Angola reportedly bans Islam. How can they do that though?

Shouldn't there be freedom of religion to every citizen of a country, so how can Angola do this? If reports are to be believed then the Southern African country has become the first country in the world to ban the Islamic religion. According to multiple reports coming from Angola, Mosques in the country have been closed down and some even destroyed.

The Guardian reports that on November 22, the Angolan Minister of Culture Rosa Cruz e Silva said that “the process of legalization of Islam has not been approved by the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights and so their mosques would be closed until further notice.”

Does a religion need to be legalized? The minister also said that the closing of mosques was done in a move to stop so-called 'illegal religious sects.' Under new laws in Angola, many religious sects have suddenly become criminal.

Yesterday November 24, Angola President José Eduardo dos Santos said that the country is working toward putting an end to Islamic influence in Angola once and for all while the Governor of Luanda, Bento Bento, said that “radical” Muslims are not welcome in the country and that the Angolan government will not be legalizing mosques or other places of worship for Muslims.

Bona,the bitter truth which we all have diplomaticlly refused to accept is that,if you remove Islam from the face of the eart,80% of the worlds problems will be solved.Angola is a liberal and circular country that leans towards christianity and voodoism.I guess a few muslim migrants wants to change their circular way of living and they reacted this way.Go and preach to a Brazilian girl about the virtues of covering herself properly as allah dictates and her reaction will surprise you.

Are islam or Christianity African religions?So what if islam is banned in an African country?Can arabs accept African religions in their countries?Why are Africans so afraid of arabs?Israel took on arabs and beat them up,why cant Africans do the same?I more than sure that this new has been fabricated by people jealous of angola progess.But if it is true,then this is the best thing ever to happen to Africa.

Its not there fault jare alot problems as a result of using the Islamic belief but that same believe have been turned upside down by some people; some Islamic countries and even some States don't allow Christian gatherings * even as the Christians haven't blown people up as a result of there beliefs talkless of some people who clam to use Islam as a means to blow people up.

I believe in freedom of conscience...
However, predominantly Moslem countries or communities scarcely believe in such fundamental right...
They will not cease to hound non-adherents of the Islamic faith until they're driven them out of town...
Even here in Nigeria, particularly in the northern parts, Churches are not being given land to build churches...
And Islam is a big nuisance with its penchant for levying terror...
All I will say is: I no blame the Angolan authorities....

Let me just highlight the difference between Islam and Christianity. If you tell a devoted christian that his religion has been banned in another country the first thing he will feel is sadness and he will say a prayer like "may God open their eyes or may God forgive them" or something along those lines. On the other hand if u tell a devoted muslim islam has been banned the first thing they feel is anger and as you can see on this blog they will make comments like "that country will FALL or Allah punish them " or one form of a curse or the other.
My dear friends if this doesn't tell you that there is something seriously and fundamentally wrong with Islam in the way it teaches people how to think nothing else will. Think about it and test it if u can.

Aggressive Muslims that practise evil in the highest order under the guise of religious affiliations should learn.Do you know that Muslims are all over the place at London Heathrow?From the top to the least immigration staff,almost everyone is a Muslim.Sometime ago,a Christian lady was sacked because she was a Christian and never buckled under intense pressure from the Muslims to convert to Islam.They told her that the Muslims would soon take over the Uk.Her case was taken by Christians to the European council.Angola,congrats!

In as much as the Islam Religion is not in it's "better standing" with the World, no thanks to Islamic Sects like Al Shabaab, Al-Qaeda, the Wahhabi movement, Taliban and of course the one that strikes home to Nigeria - Boko Haram, it's a clear violation of the fundamental Human Rights of the people of Angola. Although different Countries have their laws....just like building a Church or Christianity is forbidden in Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Iran and some other Middle-East Nations. In Nigeria for example, Section 38 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) guarantees all Nigerians freedom of Thought, Conscience and RELIGION and this should be adopted by basically every country that still forces a Religion on it's Citizens. Let Angola Step up its National Security as this
won't end well... for a religion to be banned the
faithful won't just sit and do nothing and we are
talking about Islam. The Angola government might make things worse and even "invite" more terrorists to their Country cos other Islamic Sects in different Nations will surely show solidarity. I see a Religious war coming......

Linda you are asking a foolish question. Is there any church in Saudi Arabia? see why muslim should be ban in the whole world...Reading the Qur'an, I found there are dozens of verses of unprecedented violence!
Not stories read like adventure novels, like the Old Testament, which tells us the trouble of people Jewish with its neighbors have now disappeared.
But texts directly involving our citizens, Christians, Jews, or atheists ... even Muslims deemed too "moderate."
Texts calling unambiguous hatred, discrimination, and . murder
(!) Not 2 or 3 but hundreds Sura 9 v29: "Fight those who believe not in Allah, who do not consider unlawful what Allah and his prophet declared illegal (...) until they pay, humiliated and with their own hands the tribute. " Sura 2 V216: "The fight is prescribed to you and yet you dislike. Perhaps you dislike what is a good and attraction to what is evil. Allah knows and you do not know " Sura 9 v5: "When the sacred months are expired, kill the infidels wherever you find them. (...) " Surah 8 v17: "You did not kill (your enemies). It is Allah who killed them. When you wear a sudden, it is not you who wears but Allah and the believers feel a great race " Sura 47 v35: "Do not be weak and do not ask peace when you are stronger and that Allah is with you! (...) " - Concerning the incentive to torture (yes, in a religious text reference!): Sura 5 verse 33: "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah (...) is that they are killed or crucified, or be cut off their hands or feet (...) " - Concerning incitement to discrimination and hatred of non-Muslims (atheists or members of other faiths): Sura 9 verse 28: "The infidels that are stain " Sura 9 verse 30: (Jews and Christians) "May Allah curse them (...)" The Jews are described as unjust beings, evil lawless (Sura 2 verse 89/95, Surat 2 verse 79/85, Sura 2 verse 73/79, Sura 5 verse 41) Sura 4 is a torrent of anger and hatred against the Jews (verses 154, 155, 156, 157) while Sura 62 verse 5 the compared to donkeys ... Concerning freedom of religion: Surah 4 verse 89: "(those who leave Islam) then seize them and kill them wherever you are. " Concerning the freedom to dispose of his body: Sura 4 verse 19 (or 15): (the lesbians) "Remember these women in your houses until death do claim them (...)" I will "stop here .. . purchase a copy of the Quran and read it (read it several times ... even with a Stabilo hand!)

@Adaramola, I don't think there is going to be any trouble. Cos There hasn't been any trouble in Saudi Arabia since they Banned Christianity. So Angola should also be fine if truly Muslims are as peaceful, there should be no fighting over this. They have made their choice, so they should all be cool with it. Peace Out.

It is not in every country that there is freedom of worship at least
legally for example there are a lot of country where u can't be a christian though in some it is not expressly stated. E.g Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Morocco. So this is the first nation to be against Islam, so the question is how many people will be killed in
response.

Aren't the muslims in Nigeria fighting to make Islam a state religion? I support Angola....as long as the citizen dont want islam. In UK and South Africa, Christianity is the state religion. Even though they allow muslims to practice their religion there is no public holiday for their festivals. So Nigeria is unique in allowing both religion , but Boko Haram has turn Nigeria into a war zone.

Why is there always noise when actions like this are carried out? There are countries where the sight of a bible in your hands is a criminal offence. The person that commented that Angola will fall justifies the fact that the religion is not of peace. No one is God so you can't say dumb ish about anyone or country. Christianity isn't a religion,it's a way of life. Linda post oooooooo

At those criticizing islam you should pray for forgiveness. First the terrorists you claim are Muslims and are killing in the cause of Allah are doing it at their own stake. It's how they have chosen to interpret their Quran. If one truly reads and understand the Quran then you will know Islam is truly a religion of peace. it condemns killing.
