Saudi family sues genie, alleges harassment - CNN.com
(CNN) — A family in Saudi Arabia has taken a genie to court, alleging theft and harassment, according to local media.
The lawsuit filed in Shariah court accuses the genie of leaving them threatening voicemails, stealing their cell phones and hurling rocks at them when they leave their house at night, said Al-Watan newspaper…
“We have to verify the truthfulness of this case despite the difficulty of doing so,” Sheikh Amr Al Salmi, the head of the court, told Al-Watan. “What makes this case and complaint more interesting is that it wasn’t filed by just one person. Every member of the family is part of this case.”….
“We began hearing strange noises,” the head of the family, who requested anonymity, told Al-Watan. “In the beginning, we didn’t take it seriously, but after that, stranger things started happening and the children got really scared when the genie began throwing stones.”…
In Islamic cultures, a belief in genies, or jinns, is common.Genies not only appear in pre-Islamic fiction such as “Arabian Nights,” but are also mentioned in the Quran.
Many Saudis believe invisible genies live among them and are capable of demonic possession and revenge.
OK. So, a genie is no different for a Poltergeist… How old are the kids? there was, in 1682, an report of a “stone throwing Devil” or Lithoboliathat tells of a Stone throwing demon. Islam. Christianity So modern, they’re mediaeval.
