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

I'm not sure. Are you asking to get an answer?
No, I wanted to bring out the irony. Maybe an '‽' would have been better than the '?' I put at the end of my comment.
🤣 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
Let's use this against yallcada when they try the same.
So boning 8 year olds is cool, but a VPN is a step too far?
Boning 8 year olds is tradition. Vpn is new scary tech.
Boning 8 year olds is tradition.
For whom? You?
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.
Zionism and Islamophobia always goes hand in hand
Are you saying dislike of child molestation is Islamaphobic?
Alleging islam encourages child molestation is islamophobia
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. 🍝
That was my official religion during last census!
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?
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.
It depends on where your VPS physically is and the last name of the persons father hosting it.
Explain the last name joke?
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
They also threw fatwa at Jerry (yes, that cartoon mouse) before, so.
Who is "they"
Religious nuts
This is a government entity thats trying to crackdown against opposition. Nothing to do with religion.
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.
Lol
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Wait till they hear about the HA-RAM proxy..... For when your memory needs to be available now!
Suck my dick.
