Rare for MEMRI — a clip that isn’t much stranger than what you’d see on American television.
The jinn must have had a lot of confidence. Click the image to watch.
Update: The lord works in mysterious ways!

I think a call to the Amazing Randi may be needed here?

pullingmyhairout on October 11, 2006 at 10:35 AM

pullingmyhairout on October 11, 2006 at 10:36 AM
Somebody send that poor woman some Dixie Cups!

They ain’t Major Nelson’s genie.

Why do I think of this when I read about that woman?
Mr. Bingley on October 11, 2006 at 11:00 AM
Jinn is just an evil spirit or a sentient being mentioned n the Koran mostly called demons.
DrM2B on October 11, 2006 at 11:05 AM
Tech note: the video won’t work unless you’re running IE. *ptui* Will it be on EweTube?
*cough*
[Ya want some tanic for that jinn?]

Wasn’t that an episode on “I Dream Of Jeanie?” Evil jinn passing out vaginal hairball notes that Major Nelson will never marry?
That woman in yellow is a babe. What is she doing hanging out with guy that carries a paper shopping bag filled with virgin hairballs?
Islam is one whacky state of mind. They need more gin and less jinn.

mutant tape worms…

Okay…
This is just creepy.

Exorcist VIII: Jinn in the Knickers
Was the sheik showing the cloth to the audience or something more sinister with it so close to his nose.
On a more serious note, didn’t Muhammad think that Satan or a Jinn inspired the Koran in his initial visions?

Maybe tampons aren’t right for her?
Pam on October 11, 2006 at 12:31 PM
That woman must use her new powers for good and not evil…
jdpaz on October 11, 2006 at 12:49 PM
OK, so Mo did get one thing right….
ScottG on October 11, 2006 at 12:49 PM
Could the same lord work another miracle and make one of our male friends pregnant, and actually show us his handling of the pains of birthing. Please, lord :)
Entelechy on October 11, 2006 at 12:52 PM
Hehe…..good one Entelechy. Actually, a man’s real birthing pains come after the point when his sweet wife becomes a mother!
Really now, someone should be keeping a close eye on the little girl and limit her access to kitchen towels and stuff…
BacaDog on October 11, 2006 at 12:57 PM
I think y’all have missed the point here. This girl wasnt possessed by a “jinn”. It was this so-called Sheik who is possessed by GIN..big difference.
labwrs on October 11, 2006 at 1:01 PM
This is the creepiest thing I have seen! What was it all about and was that news? Or just some pedophile getting his strange jollies?
CrimsonFisted on October 11, 2006 at 2:36 PM
So the real question is, does this guy know he’s lying, or is it the girl that’s trying to see how far she can get people to take this jinn thing? Maybe she is trying to avoid an arranged marriage?

On the Update:
Just think, she shouldn’t have hiccups for years…!
Wedge Plissken on October 11, 2006 at 3:32 PM
“Hehe…..good one Entelechy. Actually, a man’s real birthing pains come after the point when his sweet wife becomes a mother!”
Actually HIS pain begins after their seventh year aniversary when all that they own becomes community property.
what a great society they live in.
If someone is about to disagree with you just say ‘praise Allah’ and they have to shut up and accept it as a miracle after that.
I love the way she was smiling through this clip, like gimme a break!

This situation with the cloth is not so unusal in terms of fraud.
Many hoaxters in Central and South America and in Asia use slight of hand to “remove” cloth and other objects from desparately ill and/or frightened people claiming that it is cancer or evil spirits (a jinn).
Now, the supernatural should not be pooh-poohed so quickly. Many responsible people have had encounters with spirits, ghosts, whatever.
In this case, I tend to doubt the Shiek’s claims that all of that stuff, if any, came out of that girl.
Notice when asked if that girl was still a virgin went unanswered? I don’t know why, but I get a strange, uneasy feeling that the Shiek did not answer.
And yes, that lady with the yellow scarf is indeed a babe. Notice her smiling? She knows the score in this situation!
Allah be praised (both of them!)
The False Dervish on October 11, 2006 at 4:44 PM
Eh, those things look like the Navajoe hair tampons that Cheech and Chong were selling at a holistic medicine shop in an episode of South Park.
EFG on October 11, 2006 at 8:30 PM
There is so much wrong going on in there that I don’t know where to begin.
1st. He carries the stanky, braided, hair balls around in a *Al Macys* bag!
2nd. Does the virgin *wink, wink* pull the grungy braided beard out of her puki, or does the sheik (it’s ok, I’m a doctor) do it for her? If so, I hope she was wearing one of those modesty gowns that are all the rage in Britain
3rd. For the love of God, get that shit away from your damn mouth!
4th. My theory: those are just the dreads from when she trimmed her sabot.
5th. Yellow scarf is a major piece of tail and can hardly keep from bursting out laughing at how these two gullible, dopey, religious fanatics are getting played by the little 14 year old minx.

Someone please tell me this is a comedy skit….
Tim Burton on October 11, 2006 at 8:34 PM
EFG you’re slaying me.
Alden Pyle on October 11, 2006 at 8:49 PM
“Excuse me, Sheik, but is this girl still a virgin?”
“Allah be praised. Allah be praised.”
Attila (Pillage Idiot) on October 11, 2006 at 9:11 PM
*laughing and falling off the chair* Remember when VW offered “one MILLION dollars to the first man to give birth in a Volkswagen”..part urban myth/part hope
You are too funny!
labwrs on October 11, 2006 at 10:34 PM
What is this… Al-Springer? Sheesh! That’s some beezar stuff.
MT on October 11, 2006 at 10:47 PM
Ya know, I’m a month away right now…why did ya have to mention that?
