Quran and the hadiths of our prophet, Muhammed (s.a.s.), acknowledge the existence of genies. Therefore, muslims accept them as a reality - although they are not visible, in most cases.
The millenia-old reports about genies-attacks, do turn out to resemble what we now know to be available through patented electromagnetic technology. (It is public, registered, knowledge, since 1970s.) The genies may be interacting with our privacy, through electromagnetism, too.
This does resemble our old knowledge about genies that they are created out of "smokeless heat." The electromagenetic phenomena, are in the microwave/infrared range. And no smoke is necessary, for example, with microwave-owens, either.
The vesvese may be the, genies-whispering with SLP (as possible with USPatent 4,858,612), and/or transgressing/merging of genies is similar to soul-shots (as with USPatent 3,951,134). People with technology, meet the genies, there.
Even among those who believe genies to be "only folklore," we may find a lot of them who believe in "bodiless spirits," or the "spirits of the dead" which they believe to visit mediums. There exist reports-of-phenomena. They can be explained as genies-which-impersonate-dead-humans, the "deadroid"s.
This is different than the concept of immortality (as with shehids). The genies, or the "deadroid"s, [mostly] visit through their intrusion of humans (alive medium humans), whereas an immortal, when/if he/she visits/responds, it is in his/her own shape/body, as a human-being.
When genies attack a person, that person is a magnoon (maj-noon).
