Man says jinn started 21 fires at his house and heard incomprehensible voices

A Saudi man accused jinn (ghosts) of starting 21 fires at his house over a period of three years and that he often hears incomprehensible voices during the blazes.

Ibrahim Al Asiri said 10 of the incidents involved major fires which were extinguished by the civil defence and that he managed to put out the rest.

“The problem is that when I poured water on the fire, it gets bigger….while I extinguished some of those fires, I was hearing incomprehensible voices behind doors at my home,” he told the Saudi-owned MBC television channel.

He said that he had counted 21 fire incidents at his house in the southern Saudi province of Asir over the past three years.

“I am very much worried now…every time I go to bed, I start thinking there will be a fire…it could rage in any part of my house and there is no logical explanation for this.”

Sada newspaper quoted a civil defence spokesman as saying they would shortly issue a report on the fire accidents at Asiri’s house.

“We have issued a primary report quoting the house owner that he believes the fires were caused by jinn…but we don’t think so….we will soon issue a final report revealing the real causes of these fires,” Colonel Mohamed Al Asimi said.

Aren't ghosts and Jinn two different things?

Yes. Jinn are the origins of Genies. They’re part of Arab mythology, being made from smokeless fire. In Islam, Satan was originally a Jinn who refused to submit to God.

They’re somewhat closer to Angels than Ghosts, although Jinn seem to have greater free will than we think of Angels.

“Incomprehensible voices” are probably coming from any Democrat public official or aficionado thereof in this country.

Well, schizophrenia comes to mind, along with datura, LSD, Agent 15, Agent BZ, and certain fungi.

In this case, the question is moot. The answer is "schizophrenia", far more common among the inbred Muslims than any other identifiable group in the world, never mind that they have been self-selecting for psychotic behavior for many centuries.

I work with a Pakistani Muslim. The way he described jinn to me one day sounded like they believe a jinn is a demon — one of Satan’s minions.
