This is a fascinating article from The Economist on the belief in jinn in Somalia and Afghanistan today and its relevance to current events. Thanks to Neil Gaiman for the pointer.

Thanks for the link; Professor Hasan El-Shamy, my M.A. thesis advisor and mentor at the Folklore Institute, was an expert on jinn beliefs, and I always found them fascinating.
