They are there ? called out in Islam's holiest book. They are the djinn. Among the Muslim devout, there can be no question that these beings are among God's creation, right alongside humans and angels. The djinn are genies, jinn, jnun. The term means ?the hidden.? And, indeed, these mythological figures have been hidden in human consciousness since ancient, pre-Islamic times, revealing themselves through stories and superstition, but also through fervent belief.
While there are countless stories about djinn, most famously those in The Thousand and One Nights (also known as The Arabian Nights), existence of the djinn became legitimized with the words passed to the Prophet Mohammed. One particular passage from the Koran, Sura 72, called the Al-Jinn, is addressed entirely to djinn. The Koran reveals dictates for living and behavior of both djinn and humans.
Western lore interprets the existence of djinn primarily as Middle Eastern fable. Yet, some aspect of the djinn has been incorporated into European and American tales of fairies and evil spirits. Most cultures describe their own pantheon of spirits that bear startling similarities to the three types of djinn: marid are wicked and malicious spirits, like devils and demons; ifrit are strong and powerful spirits that are not necessarily evil; ghuls are lesser phantoms who can fly, much like ghosts and ghouls.
GIVEN FREE WILL
Shaitan is the best known and most feared of the marid. He was once known as Iblis, a djinn who was obedient to God. But, when commanded by God to bow to Adam, he refused and was cast out of Paradise. He was called Shaitan. This sequence may sound familiar to followers of the Bible as the story of Satan, a fallen angel. Yet, Muslims believe that angels, beings of supreme goodness and purity, are incapable of disobedience. It was the djinn who, possessing free will like humans, chose to defy God.
According to the Koran, God created humans from the clay of the earth, angels from celestial light, and the djinn from the smokeless fire. It is stated in one verse that djinn are older than humans: ?We created the djinn before, from the fire of hot wind.? [15:26-27]
The djinn are subject to the same laws of creation as man. And when they sin, they are cursed; considered to be followers of Iblis. However, not all djinn are evil. There are those among the djinn who are intelligent, even reverent. Like humans, djinn are born, marry, bear children, and interact in the world. Granting wishes is not among the purported capabilities of the djinn, however; this characteristic has been mythologized.
Like humans, djinn die. The Koran is in agreement with the Bible when it is stated that ?all upon the earth perishes.? However, the lifespan of djinn is exceptionally longer than that of humans. When they have revealed themselves, djinn are described as being similar to the human form, and not necessarily blue and bald. If they choose, they can mingle unnoticed among men.
HOLY PROTECTION AGAINST DJINN
Djinn who do evil are equivalent to demons of Christian lore. A summoned djinni can be mischievous and even malevolent. They are generally disruptive and intolerant of humans. And while they can wreak havoc in a household and even possess a human being, there are specific instructions for fending off their influence.
Muslims say the Arabic phrase, ?A'oo Thu Billahi min Ash Shaitan Arrajim? (meaning: O God, I seek refuge in You, from Shaitan the rejected) as a protection against djinn and when beginning recitation of the Koran. Different Surahs from the Quran ? such as Surah Falaq, Surah Naas and Surah Baqarrah (especially Ayat al-Qursi in Baqarrah) ? are specifically intended to prepare the prayerful to be safe from supernatural harm. Additional protection comes from reciting four ?Quls?, an Arabic word that means ?say?, known as Surah Falaq, Surah Naas, Surah Ikhlaas, and Surah Kafiroon. Other measures include reading at least 50 ayats (verses) of the Koran to protect against djinn.
DWELLING PLACES OF DJINN
As a community, the djinn can be massless, occupying what would seem to be small physical spaces. Yet, they can also expand and assume a physical dimension, travel the world in a flash, or inhabit animals, like cats, dogs, snakes, and scorpions. For the most part, they are invisible to humans. Many Muslims will avoid abandoned houses or areas, believing they attract habitation of the djinn.
Supposed remnants of djinn civilizations litter the world's archaeological digs. From the forgotten city of Ubar in the Rub al Khali, a trackless expanse of desert in southern Arabia, to the mystical and long-abandoned stronghold of Meda'in Saleh in northeastern Saudi Arabia, and its sister city, Petra, in southern Iraq. Across Afghanistan, Iran, and Egypt, ruins of ancient sites are still believed by many to harbor realms of the djinn. It is in Ubar that the primordial dwelling place of the djinn purportedly originated ? a city once known as Irem of the Pillars and which has carried forward in time as the unseen djinn kingdom of Jinnistan.
Whether djinn truly exist ultimately is a matter of personal belief. Millions of people in the world today are aware of djinn as creatures of myth; of those, easily thousands accept the presence of djinn as real, unseen wards of a parallel realm.
Women In The Koran
There are many misconceptions about Islam or Mohammedism as it should rightly be called. Western self-hatred; politically correct fascism; and an anti-Western educational and media establishment ascribe incorrect labels to the Mohammedan cult. Mohammedism is not a religion, it is not modern, and its main book the Koran, is overtly racist and supremacist. Time to ban it.
Why ban the Koran? The media and the insufferable Marxist-Feminist-anti Christian-post modern alliance refrain that it is a holy book. That is the work of God or at least a representation thereof. The Koran is equated in this distorted world view with the Bible. The cult of Mohammed, much like the leadership cults of Hitler, Lenin and Stalin, is thereby conflated, rather incredibly, with Christianity. The Koran and the Arab cult of Mohammed have nothing in common with the Bible or Christianity.
Christianity and the Bible have some key elements missing in the Mohammed cult and the Koran. The Golden Rule – do unto others as you would have done unto you – does not exist in the Koran. Neither does the division of church and state; tolerance of others; or the litany of ethical and behavioral concerns which make up most of the Bible.
If one does not believe that, than read the Koran. Did you ever wonder why the Koran can only be recited in Arabic? This would be akin to mandating that all Catholics must read their bible in the original Latin. Is this not a form of Arab imperialist intolerance?
The Koran leads inevitably to forms of fascistic governance – fascist in its rightly denoted terminology, not in the useless and incorrect sense it is used by the leftists and marxists in todays world.
Fascism is an extreme left wing concept which melds church and state into a cult; elevates the cult leader above the rest; partakes in excessive communalism and supremacism; and engages in jihadic war, endless propaganda, and Orwellian double talk to further its political goals. A fascist cult is at its root a political ideology and this is precisely what Mohammedism is. Fascism has nothing in common with, nor any relation to 'right wing' conservative concepts embedded in free trade; small government; and military power.
Fascism is an extremist communalist philosophy.
If we add in slavery; a genetic hatred of Jews and Christians; misogyny; pre modern cultist practices; ritualisation; and endless repetition of the cult's story line as found in the Koran, then yes you have a pretty nice formulation of a fascism.
Welcome to Mohammedism.
And this is the key element that most miss, when discussing the Arab cult. Mohammedism demands obedience to the cult's ideals. Islam meaning submission demands the prostration of the person to the Arab moon deity ali-ilah and the recognition that no free will exists since Allah determines all. Allah is the one or the thing, which will decide your fate. Submit, ask for his or its love, and hope for the best.
If this is not a cult than what is it?
Let's assume for now, that rational people will view Islam as the Mohammed cult – a stretch of the imagination to be certain. Would such a rational person than allow this cult to flood her or her's country in immigrants waves? Would the cult's text calling non-Muslims slaves, pigs and apes be allowed for study in that society? Would that society embrace Saudi money to support sundry 'churches', associations and lobby groups to infiltrate the host society?
Even today Mein Kampf is a best seller in the Arab world. Hitler and Nazism are still worshipped and supported across the Muslim world. Arabs and Muslims were allied with Hitler and the Communists for most of the last century. Arab and Muslims have engaged in an unrelenting jihadic war against non-Muslims for 1385 years. Would a sane society, infused supposedly with modern education, scientific tools and a high degree of rationality, willingly allow the subversion of its culture and state by such a cult?
If so why?
As already noted Islam is really Mohammedism – a cult, not a religion, missing as it were a vital element called the Golden Rule. Westerners rather stupidly seem to accept the Muslim's claims that the Koran and Islam are to be equated with the Bible and Christianity. This is about as dumb a conflation as stating that Hitlerism and Mein Kampf should be equated with Judaism and the Torah.
Since the West is, largely outside the US, a post-modern, post-Christian society, faith is deemed to be irrational and unseemly. But such a sentiment is only applied to Christians, not Mohammedans. For the average post modern secularist this peculiar hypocrisy is frightening – denigrate Christianity the basis of civilisation, but support and protect Mohammedism a cult which has butchered 300 millions since 622 A.D, including about 500.000 since 9-11.
Absurd.
The heart of the Arab imperial program is the fascist plan contained in the Koran – the Mein Kampf of Mohammed. Mosques, groups, schools and Mohemmadan practices all revolve around this book of gibberish and nonsense. It is one long diatribe against the kuffar or infidel and one long polemic demanding Muslim domination. Even Muslim 'thinkers' and 'philosophers' know this. These propagandists, including some of Mohammedism's most important writers, use the Koran as the premise for their hate of Western society and their insistence for Jihadic war:
-Ibn Khaldun [philosopher 8th century]: "All religious laws and practices and everything that the masses are expected to do requires group feeling. Only with the help of group feeling can a claim be successfully pressed,….Group feeling is necessary to the Muslim community. Its existence enables (the community) to fulfill what God expects of it."
-A.K.Brohi [Pakistani Muslim jurist 20th century]: "The individual if necessary has to be sacrificed in order that that the life of the organism be saved. Collectivity has a special sanctity attached to it in Islam....Freedom is Slavery.'
-Qutb [20th century Muslim and co-founder of the Muslim brotherhood]: 'The unbelievers were of three kinds: adversaries in war, people with treaties, and Dhimmies. The people with treaties eventually became Muslims, so there were only two kinds left: people at war and Dhimmies.'
Many, in fact thousands of quotes from Muslim 'thinkers' can be used, all of them utilizing Koranic doctrine and infallible Muslim supremacism to urge intolerance and a fascistic organisation of temporal affairs.
What is truly fantastical is that the Koran, with an almost unlimited number of passages crying out racism; Jew and Christian hatred, demanding submission and exhorting the killing of 'others' is not declared by the busy little minds of various Human Rights Commissions, a hate document. If I were to publish for instance, an anti-Gay commentary I would be sued. If I produce a leaflet denying the Holocaust or the rape of Nanking, I would likewise, and rightly be sued. But the Muslims can declaim hatred, advocate the killing of Jews and others, and fulminate weekly in their mosques against the West and nothing happens.
Human rights commissions should be investigating the Koran and Mohammedan mosques for hate speech, not bothering writers and websites who are publishing viewpoints.
This is perhaps the most ridiculous and pernicious aspect of multi-cult post modern stupidity. Mohammedans are free to spew their hate bile and animus towards any and all kuffars, but the kuffar is unable to express his or her considered viewpoint and criticize the Mohammed cult.
Insanity.
Why should the Koran be banned?
I will give you five reasons why this cult document should be banned:
1.It is a fascistic set of commands outlining Muslim aggression against the world. Its program is no different than that set out in Mein Kampf.
2.It is misogynistic and promotes female slavery.
3.It is racist.
4.It is supremacist and distorts young impressionable Muslim minds.
5.It has been used as the basis of war for 1385 years, and is directly responsible for the deaths of 300 million people. It is the guide for Arab imperialism.
It is in short the handbook for our enemies. By banning the Koran we can also open up the Mosques for inspection; understand their finances; regulate their programs of 'praying' and limit immigration. The tides would turn in favor of civilsiation.
It is all well and good to criticize and laugh at Christianity. Ha ha. Ho Ho. The small minds of the world might want to criticize, analyse and become sickened by the Koran. It is a document which demands a pre-modern view of the world, the destruction of civilisation; and the enslavement of women and kuffars. Maybe the little multi-cult minds and human rights councils can get busy with this threat instead of obsessing about polar bears; Guantanamo Bay; and Bushitler.
