Didn't their prime minister recently use a VPN to congratulate Trump on X, which is blocked from access by the same govt?

Let's use this against yallcada when they try the same.

They also threw fatwa at Jerry (yes, that cartoon mouse) before, so.

This is a government entity thats trying to crackdown against opposition. Nothing to do with religion.

[–] land@lemmy.ml 19 points 8 hours ago

🤣 bruv this is a propaganda for the government to crackdown opposition parties. There is no such thing as “Islamic Law against vpn”. They make up things and call it a day

So boning 8 year olds is cool, but a VPN is a step too far?

[–] bruhsoulz@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 hour ago

Finally, someone who calls it how it is🙏🗣️🗯️

Zionism and Islamophobia always goes hand in hand

Are you saying dislike of child molestation is Islamaphobic?

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 20 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Boning 8 year olds is tradition. Vpn is new scary tech.

Boning 8 year olds is tradition.

For whom? You?

[–] BrazenSigilos@ttrpg.network 27 points 11 hours ago

This is plainly insane.

The Flying Spaghetti Monster has decreed to me that VPN use is totally cool and his worshipers should feel ok using them. 🍝

Does the Noble Quran only refer to OpenVPN tunnels or it also covers WireGuard? What if I'm setting my own server on a halal VPS?

[–] BMTea@lemmy.world 9 points 6 hours ago

What they actually said is not that VPNs are banned, but using them to access blocked content is. First they mention porn, which is straightforward religiously, but then they also state that accessing blocked "disinformation" is also haram, which is gibberish and has no basis in either religious or secular morals.

[–] ComradeMiao@lemmy.world 13 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

It depends on where your VPS physically is and the last name of the persons father hosting it.

[–] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Explain the last name joke?

[–] ComradeMiao@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

In trying to explain my joke I think I found it may not directly apply outside of the Arabic speaking Arab world, but typically last names are important as they say who the person is the son or daughter of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_name?wprov=sfti1#Ism

It isn’t just a lineage of last names but who your daddy is.

If I remember correctly from my Arabic class in college some people can have even longer lineage names with multiple peoples included.

Pakistan seems to be sort of a mix https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pakistani_name?wprov=sfti1#Full_name

I also found this random paper describing Afghani naming so I wonder if I was wrong. https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/document?repid=rep1&type=pdf&doi=e7a649988b7aad015ea8fa972239c7fe9e6ede03
