Muslims Fled Angola As Law
Against Islam Kicks In.
**banning Islamic religion is a
pre-emptive action as we
consider a cult, NOT a religion. -
President.
**It Is now unlawful to be a
Muslim in the Southern Africa
country of Angola.
**Government becomes the first
country in the world to ban Islam.
The African state of Angola law to
ban Islam has started as they will
start to destroy all the mosques in
the Country.
Angolan President José Eduardo
dos Santos, said by popular
demand, Angolan authorities have
taken pre-emptive action and
decided to ban the Muslim
religion, which they consider a
cult, NOT a religion. They see what
Muslims are doing to Christians,
especially in Africa, and are taking
steps to prevent the same from
happening in Angola.
According to several Angolain
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 noting that the
Government will redouble its
efforts to fight relentlessly against
religious cults like Islam which are
contrary to the customs of
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.
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, as other are leaving the
country to more tolerant
neighbouring countries.
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.”

95% of Angola’s population is
Christian. A quarter belongs to
Protestant churches founded
during the colonial period,
including congregational
evangelical church.
This decisive action taken by the
Angolan head of state is based on
a desire to guard against the rise
of the Wahhabi ideology that has
created havoc, death and
destruction in Africa and
elsewhere. And as rightly
explained Tunisian philosopher
Mezri Haddad: “Islamism and
Islamophobia feed each other.
Worse, long-term Islamism as an
ideology destroy Islam as religion.
