Middle Eastern & Islamic Folklore


Interested in religion or folklore?

Here's a great twitter thread by Ali Olomi about Middle Eastern and Islamic folklore. 

Olomi is a professor at the University of Pennslyvania and produces a terrific podcast about anything to do with Islam and the Middle East. It's called Head on History.

Olomi's thread below is about djinn/jinn kings. He notes that djinn are an invisible race of beings "who live in tribes and nations with their own rulers."
