Do you really think I'd do that to my aunt? Come on, now. It was with her consent that the exorcism was done.

She was always a religious person until that one day. And there was no talk of religion that day either. And she slowly but surely returned to her religious activities after the day of the exorcism.

There is just simply no logical or scientific explanation for that day...and I tried my hardest to find it.

How was the 'legit' exorcism you were part of like?

There was an 'exorcism' over here in Romania a couple of years ago, conducted by a monk and 2 nuns on another nun (which wasn't possesed by the devil, as there is no such thing, but simply schitzophrenic), and it involved torture and starvation, the 'possesed' nun eventually dying.

I don't understand what exactly made you people think she was 'possesed'. Halting religious activities? Just seems like you guys were trying to force your religion on her. In Europe you'd be jailed for that 'exorcism'.

I don't think anyone is blaming religion here. She is schizophrenic. If the mom wasn't religious, she would've stabbed her daughter thinking she was an alien who was gonna destory the earth.... or any similar irrational excuse.

First of all, I am sorry for your relative and I hope she is better now. Salamt. Second of all, I haven't read enough about her story and even then, I am no psychiatrist to judge. However, there ARE scientific explanations for her case. Unusual thoughts, disturbed behaviors, disorganized speech, paranoia,verbal aggression, hearing voices etc are all symptoms of brief psychotic disorder (which is basically schizophrenia that lasts only for one month or less and disappears completely eventually and the person goes on living normally for the rest of their lives).

Third of all, I question.. where Muslims get these fixed beliefs about possessions when there is nothing From Quran or Muhammed himself about Exorcism. Are there stories from the Khulafa Al rashdeen history in which they exorcise people? demons that take over humans and control them? I haven't read any! We have lots of 1400 years old stories about several minor issues and all sorts of Hadeeth but NON that disccussed demons taking control of bodies? how come?

Edit: I know I am not exactly the believer and I forgot everything the Quran said about the Jin honestly but I'll keep it in mind next time I re-explore religions.

Sapphi is, it's the whole reason he posts these stories.

A traditional execution simply involves tieing someone down so they don't hurt themselves(People being exorcised for some unkown reason tend to go into violent spasms.) and praying over them while sprinkling them with holy water until they appear calm.

No you wouldn't.

Literally you wouldn't.

Holding the person down actually makes sense by the way, because for unkown reasons, people who go through exorcisims tend to spasm like crazy.  It's literally exactly what they would do to you in the hospital if they expected you might go through violent spams.

Due to that, the only thing you could get in trouble for, would be ruled a needed safeguard in a form of homeopathic medicine.

As for why people go through violent spasms when exoricised... there is honestly no actual decent medical explination for it.  You can come up with a hodgepodge of different reasons why it might happen in diffrent exorcisms but there isn't really a good unifying theory.
