Thanks Mr Sey for asking this questions.
I am assuming that you are a Muslim, if i am wrong please correct me. if you are, then i will refer you to certain verses of the Quran and specifically to a chapter talking about the existence of jinns and how the manipulate some people.
Jinns are another creation of God the most high. they came from their won ancestor just like we as humans came from Adam and Eve. Jinns came from a creature referred to as Iblis or the Devil or Satan.
read quran chapter 2 verse 34, chapter 7 verse 11-18, chapter 15 verse 31-44, chapter 17 verse 61-65, chapter 18 verse 50, chapter 20 verse 116-120, chapter 34 verse 20-21, and chapter 38 verse 71-85.
and also chapter 5 verse 91, chapter 7 verses 200-201, chapter 114 verses 4-6, chapter 20 verse 120, and finally, chapter 7 verses 20,21,27,175.
Brother Sey, read this verses. The quran abundantly warm mankind against our mortal enemy the devil and his off-springs.
now coming to your questions
1. What dose jinns look like humans or animals birds ?
truly i don't know how Jinns look like. what is evident in many hadiths or narration of the prophet of Islam is that, Jinns can take the form many creatures, especially dogs, cats, snake, birds and even humans. there are base of deception, so they can take a form necessary for them to be able to deceive their targets. those who incant their names can tell us may be how their Jinns appear to them. there have been many narration by people in the Gambia of people going mad due to seeing a certain Jinn they were calling. this is best known as too leeeya muta (the name as made him crazy.) quiet a lot of young would be marabouts go crazy due to this phenomenon. so jinn can feel a room in a Snake form or a big bird very scary to the caller.
according to other sources, Jinn answer to people with the right age, so if one due to greed wish to have a jinn answer to him, and his age is below the required limit, you may go mad.
the Ahamadiyas. dispute there being a Jinn, but i would rather believe in explanation of the noble prophet of Islam, than the ahamadiya folks.
2. How do they live and were do they eat and drink like us ?
some hadiths stated that Jinn, live in a parallel world to us. they dwell in remote places, since we cannot see them, they pick through dirt and uncovered food. this is why a strong tradition exist among Muslims to make sure food is covered and that before night fall, children are brought indoors. Jinns eat and drink in ways God made possible for them but you can conduct further reading in that aspect. in fact there is judo-Christan explanation of demons around as well.
3. Are they Muslims Christians or whatever?
the quran states that some Jinns are muslims and some are not. some also state that jinn hear the word of god from the environment they dwell. so if they become convince about Christianity, they may adopt it just like we humans do.
4. What languages do they speak?
i don't know the language they speak among themselves. what is clear is that they communicate with people who invoke them in that person's language.
5. How comes we can see them and they can see us?
may be you wanted to say, "how comes we can't see them and they can see us". to this i would say, this is the wishes of God, that i have no answer to. God does what he wills. he made lions, different, tigers, and even we humans, we are different. some us are white, some are brown, black and yellow.
6. Can we marry (husband/wife) jinns and have children with them?
people made remarks to that effect, there are some narrations that some people marry Jinns. but what the Islamic stand point is that, we are forbidden in marrying Jinn. we are not the same make-up. they are created form fire and we from clay. it is not suppose to happen. i haven't read any text stating whether people marry jinns. but it is a common saying in the Gambia that some people have Jinn woman.
7. Are all jinns wicked towards human beings?
not all jinn are wicked. the quran states that some Jinn are Muslims and obey the revelation. they come and listen to the recitation of the quran. the majority obeys their ancestor the Satan who rebel against God.
8. if so why do hate us?
i gave the reason for that on mt earlier thread "our relationship with the Satan as humans".
thank you brother Sey for asking, i appreciate it. my intention is just to clarify a practise which is chronic in our region. i do not intend to tarnish or castigate any one. if we see evil, our intentions should be to remove. May Allah forgive me and continue to guide us. amen. the errors are mine.
