Muslims not only believe in the existence of angels but also in Jinn (Djinn), who also populate this world. They have their own social organisation and activities, yet they can also change their appearance and become visible or invisible at will.
If one reads Middle Eastern newspapers, watches Arab television or simply talks with people fairly quickly one can hear things like: "September 11th was organized by the Americans and Israelis. The Arabs had nothing to do with it."
