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.”

TRUE.
They are hiding something. Beware
They should burn down all the mosques with the Muslims in them. They don’t want to assimilate, they want to kill all infidels and take over. I don’t understand why the liberals want to bow down to these assholes. We ought to round up all the Muslims and send them and all the Muslim loving liberals to sand land. They are worthless.
….having muslims tear down their own mosques….how cool is that….
They all need to go back where they cme from
First country with common sense !
There are dozens of beautiful muslim countries around the world. They are always welcomed there. Let Sharia law prevail there. It has no place anywhere in Canada. Muslim people are welcome, but don’t expect any control using their religious law.
No Churches, no mosques.
Islam needs to be stopped! They destroy all other religions artifacts around the world. I think we should reciprocate!
Good for them, stand up and fight, that is what America should do
