Angola Becomes First Country To Ban Islam, Shuts Down All Mosques by Nobody: 7:34am On Nov 26, 2013
Shouldn't there be freedom of religion to
every citizen of a country, so how can Angola
do this? If reports are to be believed then the
Southern African country has become the first
country in the world to ban the Islamic
religion. According to multiple reports coming
from Angola, Mosques in the country have
been closed down and some even destroyed.
The Guardian reports that on November 22,
the Angolan Minister of Culture Rosa Cruz e
Silva said that “the process of legalization
of Islam has not been approved by the
Ministry of Justice and Human Rights and so
their mosques would be closed until further
notice.”
Does a religion need to be legalized? The
minister also said that the closing of mosques
was done in a move to stop so-called 'illegal
religious sects.' Under new laws in Angola,
many religious sects have suddenly become
criminal.
Yesterday November 24, Angola President José
Eduardo dos Santos said that the country is
working toward putting an end to Islamic
influence in Angola once and for all while the
Governor of Luanda, Bento Bento, said that
“radical” Muslims are not welcome in the
country and that the Angolan government will
not be legalizing mosques or other places of
worship for Muslims.

Yeah, they have probably seen the agony of other
countries plagued by islam... Doesn't make it right
though, whatever happened to "freedom of
religion" ? Yeah well, dat has also been abused by
Egyptians, iraqis, afghans and arabians who
persecute christians and discriminate against any
other religion... Its tit for tat, do me, I do you.. God
no go vex.. But the muslims would not take it with a
pinch of salt as christians would.. A protest may
probably begin in saudi arabia and Nigerians would
start killing themselves over something that does
not concern them.... I smell trouble oh..
