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

[–] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 2 points 22 minutes ago (1 children)

I'm not sure. Are you asking to get an answer?

[–] DontNoodles@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 14 minutes ago* (last edited 13 minutes ago)

No, I wanted to bring out the irony. Maybe an '‽' would have been better than the '?' I put at the end of my comment.

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

[–] land@lemmy.ml 27 points 10 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

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.

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 0 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

It’s “the advisory board of religious affairs.” You think that group of people can’t be religious nuts?

Also, it’s 100% about religion because their entire excuse is that it runs contrary to religious law. I mean, to your credit, you’re kinda right because this does have nothing to truly do with religion and is about control. But they’re using religion to do it.

“Using a VPN goes against our religious beliefs?” Come the fuck on.

Read the article. The title is cluck bait. They never claimed using a vpn is against their religion.

[–] mwguy@infosec.pub 14 points 10 hours ago (3 children)

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

[–] bruhsoulz@lemmy.ml -5 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 15 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] masquenox@lemmy.world 7 points 2 hours ago

Boning 8 year olds is tradition.

For whom? You?

Zionism and Islamophobia always goes hand in hand

[–] mwguy@infosec.pub -1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Are you saying dislike of child molestation is Islamaphobic?

[–] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 7 points 40 minutes ago (1 children)

Alleging islam encourages child molestation is islamophobia

[–] BrazenSigilos@ttrpg.network 29 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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. 🍝

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world -1 points 18 minutes ago

That was my official religion during last census!

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 64 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

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 10 points 8 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 14 points 14 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 4 hours ago (1 children)

Explain the last name joke?

[–] ComradeMiao@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours 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
