Our Friends the Saudis

Weird • Views: 2,544

In one of the world’s richest theocratic countries, an outbreak of pesky spirits leads to legal action.

A family in Saudi Arabia is taking a “genie” to court, accusing it of theft and harassment, reports say.

They accuse the spirit of threatening them, throwing stones and stealing mobile phones, Al Watan newspaper said. The family have lived in the same house near the city of Medina for 15 years but say they only recently became aware of the spirit. They have now moved out.

A local court is investigating. In Islamic theology, genies are spirits that can harass or possess humans.

“We began to hear strange sounds,” the head of the family, who come from Mahd Al Dahab, told the Saudi daily. He did not want to be named. “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.”

He added: “A woman spoke to me first, and then a man. They said we should get out of the house.”

A local court says it is trying to verify the truthfulness of the claims “despite the difficulty” of doing so.

Because we all know how difficult it can be to prosecute a genie.

Wouldn't exorcism be more appropriate? You really can't rely on a genie to turn up in court at the right time.

15 Mostly sane, most of the time.  Sat, Jul 11, 2009 1:33:18pm

America, being a polyglot country, would never be able to clear the courts. We would have suits against djinns, genies, faeries, witches, wizards, golems, chupacabra, Bigfoot, Yeti's, the entire Greek panopoly, sprites, and probably Peter Pan...

What do you sue for, the granting of 3 wishes?

26 Shug  Sat, Jul 11, 2009 1:36:27pm

A government employee sits in his office, and out of boredom, decides to see what's in his old filing cabinet. He pokes through the contents and comes across an old brass lamp.
"This will look good on my mantel", he says, and takes it home with him.

While polishing the lamp, a genie appears and, as usual, grants him three wishes.

"I'd like an ice cold Coke right now!" He gets his Coke and drinks it. Now that he can think more clearly, he states his second wish. "I wish to be on an island of beautiful women, who find me irresistable."

Suddenly, he's on an island with gorgeous women eyeing him lustfully. He tells the genie his third and last wish. "I wish I'd never have to work again."

Instantly, if not sooner, he's back in his government office.

What do you sue for, the granting of 3 wishes?

Big deal. Hugh Hefner is being sued too:

HUGH HEFNER SUED FOR 3 BILLION

A woman claiming to be ''the most beautifulest angel lusefer (sic)'' has filed an incoherent lawsuit in which she demands $3 billion from Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner.

Hugh Hefner is being sued for $3 billion by a woman claiming she is the reincarnation of "Venus Aphrodite Demilio".
Sheri Allred - who also says she is possessed by "the most beautifulest angel lusefer (sic)" - has filed papers at the Los Angeles Superior Court in which she claims the Playboy mogul is part of a paedophile organisation which targeted her when she was five.
In the lengthy and incoherent statement, obtained by gossip website TMZ, Sheri alleges: "Yes, sir I am asking for 3 billion dollars from Mr. Hefner. He's been after me since I was a baby. Along with a pedifile organization in L.A. When I was about 5 yrs. Old He mysteriously was underneath my bed and he grabbed my arm and said that he and forsay the beatles and he mentioned the names of them. I asked like in my head, since I'm a hat everone in the world heres my thought's, a good way to establish peace. So I thought and said you'd better let go of my hand (sic)."
Sheri - who later insists she was "born the biggest hat in the world" - claims Hugh has ruined her life and the lives of her adopted parents.
She adds: "He's always mayed my life my adopted families lives a mess you realize he's suppose to be be the centaur of the greek gods. And since I'm really a reincarnation, I really am Venus Aphrodite Demilo the goddess. Along with roger dawson he's odyeseuos and everyone I know knows this (sic)."
In the rest of the suit, Sheri claims to be part of the "John Gotti Mafia" and says she belongs to the Gettys - the wealthy oil family.

And this is why the Islamists have no future: Women's opposition

Hate preacher Omar Bakri was facing fresh humiliation last night after another of his daughters defied his strict Muslim code. His 15-year-old daughter Raya has posted a picture of herself on Facebook - without a veil and baring her arms as she holds a cuddly toy. It comes after Raya’s 27-year-old sister Yasmin was exposed as a pole dancer by The Sun last year. Raya had been ordered to cover up from head-to-toe by Bakri, who is in exile in Lebanon. A source close to the family said last night: “Raya’s pictures on Facebook will make her father explode with rage. “He’s already been mortified by pictures of Yasmin half-naked.”

Freedom14 Attends July 4th Tea Party Tax Protest (via google search. Sorry, no chahe available)

Freedom14 activists attended a Tea Party tax protest Saturday, the Fourth of July, in the small South Orange County city of San Juan Capistrano. This event marked the first time our group has been able to work in cooperation with a similar minded organization and provided us the honor of coordinating much of our effort with the recently formed Golden State Party. Working in tandem with the GSP turned out to be an incredible benefit to our presentation because it allowed us the opportunity to point receptive listeners toward an immediately productive outlet for their newfound enlightenment.
....
Any trepidations of being isolated proved entirely unfounded as each of us were bombarded with interest prior even to putting everything together.
...
Shade provided by the booth’s canopy was probably our biggest attraction, as the sweltering sun beat down mercilessly on the fair complexions of an almost entirely White audience.

This was a huge learning experience for our group, and it finally allowed us to become firmly acquainted with the political environment in our area.

It comes after Raya’s 27-year-old sister Yasmin was exposed as a pole dancer by The Sun last year. Raya had been ordered to cover up from head-to-toe by Bakri, who is in exile in Lebanon. A source close to the family said last night: “Raya’s pictures on Facebook will make her father explode with rage. “He’s already been mortified by pictures of Yasmin half-naked.”

An American flag flown upside down as a protest in a northern Wisconsin village was seized by police before a Fourth of July parade and the businessman who flew it — an Iraq war veteran — claims the officers trespassed and stole his property.

A day after the parade, police returned the flag and the man's protest — over a liquor license — continued.

SNIP

Hours before a Fourth of July parade, four police officers went to Congine's property and removed the flag under the advice of Marinette County District Attorney Allen Brey.

Neighbor Steven Klein watched in disbelief.

"I said, 'What are you doing?' Klein said. "They said, 'It is none of your business.'"

The next day, police returned the flag.

SNIP

Marinette County Sheriff Jim Kanikula said it was not illegal to fly the flag upside down but people were upset and it was the Fourth of July.

"It is illegal to cause a disruption," he said.

SNIP

"It is pretty bad when I go and fight a tyrannical government somewhere else," Congine said, "and then I come home to find it right here at my front door."

This is one of those things that is sure to get the isolationists hot under the collar, and makes you wonder why some people radicalize in a middle class environment.

Jihad in Minnesota. Mall of America wasn't good enough for a group of Somalis who came over to the US, so they decided that they had to do something for their former "country". The FBI thinks that Ethiopia's invasion to deal with the Islamists was the triggering factor:

The men appear to have been motivated by a complex mix of politics and faith, and their communications show how some are trying to recruit other young Americans to their cause.

The case represents the largest group of American citizens suspected of joining an extremist movement affiliated with Al Qaeda. Although friends say the men have never thought of carrying out attacks in the United States, F.B.I. officials worry that with their training, ideology and American passports, there is a real danger that they could.

“This case is unlike anything we have encountered,” said Ralph S. Boelter, the special agent in charge of the F.B.I.’s Minneapolis office, which is leading the investigation.

Most of the men are Somali refugees who left the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul in two waves, starting in late 2007. While religious devotion may have predisposed them to sympathize with the Islamist cause in Somalia, it took a major geopolitical event — the Ethiopian invasion of their homeland in 2006 — to spur them to join what they saw as a legitimate resistance movement, said friends of the men.

One decided that it was best to be a suicide bomber.

Legitimate resistance movement? The Islamic Courts was a jihadi group that imposed Sharia and engaged in wanton killing. But these thugs decided that jihad was the recourse.

President Obama is stepping up efforts to maintain public support for his agenda as rising unemployment presents him with the biggest test of his political strength since taking office.

Faced with an economic downturn that has proved deeper than the White House initially projected, Mr. Obama asked Americans on Saturday to remain patient, arguing that his $787 billion stimulus plan had saved the economy from collapse and put it on a gradual course to recovery.

Nah, Jimmah. When you reach this, that is when you know you've delved too deeply into youtube. Do not stare for over long, as it will be staring back at you.

LOL! You've spent too long down there, SB!

Did you notice btw, in the Obama video- that strangely compelling girl who pops up fairly regularly in it? Reminds me of - ahem - Whitney Houston, if you catch my drift.

How's that stimulus working out for you?

President Urges Public Patience on Economy

Patience! PATIENCE! You mean the bill that was rushed through Congress so fast that no one could read it because it was IMPERATIVE to pass it because it would SAVE the economy hasn't worked yet? Color me shocked. Hey, Mr. President, since you've taken office, the country has lost two million jobs. Unemployment has also gone FAR over what you said this bill would limit it to. Less than 8%? Try 9.5 already.

You're a joke.
Your package is a joke.
Your administration is a joke.
America is the punchline.

re: #306 Lincolntf
Oh yes. Not disagreeing. It is very hard to balance Nat'l Sec. and the 1st amend. I still believe a majority of the mosques and imams in this country are preaching jihad.

As for Genies, Barbara Eden is my favorite.
As for the "supernatural", all I'll say is that I lived in a house that had some very strange things going on............still not convinced but there were some occurrences that no one can explain. But I never consulted a lawyer.

One of two things: Either shit like this is the Saudi equivalent of our reality tv, or Saudis are just fucking insane.

Does this genie look at all like Barbara Eden? Sounds like a new CBS comedy.

re: #33 Occasional Reader

Barbara Eden as "Jeannie" was actually one of the first characters on t.v. who made me go "boing".

/sorry


Genie bewitched me! To note something which made me go "boing" before Barbara Eden was Gerald McBoing-Boing a creation of Dr Seuss in 1951.


Genie is out of the bottle, but the cat is in the hat.

re: #13 ggt

So, from whom, exactly are they trying to scam money?

I think Occasional Reader might have suggested the answer to this question with his "Amityville Horror" reference. And if the Saudi family are indeed following in the footsteps of George and Kathy Lutz, the answer would be that they're hoping to scam the book-buying and movie-watching Arab public at large by selling the media rights for a big pile of riyals.

Well. Just cut the genie's head off. Isn't that the way they get rid of problems in Saudia Arabia?

325 martinsmithy  Mon, Jul 13, 2009 11:06:22am

When I read the headline, I thought "pesky spirits" might be that old Saudi taboo, a glass of beer.

But I see that it's genies we're talking about. So never mind.

Dr. Egon Spengler: There's something very important I forgot to tell you.
Dr. Peter Venkman: What?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Don't cross the streams.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Why?
Dr. Egon Spengler: It would be bad.
Dr. Peter Venkman: I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean, "bad"?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.
Dr Ray Stantz: Total protonic reversal.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Right. That's bad. Okay. All right. Important safety tip. Thanks, Egon.

That is so cute! I know plenty of people who would agree that they have a genie who moves glasses, and cell phones and purses, and keys. Most of us just blame it on getting older.

328 David Gillies  Mon, Jul 13, 2009 11:50:26pm

Saudi Arabia isn't a country, it's a family, as someone who I'm too lazy to google said. And when you couple the intrinsically catastrophic idiocy that is Wahabbism with the Russian-roulette-with-an-automatic that is marrying your first cousin since long before Charles II of Spain showed us what a bad idea that was, you're going to end up with people who are essentially not living in the same reality as the rest of us.
