Many people believe in 'jinn' (spirits), but is it possible that one of those spirits sets up an account on Twitter and says he is a “real and peaceful jinn” who lives in Saudi Arabia and want to know humans.
The Saudi Arabic language daily Ajel published what it described as a copy of a Twitter account whose holder is claiming to be a Jinn.
The account is titled “I am a real Jinn” and says:"To all humans… I am the first Jinn to use Twitter… some might think that I am pretending and that I am human… actually, I am a real Jinn and you will see wonders in the future on my Twitter account.”
The message goes on: "I am a real Jinn who likes to be a brother to all humans. I am peaceful and do not like to hurt anyone. I like to mingle with humans and know their behavior. I live in a deserted house in Saudi Arabia.”
The paper said one reader tried to contact that account by using a fake name but quoted the reader as saying he was quickly identified by that account user.
“He mentioned my real full name and where I live, including the name of the neighbourhood and the city. I was shocked and instantly uttered prayers.”
Okay....
Send him some bacon.
Oh yes, it’s real. Posts on the FR Religion Forum pretending to be a Christian of some kind.

To put this into prospective for non-Islamic folks...a Jinn is a being beyond angels or the devil, and can be good, bad, or just in-different. Now, what you really ought to take away from the Jinn stuff...Muslims tend to believe in this stuff....like Catholics believe in demons.
If you can find enough naive Muslims, and profess that you are a Jinn....and speak in a nature of authority...you have their full attention. An awful smart person, with creativity....could shift a bunch of Muslims into a different direction....if he could pull off a five-star Jinn act.
So, don’t cast this as joke. It might just be something that could be useful later.
Jeff Dunham, please pick up the courtesy phone!
I’ll have a Jinn and tonic, thanks.
I guess Catholic believe in them because they are mentioned in the Bible?
what does a jinn need with a twitter account?
Back in the bottle, Jeannie.
If he wants to know humans why does he live in a deserted house?
I know the guy. We play Jinn rummy every Tuesday evening.
I am a real Jinn and you will see wonders in the future on my Twitter account.

BTW, "jinn" (or, as every good Scrabble player knows, "jin" or "djin" or "djinn") is the root of our word "genie." One of a surprisingly large number of Arabic words that have made their way into English.
Someone’s been uncorking the gin again.
Doesn’t say how old this djin is.
Somewhere in Israel, there’s a Mossad psyops tech sitting in his cubicle getting high-fives from his buddies.
