346437It's a pity this "religious teacher" can't enlist "supernatural forces" to repair his brain, (if he has one).
This space-case actually believes he has a "1,000-strong genie army"? I hope they are all properly fed, because maybe one of them recently raped a 15 year-old girl.
Whilst I don't endorse the idea of a "thought police", as such, how is it possible for an idiot like this to get any media exposure in the press?
Some kind of psychiatric intervention may well be warranted in his case.
This gentleman is supposed to be a TEACHER? What for heavens sake is he teaching his pupils? Welcome to Indonesia young and enlightened generation of the 21st century!
Happy to entertain you :D
What a great country... Genies, Rainmen, Pocong, The drowning of a cow... A never ending laugh-fest :-)
And did they have 'light brown hair'?
(The great American Songwriter Stephen Foster wrote a beautiful song 100 years ago - "I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair.")
A religious teacher claims to have enlisted supernatural forces in the
fight against corruption, saying he sent an army of 1,000 genies to
protect International Anti-Corruption Day rallies in Jakarta on
Wednesday.
Kyai Hajji Muzakkin, from the Dzikrus Syifa Islamic
boarding school in Lamongan, East Java, said he unleashed the genies
because he wanted to assist in the fight against corruption.
“This morning we sent a thousand genies to the demonstrations in Jakarta,” Muzakkin said on Wednesday, as quoted by Kompas.com
“They
were led by Ghulam Akhmad, an Egyptian genie who once possessed one of
my students. It was just my way to participate and support the
demonstrators and the government in the fight against corruption
through another dimension.”
Muzakkin said the members of his
1,000-strong genie army were ready to intervene if a rally participant
was found to be possessed or if someone tried to cause a disturbance at
the demonstration.
“Don’t let [the rally] and the fight
[against corruption] be smeared by those who want to cause trouble. A
thousand Muslim genies are ready to secure the rally,” Muzakkin said.
