Laura, possibly they are little piece of papers something written in arabic. They are something which might protect you from genies, bad eyes etc..No logical explanation at all.

Was he wearing it in a neclace around his neck in a triangular encasement? If so this is some kind of prayer. My fiance wears one, and he says inside of it is a prayer on paper that he can take out and read. It protects from accidents etc. He's had it since he was little, and wanted to send one for my dauhters and myself. =)

The piece of paper to them, is more or less like our Christian Cross and other religious items. I dont think its ridiculous at all
