| Family Sues Genie in Shariah Court |
| 2009-07-13 |
| Hey, Mahmoud. Check this one out. Jeddah -- A family in Mahd Al Dahab, near the holy city of Madinah, has filed a suit in the Shariah court there alleging that an unnamed genie has been stealing things from the house and harassing family members by pelting them with stones when they go out at night. Ummmmmmmmmm...so whaddya want us to do about it? According to a report in the Arabic daily Al Watan on Wednesday, the family has been living in the same house for 15 years, but claims that only recently it began to feel the presence of genie. Should've gone to the mosque and got some Genie Be Gone right then. Have the imam whip you up a batch. The lawsuit accuses the genie of stealing mobile phones, and sending threatening voice messages through cell-phones to vacate the house. GET OUT...INFIDEL! "We began to hear strange sounds. At first we did not take it seriously, but then stranger things started to happen and the children got particularly scared when the genie started throwing stones," the head of the family, who requested anonymity, told the Saudi daily. No three wishes? The bastid... "A woman spoke to me first, and then a man. They said we should get out of the house," the man added. So...there's two genies? Sheikh Amr Al Salmi, head of the local Shariah court, said, "We have to look into this case and verify its truthfulness despite the difficulty of its consideration. Cuz it's in the Koran. Someplace. "What is interesting is that the complaint has come from every member of the family, and not just one." Ha! There you have it, you sheikhyness! The defense rests! He said that a local charity had provided the family with alternative accommodation near to their village until the issue was resolved. Oh. Hi. You must be the genie people? You didn't bring him along, did ya? |

| #5 They've got my sympathies what with being afflicted with evil djinns and all. I've had some bad experiences with evil gin myself. |
