Scott,
While the Magi or "Fire Worshippers" are mentioned in the Qu'ran, I don't think
they're counted as People of the Book. Of course some Muslim scholars have a
lose interpretation of this, and I have heard of some Moghuls even justifying
People of the Book status for Hindus and Buddhists. By and large however, I
believe the term signifies Jews, Christians, and Sabeans; with a lot of
controversy over what a Sabien is.
