zion, hoping they will be called upon by Jeovah to build His third Temple. They carry verses on the back of their hands, for constant study. They believe Moses' fourth Commandment "Thou shall not make any idol" includes photography.
