In my culture; clowns just seem "outlandish"; don't "belong"; "stupid"; "retarded"...etc.
Comedy usually takes place through a different type of clowns. Actually I can't even remember Arabic culture having any; the culture had hilarious plays done by real actors, like the famous Egyptian "مدرسة المشاغبين".

Clowns just look stupid, not funny, not scary, and even not quite...suitable for anything?
So I had a tough time getting scared by Pennywise.

Many kids in America are scared of them. There is a psychology behind fear of just about anything and almost a word for every type of phobia one can have.

Hmmm, much like many theists appear to us mundane normal people. Odd that.

Are Djinns a thing in your culture Atlas? Or, is that a thing of the past?

Exactly: entertainment and not horror. Pennywise is bold and that is quite not cool: to be afraid you need mystery; and mystery wasn't there. That's why I think Japanese ghosts -for example- are way, way way more scary.

I always see this clown-killer stuff in Hollywood movies; it's more like a theme: the psycho clown who butchers the kids in suburban towns.
Maybe it's more of a... fear of children phobia? fear of kids lead to fear of children stuff, and clowns are children stuff.

Why? just why can't you "live up to the claim of being normal", and post like a normal person, instead of a keyboard infedel jihadist?

Arabs don't hate clowns. Arabs -like me- don't understand what is so funny about clowns.
That is called "different cultures".

China, Africa, Arabia, Europe. White, Brown, Black...etc.

Clowns, Kabab, Tea, Coffee...etc.

Americans say "ass"; Brits say "Arse"...etc.

Yes. My parents say stories about them; lots of people through my life mentioned "stories" of Jinn haunting and stuff.
I had close friends who were utter believers.

Personally; I don't believe the stories of "haunting" or the scary tales of Jinn. It's just like Pennywise the dancing clown.
But I believe in them being a race that lived on the universe; probably in a different dimension. They can't interfere with our dimension just like we can't interfere with theirs. They are smart and quite advanced; too. Satan is from their race.

Of course you can sense that the belief above is derived from religion. It is. Islam to be precise; Quran only.

But not the grudge-type of haunting and possession.

There's no such thing as an "infedel" let alone an "infedel jihadist". Jihadism is purely an invention of your particular superstitious belief system.

Further, if it is good enough for you to spout your particular brand of delusional theism, it is good enough for me or anyone else to oppose it.

I wonder why it is that you are so filled with fear that you want to suppress criticism of your faith. If it were true, it would need have no concern over any criticism. But you are terrified of anyone disagreeing with you. Why?

Don't pick up cyber fights. It hurts your brain and the brain of others.

And, what is this word; "Jihad"?
It seems like a sandwich name. So it'll be like "I want double Jihad with extra cheese; tasty with spicy Osama with vegetables"..
Right?
It's a "type of beards" that blow up. Time bombs; and not farts; the shit blows up for real!

Jihad. Prounce it as "Jeeeehad".

Now seriously..

"Jihad" is an Arabic; in Arabic it's written like this:
جهاد
It's derive from the word "Johd"
جهد
Which means "Effort". So "Jihad" is a description for the "putting effort". So, you realize how ignorant you sound to me when you discuss matters with me from a rightist base.

What are the Christian crusaders? aren't they "contributors of effort in the path of Jesus"? i.e "Christian Jihadists"?
But you seem like an atheist Jihadist. Putting effort in the cause and all..Jihading me.

Atheism is not a religion, not a belief, it has no scriptures, it has no prophets, it has no authorities, it has none of those appurtenances of religion. Jihad is an exclusive islamic concept and a religious concept. Whatever it may be that you claim it might mean is irrelevant. You could claim it means unicorns and rainbows. That matters not. In atheism, it simply does not exist. Islam exclusively owns that term and has chosen to make it sinister. The issue remains between you and your fellow religionists. I don't have a religion, so how superstitious believers define "jihad" is irrelevant. It is not a concept atheists hold in any way.
