The government of Angola has been accused of “banning Islam” by the Islamic Community of Angola (ICA) after authorities closed down all but a few unlicensed mosques in the capital city of Luanda.
There are legal penalties for women who wear the iconic veil and social pressure from both government authorties and private citizens for Muslims to leave the country. Angola does not recognize Islam as an Angolan religion as there are not enough Muslims to meet the required 100,000 members or presence in 12 of 18 provinces.
The government of Angola justified their policies, saying that Islam is an “invasion of Angolan culture and a threat to Christian values.” Muslims have been asked to tear down their own mosques under threat of paying for the demolition fees. The Angolan government has also denied that is has tried to ban Islam, stating that “there is no position that targets the destruction or closure of places of worship.”

Angola,,,,congratulations y’all make the RIGHT move.! !!!!!!!!!
Angola has the right idea. Get rid of the Muslims before they destroy your country.
I’m going to start with, I don’t agree with Islam at all. But I also don’t agree with the kkk, black panthers or any other extremist groups that are filled with hate. BUT……… Here in America I have no right to take their rights away. They have the right to say whatever they want, they have the right to believe whatever God they wish. No different then me doing the same. As soon as I infringed on their rights they have the right to stop me. So they can have their mosques but the second they infringed on my rights, I will use my right to the 2nd amendment.
Every country needs to follow suit, and band Islam.
