they believe they are from a parallel universe and were created prior to Adam...some are eveil and some are Archangel level and some are guardians of humans....sounds a lot like Angels to me...so why do they have to make up something separate?

ermm?! its not ARAB peoples... its muslims as a whole.. they could be American muslims also.. We as muslims are taught that God created different types of creatures. People from earth(dirt/clay) Angels from light, jinns and the devil from fire.. They Jinns are a different creature, unseen by humans that live, eat, find homes, and exist right along side us on this earth. We just dont see them. Some worship God just like some humans do and some dont.. They have free will like we do.. They havent evolved to the point of making modern technology like we have, they dont go out building sky scrapers etc.. They are content with what they have. They can see us. They generally dont want to co habit around where humans are, but at times they might be near.. Some people say the age old story of poltergeists (the ghosts that play tricks on us in old homes) are actually jinns that took over old abandoned buildings.. They dont want anyone coming near, so they do stuff to get rid or scare us off.. They are not angels and not to be confused as angels. Angels are creatures God created just to do his work. they have no free will, they can only do what God commands them to do. Jinns are not guardians of humans.. God has given some specific angels to guard us and some to accompany us throughout life to record our every deeds.. These are not jinns.. What are jinns purpose on earth? We werent told this... Also Solomon who had the gift to speak to animals, also in Islam we are told he had the ability to speak and see jinns.. You can read and learn much more about the jinns if you find some good reputable islamic sites... goodluck!

Actually Jinns are known from Islam, in the Quran God mentioned that He had created Jinns AND Human
[051:056] I have not created the jinn and the human kind, (for any reason) except that they should worship Me.
[015:027] And We had earlier fashioned jinn from a hot sultry flame!
We don't believe that Angels can be evil, we believe Angels are created to worship God and have no will power...

jinns are real and genies are from some fairy tale and boy are you way off track with the archangel stuff. please get your facts right about what Arabs believe and what Muslims believe . not all Arabs are Muslims and not all Muslims are Arabs.
