:It's not something I've ever taken interest in. There's a page here with some stuff on them https://wikiislam.net/wiki/Jinn. As for apologetics, I'd imagine there are countless pages of nonsense about them, and lots of exorcism / jinn videos on youtube.[[User:Lightyears|Lightyears]] ([[User talk:Lightyears|talk]]) 17:14, 26 October 2016 (EDT)

::On this, I am thinking of a section in the Scientific Errors article. Jinns were made out of fire, says the quran, which is in fact impossible. (Later I can think of a main article about jinns, or expand [[Jinn|this one]]) [[User:Saggy|Saggy]] ([[User talk:Saggy|talk]]) 05:32, 21 July 2017 (EDT)

:::Jinns, angels, magic etc, and all aspects of the "unseen" in general is of course pure nonsense. But none of it is seen by Muslims as following the laws of physics or as a scientific matter even in principle. Where they try to explain it they speculate that it means the jinn were made of the fire's energy or it was a magical fire or any fantasy they care to indulge. It's much as how they see miracles in general where anything goes. It's a different matter when it talks about tangible beings and objects like the falsifiable creation stories of humans and mountains now that we know about evolution, genetics, plate tectonics etc. [[User:Lightyears|Lightyears]] ([[User talk:Lightyears|talk]]) 18:48, 22 July 2017 (EDT)
