@ Nir Shelter:
I definitely see your point. However, being a member of the western world and having been exposed to the strong and classic imagery of The Exorcist?as well as other Christianity-based supernatural movies?the “an atheist must work with an exorcist” part brings all the Catholic clich?s to mind. On the contrary, the Muslim element was what got me hooked with the concept. It’s fresh, it’s diverse, I think it should be kept in.
Moreover, I find the definition of the demon as a jinn (or djinn) also important?even if admittedly it is a little elaborate. Considering that jinns were part of the pre-Islamic mythology, this gives us the idea that the demon is unknown ground not only for the atheist, but for the Muslim exorcist as well.
