Angola Bans Islam, Shuts Down Mosques by FacelessPatriot: 6:02pm On Dec 10, 2015
Claiming that Islam was a sect, the African nation of Angola becomes the first country to ban Islam, Muslims and has shut down the mosques in the country.

World Bulletin / News Desk
The African nation of Angola has become the first country to ban Islam and Muslims, reports On Islam.
Concerning the ban, Angolan President Jose Eduardo dos Santos said Sunday:
“this is the final end of Islamic influence in our country.”
Angola’s ban was first announced when Angolan Minister of Culture, Rosa Cruz e Silva said:
“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." she also said that the ban must take place as Islam was, “contradictory to the customs of Angola culture and it is a sect”.

Angola’s has a population of 16 million of which the majority is Christian, with only 80,000-90,000 Muslims, the majority of whom are migrants from West Africa and families of Lebanese origin, according to the US State Department.

Wise men say that when palm oil stains a finger, other fingers stands the risk of being stained.

I believe there are still good muslims but they are to scared to oppose the bad ones. what do you think?

It's not a new thing.

Is there any church in Saudi Arabia?

Since there is no church in Saudi Arabia despite the influx of Christian immigrants, I believe the Angolan's must not allow the West African and Lebanese immigrants to pollute the kind of religious purity that even the Saudi's want to have.
