I always thought Jinn spoke in tongues like --
"Break, break, I have a fire mission - over"

If you're looking for interesting short stories involving genies, I recommend the 1001 Nights (otherwise known as the Arabian Nights). A lot of it is very definitely PG-13 (for violence), which is why I was only exposed to Ali Baba and Aladdin back in school.

...grew feverish over reports of
jinn haunting and raping women in the district. So when a young woman stumbled out of the forest one day, unkempt and deranged, she was denounced as a jinn. Villagers beat her almost to death. Police finished the job with six bullets at close range.
Why do they always attack the victim?

Remember, in Casablanca, Bogart saying, "Of all the jinn joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine."

maybe a load of cheap brass utensils ought to be dumped on them. let them spend their time in rubbing and polishing the lamps and trying to open empty cucurbits, rather in more harmful activities.

I dream of djiini
With the bright green hair-
Borne like foul vapor
On the hot desert air...

Some Jinn's are more scary than others!
To: liege
Why do they always attack the victim? Because the victim has already proved to be an easy target. If they went after the perp, someone might get hurt.
