Lets face it, Maria... its not just islam, but SUPERSTITION runs rampid
in asia, and come to think of it, there were some pretty wild superstitions
when I lived in SE Turkey, too. If you are prone to BELIEVING superstition,
it doesnt matter what faith you claim. Its ridiculous! Kind of like the
jinn thing, and throwing black beans on someone's pillow. The little tiny
folded pieces of paper with curses or witchcraft on them. pssssh! LOL
You know, here in the states they have something called "voo doo".
The voo doo folks even admit that it DOESNT work if you dont believe
in it. Ponder on this for a while and look at the BIG picture of humanity
and life. And these little gnats can be easily swatted away.
