Angola has reportedly declared Islam illegal and
ordered for all of the country’s mosques to be
closed down.
Minister of culture Rosa Cruz e Silva said that
mosques in the largely Christian country would
be closed until further notice. She described Islam as a ‘sect’ that would be
banned as counter to Angolan customs and
culture. There are unconfirmed reports that mosques
across the African country are being destroyed,
according to the International Business Times. President Jose Edurado dos Santos reportedly
told the Osun Defence daily: ‘This is the final end
of Islamic influence in our country.’
Along with Islam, which is a religion associated
with less than 1 per cent of the population of 19
million, 194 other ‘sects’ have been banned in the nation, where more than half the population is
Christian. Ms Cruz e Silva said: ‘The legalisation of Islam has
not been approved by the Ministry of Justice and
Human Rights [and] their mosques will be closed
until further notice.’
Clashes between Christians and Muslim people are
frequently reported in the local media.
