I am not too sure what JINNS or even alujonnu are.

Perhaps they are like the mythical Arabian Genies etc etc.

If they need to eat material food then they ARE material themselves and will be easily defeated by a swift kick in the private parts. If they are not material then they don't exist! lol.
Lolzz,Kolo,u don come o.

WHICH are real (none!)?

Some foolish people believe in Ghost (stupidity is NOT dependent on skin pigment) and thus when a dog barks at something they think it might be a 'Ghost'! cheesy In reality it is something the dog has smelt or heard which they did not. Is this not more likely than fairy tales of ghosts to frighten silly children.

Please don't reignite the silly debate on the difference between spirituality and superstition. They are very different and distinct and I have explained this MAY times but some here lack the ability to understand (or simply don't want to as it might invalidate a particular mindset.

What many of u fools attacking these "superstitions" is that you fail to realize

1. many of these ideas are made up to put children in order
2. Some of these have actually happened and the people take to caution and spread the news, overtime others view it as mere superstitions
