Really wish our species could evolve past this moronic, religious bullshit.
You know how some people make the claim that atheism is a religion? This is why. People who think that anyone who believes something different from them is a moron and/or in need of conversion. I don’t like it when religions behave like this, and I don’t like it when nonreligions behave like this, either.
Respectfully, you think I’m denigrating Islam because it’s different from what I believe?
No.
I’m simply pointing out what, to anyone who wasn’t raised in it, is obvious stupidity.
Sorry if I misunderstood. I interpreted your comment as saying that all religion was moronic bullshit, which would be in line with what I said.
If you meant that this particular religious behavior is moronic bullshit, I completely agree. I just don’t hold the view that every religious person is a moron because they believe in a religion.
Not all religion is bullshit, but there is a lot of crossover between religious teachings and bullshit. That’s why they invented the word ‘faith’, because they are self-aware of the incredulousness of it all.
Like the utter bullshit in this article, as if 7th Century teachings have anything to say about VPN’s.
All religious are moronic bullshit. I’ll say it.
Baqarah Ayat 18: No one shall use VPNs
Wonder how long until the USA has this
“It is not enough that Allah knows everything you do. We must also know.”
“That sounds like blasphemy to me.”
“Uh…”
“VPNs are haram but tor browser truly is the work of Allah himself”
Some guy, maybe.
Friendly reminder that VOA, aka Voice of America, is a subsidiary of the US Agency for Global Media. It was established to convince people in the Soviet sphere that the US was better in every way. It continues that mission with America’s allies and enemies today.
The process of opening up a country’s media space is integral to getting those State department messages in there.
Is there anything about this piece that you feel is inaccurate or biased?
Encryption is totally and completely haram
Which is super fucking ironic:
David Kahn notes in The Codebreakers that modern cryptology originated among the Arabs, the first people to systematically document cryptanalytic methods.[15] Al-Khalil (717–786) wrote the Book of Cryptographic Messages, which contains the first use of permutations and combinations to list all possible Arabic words with and without vowels.[16]
The invention of the frequency analysis technique for breaking monoalphabetic substitution ciphers, by Al-Kindi, an Arab mathematician,[17][18] sometime around AD 800, proved to be the single most significant cryptanalytic advance until World War II. Al-Kindi wrote a book on cryptography entitled Risalah fi Istikhraj al-Mu’amma (Manuscript for the Deciphering Cryptographic Messages), in which he described the first cryptanalytic techniques, including some for polyalphabetic ciphers, cipher classification, Arabic phonetics and syntax, and most importantly, gave the first descriptions on frequency analysis.[19] He also covered methods of encipherments, cryptanalysis of certain encipherments, and statistical analysis of letters and letter combinations in Arabic.[20][21] An important contribution of Ibn Adlan (1187–1268) was on sample size for use of frequency analysis.[16]
Ahmad al-Qalqashandi (AD 1355–1418) wrote the Subh al-a 'sha, a 14-volume encyclopedia which included a section on cryptology. This information was attributed to Ibn al-Durayhim who lived from AD 1312 to 1361, but whose writings on cryptography have been lost. The list of ciphers in this work included both substitution and transposition, and for the first time, a polyalphabetic cipher[23] with multiple substitutions for each plaintext letter (later called homophonic substitution). Also traced to Ibn al-Durayhim is an exposition on and a worked example of cryptanalysis, including the use of tables of letter frequencies and sets of letters which cannot occur together in one word.

But then Pakistanis aren’t Arabs…
Decryption? Also Haram.
The Council of Islamic Ideology said the technology was being used in Pakistan to access content prohibited according to Islamic principles or forbidden by law, including “[…]websites that spread anarchy […].”
So they admit it’s not (only) about morals, but also (or mostly) about their position of power not being threatened.
BTW: By blocking access to the internet, they stop people from following the order in the Quoran which states that people should educate themselves.
It’s almost as if they would tailor their religious doctrine to suit their own needs. Who could have imagined such a thing could happen.
someone should point out to them that a vpn is the technological equivalent of the burqa.
either ban both, or allow both.
Not like that
Religious nuts want to creep on your internet usage too.
The craziest part is that this is only happening in Islamic countries and absolutely not happening in the West.
Dont we have political nuts that want to creep on our internet usage and even our DM’s?
God would never use VPN, he has nothing to hide.
But he works in mysterious ways.
Except his genitals, how do you know God isn’t a woman?
The big religions have omnipotent or near omnipotent gods that can appear in any form or gender. One of their powers is usually shapeshifting. So they are whaterver sex they want, sometimes even none, like for example the christian god appeared as pillars of cloud or fire.
Read the book. Be it the bible, tora or koran. You dont have to read it very much, it’s in the beginning somewhere.
I was thinking of changing the gender after the fact but was to lazy to edit it.
In church I’ve been saying in the name of the father and the son, not mother and daughter, so that’s an easy assumption to make.
And how does the church know what to say…?
A patriarchal religion is going to put a male figure in charge of course.
