The Angolan government would also be obliged to update the current national context as a way of fighting the rise of new religious congregation whose religious assemblies are contrary to “habits and customs to Angolan culture,” Silva added. Same as Islam, Silva announced that there are at least 194 religious sects that were not authorized to have their activities. “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 was quoted by Cameroon Voice. "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. “This is the final end of Islamic influence in our country,” President José Eduardo dos Santos was quoted by Osun Defender newspaper on Sunday, November 24. 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, has also said on the airwaves of a 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. Islam’s opinion about freedom of religion is evident from the Qur’an, which says what means: *{Say, ‘The truth is from your Lord’: Let him who will, believe, and let him who will, reject [it]}* |
