The Qur’an
West Bank style
Palestinian girls in Salem village, near the West Bank city of Nablus, read verses of the Qur’an before the evening Iftar meal, eaten after dusk to break the daily fast during the period of Ramadan.
Palestinians include Christians and Muslims, as well as many people who are secularists. However, the Israel/Palestine conflict has fanned the flames of religious fervour on both sides, since many sites in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories are sacred to all three Abrahamic religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
