Angola Bans Islam, Destroys Mosques

LUANDA – According to several Angolan newspapers, Angola has become the first country in the world to ban Islam and Muslims, taking first measures by destroying mosques in the country.

“The process of legalization of Islam has not been approved by the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights, their mosques would be closed until further notice,” Rosa Cruz e Silva, the Angolan Minister of Culture, was quoted by Agence Ecofin on Friday, November 22.
Silva comments were given during her visit last Tuesday to the 6th to the Commission of the National Assembly.

She asserted that the decision was the latest in increased efforts to fight against religious sects, including illegal ones.

According to the minister, the action was necessary to fight relentlessly against the emergence of congregations whose worship are contrary to the customs of the Angolan culture.

Same as Islam, other faiths which were not legalized will face closure of their houses of worship.

"All sects on the list published by the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights in the Angolan newspaper" “Jornal de Angola" are prohibited to conduct worship, so they should keep their doors closed," she said.

"In addition, we also have a long list of more than a thousand legalization applications,” she added.

Recurrent

The anti-Islam comments were not the first by Angolan officials after several hostile actions have been conducted in several cities across Angola.

"This is the final end of Islamic influence in our country", said the President, José Eduardo dos Santos.

Last October, Muslims from the urban municipality of Viana, Luanda, attended the destruction of the minaret of their mosque Zengo.

The provincial governor of Luanda, Bento Bento, said on the airwaves of local radio that "radical Muslims are not welcome in Angola and the Angolan government is not ready for the legalization of mosques."

He added that Muslims were not welcome in Angola and that the government would not legalize the presence of mosques in the country.

According to CIA Factbook, 47% of Angolans practice indigenous beliefs, 38% Roman Catholic and 15% Protestant.

Questions:

Are there any dire global political consequences for this action?
Is this a good or bad move?
Will it trigger similar or even reciprocal actions in other countries?

Answer: Good move

The question is whether other faiths are permitted to be practiced in the Islamic world. If not, then countries having other major religions are free to ban the practice of Islam as well.

In a Biafra country, given what Muslims in Northern Nigeria have done and continue to do to Biafrans, Islam should be banned except for Yoruba Muslims, who are generally more sober than their northern counterparts.

Gooood News From Angola

Excellent move....



Reasons..4

Christianity is an abomination in Saudi and other extremist islamic countries

Islam is well known to breed TERRORIST
(pakistan, Afghanistan, Somalia, Sudan, Indonesia, iraq, libya, Iran, Mali, Chad. .etc...etc ....and now 9ja inclusive)

Islam is not tolerant to other religions. Death fatwah awaits any convert

Islam breeches basic human right tenets

Etc etc

Nawa o

May Allah forgive them and guide them back unto the right path.
The Angolans are proving what Muslims already know i.e. Christians are by far more intolerant against Islam than the other way round, in reality Christians only succeed in making Muslims look very bad because they own and control world media - through well orchestrated negative propaganda.

47%... Wow... I'm impressed! No wonder they have the self dignity and confidence to ban Islam.

In a way... this spells the first steps towards the ban on all foreign religions in Africa. The decolonisation of the African is truly underway. Next stop: Christians.

You''d be surprised that 100% of Nigerians practice indigenous religions. We only mix it with church and mosque going. This is very rampant in southern Nigeria where Ifa, Ogun, Oraminyan (LOL), Amadioha, Ahiajoku and Egbesu, etc practices hold sway, in many cases clandestinely.

You're right in a way though.

First step indeed. But I doubt the second step would be that easy so considering it is 48 % Christian .

I don't know how to call you dumb or blind without sounding abusive. The statistics are right there before you to show 47% indigenous believers, 48% Christian and the rest.

Leave him alone. What their people are doing in the North is also a propaganda right? Don't just answer him. Thanks to Ugandan government for telling them that there are no virgins in there.

This is what the prominent people from the northern part of the country has been fighten to impose sharia law in Nigeria . Thousands of blood has been spilled in some part of the country,hundreds of church has be burnt down all in the name of one religion.
Personally i believe that any country that want to progress should let go religion.

Yawnn..... christianity is on the way out too.... just a matter of time... with their private jet riding pastors.

Find them, kill them, all of them!

This is the attitude that indirectly gives muslims an undue advantage in our society-the average christian is always willing to settle for secularism, while the average muslim believes in hoisting his religions above everything and at every time.
Guess who is going to dominate after a while
If you think you're going to live peacefully and side by side with some body whose religion tells him to forcefully convert you at every opportunity, then you're mistaken.

COMING FROM Buhari'S DIE HARD FAN

mike404: COMING FROM Buhari'S DIE HARD FAN

Sure, I'm his fan not because of his religion, but his personality.
I have nothing against Islam and muslims on Nl, as long you are not a fanatic; my major grudge against the running of the Islam section.
All ur tales about Buhari's fanatism have been proved false. Btw, he still commands more respect than ur infamous GEJ.

gramci: Find them, kill them, all of them!

I had to laugh at this one!

If naija can ban muslim in dis country dn der will be peace in abundance

Typical of cowards to sit behind a computer and spew hatred. All u do is incite hatred and violence. Yet u go to Dubai Malaysia Qatar and India to do business as if they are not Muslims there.

As for d Angolans, I hope they come round to their senses sooner Dan later.a good historical check shows DAT d more opposition shown to Islam d more it grows.

For Biafra hopefulss, I hope u will tell all ur Igbo brethren to leave lagos n d north when u go back to ur enclave.

It will be tit for tat. Don't present violence n expect clemency like u did during d civil war!

From time immemorial to date, Christians have killed and maimed more humanity than Muslims, however Christians have control of major world media outlets and so have been able to successfully manipulate perception of their atrocities at the expense of Islam, for example:
Christians had demonstrated ability the most deadly weapon of mass destruction (Atom Bomb) and had been the first and only ones to use it against human beings.
Adolf Hitler was one of world's cruelest dictators responsible for killing millions of lives.
Christians have created the most cruelest of devices for killing humans and are currently leaders in manufacture and sale of weapons used in ongoing wars responsible yet more deaths.
The involvement of the Americans alone, destabilizing countries of Asia & Middle East, is causing far more loss of human lives than all the terrorism attributable to Muslims put together; because American bombings by cruise missiles, planes and drones are killing more innocent civilians than targeted terrorists, which christian dominated world press suppresses through selective reporting and deliberated use of water-down less offensives phrases, such as collateral damage.

On the Nigerian front, there have been well reported cases of Christians attacking Muslims and burning of Mosques, as well as Christians pretending to be Muslims attempting to bomb churches in order to incriminate Muslims/Islam; notable among them was the case of Christian Biroms attacking and killing innocent Muslims while in prayer on Sallah day and roasting and cannibalizing on them.

was Adolf hitler a christian?

Are all Americans christians?


You are a chronic liar and misguided islamist.
When it favours you, you and ur kind label non-muslims as christians.
Later, for a different tide; the converse occurs.

Tell me, what happened on the 'muslim invention' thread where ur brothers in terrorism labelled Non-muslim and even some christian inventions as those by ateheists and jews?

Aboki, eat ur words!

^^^^ I guess in your mind Adolf Hitler was Muslim and all commanders in chiefs of the American Govt. i.e. Presidents who coordinate foreign policy, therefore effectively approved the bombings and killings by American forces were Muslims, oh yes, Obama is Muslim.
Wake up from your slumber, obviously you must be typing in your sleep, forest dweller!
I bet the flesh of those slaughtered Muslims in the video must be very appetizing to you.
