A couple of days ago i noticed something off with blahaj.zone. I couldn’t see images posted by users on blahaj, so i thought it was a problem on their side.
Well guess fucking what? After 3 days, it was STILL broken, so i opened it and…
Blocked. They fucking blocked blahaj.zone. Actually beyond parody🤦♂️ Why? What was the point? there’s trans content literally everywhere on lemmy. what’s next, block them all? So now if i want to see a post by a user on blahaj, i have to turn on my VPN (protonvpn.com is also blocked in saudi, jfc) just to see it. Fuck this place. 🙄
I swear a couple of days ago it worked. This is a mild annoyance (hence the community) but still.
It’s so over guys, MBS said no more 196 😔
I do, in arabic we just say “sharia” but in english we say “sharia law”. You are correct that just saying “sharia” is grammatically correct, but i don’t really think it matters too much. In arabic, sharia is seen as distinct from law, but in english, it is seen a type of law, that’s why [i think] people say “sharia law” instead of just sharia.
So something similar to some of the Catholic practices about meat during lent, not a true law, but a rule dictated by the church. It just happens that if the church and state are functionally one entity, as is my impression for a lot of countries in that region, then it may as well be considered law.
Fairly accurate?
Yep, our laws cannot override sharia (unless you’re a filthy royal or a higher up 🙄) Even “witchcraft” isn’t allowed, which can mean anything, i actually have no fucking clue what is even witchcraft to the sauds 😂
