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 7 points 1 year 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 3 points 1 year ago

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

Explain the last name joke?

[-] ComradeMiao@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year 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

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

Elites do not have to follow the rules, that's the one reason to become an elite in the first place!

[-] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

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

[-] DontNoodles@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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.

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Typical religion, just making up stupid shit to enforce their control over people.

Main use is to hit western porn sites. Just be honest and say being horny is banned.

[-] BrazenSigilos@ttrpg.network 4 points 1 year 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. 🍝

[-] jaemo@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Pass me some apostate-o chips while I log in then!

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

[-] aceshigh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] masquenox@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Boning 8 year olds is tradition.

For whom? You?

[-] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

For the entire planet, prior to the last few hundred years. Religion agreed, because pedos are attracted to power and religious leaders were the most powerful.

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

Zionism and Islamophobia always goes hand in hand

[-] mwguy@infosec.pub 0 points 1 year ago

Are you saying dislike of child molestation is Islamaphobic?

[-] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip -1 points 1 year ago

Alleging islam encourages child molestation is islamophobia

[-] rikudou@lemmings.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, they have to be 9 years old consenting girls!

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 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[-] mannycalavera@feddit.uk -1 points 1 year ago

Wait till they hear about the HA-RAM proxy..... For when your memory needs to be available now!
