This is probably it. I've heard that genies can be trapped in ther bottles by the seal of Muhammad, or somthing like that. My guess is that they would be unaffected by Christian imagery.

Genies are not the same in Islamic culture as they are translated into our ideas.
They derive from Djinn, which are actually evil spirits or mini-devils. They live to trick and tempt people, and generally act like fallen angels.
The part of being trapped in a bottle is moot, it's trapped by the symbols which represent the power of God. Much like the Cross is not what stops Vampires, but the power which is transferred through it.
