No. This is more similar to an ad blocker, but focused on helping Muslims respect their religious standards while they browse the web. I’m not a Muslim, but it makes perfect sense to me. Good for them—I see no problem with it.

Mixed feelings.

I’m not sure what’s fishy about it. Parents have always controlled what their children should have access to and consume. The entire concept of “parental controls” exists for this reason—we’ve always understood a parent’s rights over their children and none of that was at all controversial until like 5 minutes ago.

This is a digression anyway, so I’ll just stop there…

I’m sorry that everyone in the world doesn’t think the way you’d like them to.

I know lots of Muslims, both male and female, and they’re perfectly normal to me. In fact, some of them are some of the most wholesome folks I know: Humble and hardworking humans who build and love their families, and of course, believe in something much greater than themselves. I see nothing “backwards” about that.

just dont seem to produce much art ,innovation and working institutions in any region they are culturally dominant. and when asked why that is digress fast into antisemitism and conspiracy babble.
