Salaam Dear drsam,
I draw your attention to verse 3:7 in The Qur'aan. Besides, the truth of this matter is of one of the hidden ones. It is not one of the MUHKAMAAT either. I recommend that you just believe in it and do not delve into it trying to find its TA'VEEL/hidden meaning, just as The Qur'aan commends us to do so. Getting involve into these sorts of matters do not really solve anything from us and on the other hand creates controversies and confusion and at the end does not get us anywhere. We as the next to nothing servants of ALLAAH SWT have no saying regarding MUTASHAABIHAAT.
The Qur'aan verse 3:7
هُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنزَلَ عَلَيۡكَ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ مِنۡهُ ءَايَـٰتٌ۬ مُّحۡكَمَـٰتٌ هُنَّ أُمُّ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ وَأُخَرُ مُتَشَـٰبِهَـٰتٌ۬ۖ فَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِمۡ زَيۡغٌ۬ فَيَتَّبِعُونَ مَا تَشَـٰبَهَ مِنۡهُ ٱبۡتِغَآءَ ٱلۡفِتۡنَةِ وَٱبۡتِغَآءَ تَأۡوِيلِهِۦۗ وَمَا يَعۡلَمُ تَأۡوِيلَهُ ۥۤ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُۗ وَٱلرَّٲسِخُونَ فِى ٱلۡعِلۡمِ يَقُولُونَ ءَامَنَّا بِهِۦ كُلٌّ۬ مِّنۡ عِندِ رَبِّنَاۗ وَمَا يَذَّكَّرُ إِلَّآ أُوْلُواْ ٱلۡأَلۡبَـٰب (٧

Agreed :bravo:
I just wanted to add that the term "Ahl AlKitaab" is only addressed to 'People of Musa(AS)' and 'People of Eisa(AS), if I am not mistaken, inshaAllah. And 4:159 used the same term.
May Allah guide us all to His only path :pr

Nothing in the text indicates as such.
