New in PJ Media:
The Israelis have astounded the world in recent weeks with several unparalleled feats of wartime ingenuity, most notably the explosion of thousands of pagers that belonged to high-level Hezbollah operatives. Topping even that was the elimination of arch-terrorist and media darling Hassan Nasrallah of Hezbollah, who had been in hiding for nearly two decades and was in a bunker sixty feet underground when the Israelis found a way to take him out. One Muslim cleric in Iran, however, is certain that the Israelis’ success can’t be ascribed to their ingenuity; he thinks they had some help. Help, that is, of the supernatural variety.
Mostafa Karami, who teaches at a Shi’ite Muslim seminary in Iran, said Sunday that the Israelis were able to kill Nasrallah not by the power of any human agency, but only with the aid of jinn, who are better known in the West as genies. Karami didn’t say whether or not the Israelis employed the services of Barbara Eden of “I Dream of Jeannie” for this operation, but as Ms. Eden is now 93 years old, she is unlikely to have participated.
Karami also remained about whether or not the Israelis have a secret laboratory full of bottles, from which they summon their trained jinn whenever they need them to carry out special ops. The jinn, according to the Qur’an, are spirit beings that Allah created from “smokeless fire” (55:15). They can be dangerous; the Qur’an says that some of them even try to turn prophets away from their mission: “In this way we have appointed an adversary to every prophet, satans of mankind and jinn who inspire in one another plausible discourse through guile.” (6:112) The “assembly of the jinn” has “seduced many among mankind.” (6:128)
The twentieth-century Islamic scholar Muhammad ibn al-Uthaymeen states a standard Muslim view when he asserts that while human beings cannot see jinn, “undoubtedly the jinn can have a harmful effect on humans, and they could even kill them.” Hmmm. Did the jinns not only lead the Israelis to Nasrallah but do him in themselves?
Al-Uthaymeen adds that the jinn “may harm a person by throwing stones at him, or by trying to terrify him, and other things that are proven in the sunnah (prophetic teachings) or indicated by real events… There are numerous reports which indicate that a man may come to a deserted area, and a stone may be thrown at him, but he does not see anybody, or he may hear voices or a rustling sound like the rustling of trees, and other things that may make him feel distressed and scared. A jinn may also enter the body of a human, either because of love or with the intention of harming him, or for some other reason.” Were Hassan Nasrallah’s last moments filled with that kind of jinn-inspired confusion and terror? We may never know.
There is more. Read the rest here.

To me, an interesting question to ponder: Is the God of Jews and Christiams the jinn of Muslims? Many people I know would have would have at least mild agreement with the idea.
Edward Amos Brandwein says
I don’t know it’s the same cleric who said we received help from a djinn
John Pepple says
If it’s supernatural, why jinn rather than Allah?
Frank Anderson says
One possible explanation is that Allah is the only god for Muslims. Just as there is One God for Jews and Three Manifestations of One God to Christians. Any opposing “being” is explained by “scholars”.
FYI says
oh i see:he didn’t read Zechariah chapts 12-14 so he probably doesn’t know about..
HA-SHEM/YHWH/God’s
warning sbout Jerusalem zechariach 12 v 9
or
warning about the utter catastrophe facing nations that attack israel Zechariah 14 v 12.
{I like to call this line the Ha-Shem checkmate}
Bible scholars know that messing with Israel is a big mistake because of who owns the land.it ‘s not “allah’s” land is it?
No point explining to the Lefties/muslims/Media!
I have always been a bit bothered by Zechariah 14 v 12:.It must have mystified Zechariah!
An analogy:there is a deadly poisonous snake on the loose in a room.A sign is put up on the door.”Keep out!Danger!stay away signed Zechariah.You wouldn’t go into that room would you?Sure enough,a complete idiot,at nighttime,sees the sign and goes into the room”Meh.What’s the worst that could happen?”..goes in is bitten …and dies instantly.Nobody warned him???
Zechariah 14 v 12
Jews and Christians who understand prophecy should see this
Who owns the Land of Israel?
“MY LAND”
Jeremiah 2:7
What will God/Ha Shem do to nations that make war on Jerusalem?
Zechariah 12 v9,Zechariah 14 v 12
Dfficult time for Israel “I will test them as gold is Tested”
That’s not the IDF!That’s what God/yhwh/Ha-shem will do
allah of the kaaba cult is NOT the Biblical/Torah God
I support Israel and its people.Prophecy is on the side of Israel..

mozlums…even the most respected (by other moslums), the clerics, the ‘scholars,’ the leaders of the mobs, are so confused about everything having to do with the Bible, with the Jews, Christians, God, Jesus, and angels. They understand nothing. As for wicked/evil spirits, mozlums are the ones being led about by them like bulls with nose rings.
In knowing anything, mozlums are like a large pot of cooked spaghetti, all tangled together and contradictory.
If the Jews are getting Supernatural Help, it’s Divine, not demonic.
Mike says
Perhaps the Genie of the Lamp and the Genie of the Ring who helped Aladdin are now helping Israel.

Reading up on these Jinn’s. My favorite is Hantu tetek (breast ghost) She has 2 or 3 gigantic breasts that she uses to suffocate people in the night. What is hilarious to me is she appears in numerous strange Japanese Animes. The character does not go by the name of Hantu Tetek, but she does use her gigantic hooters to smother her enemies. Her character is often see in animes from the GAINAX Studio. If you want a laugh look up gainaxing.

The Israelis did have ‘supernatural’ help in killing Nasrallah. The help came from God.
abu taleb says
47:7 O ye who believe! If ye help Allah, He will help you and will make your foothold firm. (Pickthall)
Allah doesn’t help Hezbollah and Hamas because Hezbollah and Hamas do not help Allah?
Or Allah is not able to help them because the jinn are more powerful than Allah?
And why does Allah cry for help?
Will somebody enlighten me? LOL

Reminds me of when Major Nelson told another Middle Eastern person being Jeannie about a new kind of magic: technology.

“The twentieth-century Islamic scholar Muhammad ibn al-Uthaymeen states a standard Muslim view when he asserts that while human beings cannot see jinn, “undoubtedly the jinn can have a harmful effect on humans, and they could even kill them.” ”
Scholar indeed, now we know that Muslim ‘scholars’ are either devoid of true scholarship or actually mentally impaired. In fact I would also go so far to say that all Islam and indeed all religions are a form of insanity. In fact any psychiatrist wouldd assume that if his patient sees or believes in things that do not exist
they are mentally impaired.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone to all people: all that shall lift it up shall be rent and torn, and all the kingdoms of the earth shall be gathered together against her. 4 In that day, saith the Lord, I will strike every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open my eyes upon the house of Juda, and will strike every horse of the nations with blindness. 5 And the governors of Juda shall say in their heart: Let the inhabitants of Jerusalem be strengthened for me in the Lord of hosts, their God. Zechariah. 12:3-5
