Incredible: Angola becomes ‘first country to ban Islam’, dismantles mosques

President of Angola, José Eduardo dos Santos

Announcing plans to eradicate the world’s fastest growing faith from its territories, Angola has become the first country in the world to ban Isalm and has taken preemptive steps to enforce it by actually destroying mosques. This action comes by popular demand of the Angolan people because “they see what Muslims are doing to non-Muslims, especially in Africa, and are taking steps to prevent the same from happening in Angola.”

This spate of demolitions started in October when Muslims residing in Luanda woke up to a demolished mosque without prior notice or permission. Other occurrences in the same month included the destruction of the mosque Zango located in the urban district of Viana and a radio broadcast by the Governor of Luanda, Bento Francisco Bento, announcing “that radical Muslims are not welcome in Angola and the Angolan government is not ready for the legalization of mosques in Angola.”

The African Globe reports:

 

And on Tuesday, November 19, the Minister of Culture, Rosa Cruz e Silva said. “Regarding Islam, the legalization process has not been approved by the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights. Therefore all mosques would be closed until further notice. “ It should be noted that the Angolan government has made closing of all mosques a priority. The only two mosques located in Luanda have already received a warning document signed by the mayor of the municipality of Viana José Moreno.

 

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.” Minister of Culture, Rosa Cruz e Silva explained that the law on freedom of religion will be reviewed given the current national context , 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.

 

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 theWahhabi 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. “

 

According to the International Religious Freedom Report 2008, Islam in Angola is a minority religion with 80,000 – 90,000 adherents, composed largely of migrants from West Africa and families of Lebanese origin. The Muslims comprise between 2.5 to 3 percent of Angola’s overall population of 17 million people, most of them Christians.

 

in the last decade, but especially during the last few years the Muslim community in Angola has grown appreciably and Islamic activities have become more common in major cities. Mosques have sprung up in a number of places and Qur’anic schools have been built to provide Islamic instructions and teach Arabic language to adherents.

 

Public attitudes toward Islam have been generally negative. Cultural differences between Angolan and Muslim immigrants have been the basis for negative views toward Islam, as was the perceived link between Islam and illegal immigration. Since the September 11 attacks, there has been a deliberate attempt to link Muslims with terrorism. It has become a matter of routine at Luanda airport for security officers to detain Muslims arriving from Sahelian countries.

 

On September 1, 2008, a Muslim mob attacked non-Muslims in the community of Andulo. The school-age daughter of a deacon at one of the churches was decapitated. Forty Christians were assaulted or tortured. The mob burned three church buildings. They also went to non-Muslim houses to intimidate them or destroyed items of property. Stones were thrown at the headquarters of a local Christian project, causing some damage. An Angolan Christian leader said that the local police were unable to stop the attack and fled the scene.

Your religion is not growing in my region and that is all I care about. keep your trash over there. The good people of those countries let you lunatics behave and stay there because they are kind. We are not kind.

  20. Tambu Kahari you know your problem is you don't know anything, you only speak stupid of what you hear or see, with out even trying to make research on what really happened, or is it just the media trying to show them self, instead, u just mistalk stupidly.
    if you see your father worshiping idol, does it means you should also worship idol? or what is even your problem with the way someone chose to live is life? if you are afraid of islam, it is because darkness will always be afraid of light till eternity.
    you turn political crises to religious so as to black mail islam, uve tried all your best to kill the religion but it burning you that with all your effort, islam is still growing, and it will burn you to ashes or else you repent and accept islam
    must I drink or have sex or do those stupid things that you think are good because you think that they are good? my dear, you have margot in your brain seriously…. if you what to put up or stupid talk, speak with fact not blindly. Allah is God, muhammed is the messanger of ALLAH, and islam is the religion of peace. accept is and you will be saved and have a rest of mind.

  21. Angola president will not pay for anything its high time my brother muslim change or call the people who were spoiling muslim into order. Seriously the religious is know for peace but see what some set of people are doing to the islamic this days, e.g Nigeria, Aghanistan, Iraqi, Syria, Sudan, Mali etc

  22. It is all lies. Why all these violence every where and you still talk that U guys are peaceful ?

  23. Islam means peace.. am prd of my deen. so we dnt care of all wt r u saying here… i love islam i love islam

  24. No. He meant he was going to kill him. That is what muslims do. You know what is so funny? Over there, where the kings of Islam live, the Arabs, they are not killing each other at all.

  25. Here talks another brainwashed African who worships the gods of the Arabs and enslaves himself to them. You should be deported from the land of our ancestors. Seriously.

  26. You bow before someone else's god and you are happy about that? Your misery, your poverty, your grief is because you are praying to the wrong god you stupid black person. Allah belongs to Arabs only and He only hears their prayers. Not yours you stupid, brainwashed, uneducated fool. Go back to the religion of your ancestors, like us Southern Africans. WE believe in the religion of our ancestors first, even before Christianity which is good for parties. But Islam has nothing to offer us. You stupid fool. Eat some bacon that way you won't starve and go about killing people. Drink some wine, that way you can give your mind a rest. Have sex. It is good for you. You stupid slave. I have no respect for you. Islam, Islam blah,blah. Have you nothing better to do than worship a foreign god who doesn't even hear you? Get it together bro. You are lost.

  27. salam 'alaykum my dear muslim breathrens, also i greet you fellow commenters,i want us stop the ""He will pay for what he did"" comment,what should be our priority is pray to Allah(for non muslims, its arabic name equivalentArabs call GOD of Abraham,Isaac,Ishmael,JacobMoses,Messiah,et.c) to help create a peaceful environment fo the distressed innocent muslims.just that you should know spain did almost a similar thing years after spain was conquered by the west fromthe the then muslim empire,but in their case they killed the whole muslims in the muslims in the country then calling it justice,but now its crawling back there due tovnew emigrants,but with sacrifices.
    Many are ignorant of the fact that it is what the media wants you to perceive about the religion Islam, you would perceive,bcos their only means to their supposedly knowing and understanding is through them.Thanx to those who designed these conspiracies.A conspiracy that the main villains are never seen in the media,but the used once are advertised as the main villain.
    Many muslims to have moved by these blackmail conspiracies cos they themselves dont know what Islam is all about xcept it is the religion of peace,which is true.it is the only religion that practicing it leaves you in a state of peace with your creator,brethrens,fellow human being and the whole of creation".but thanx to the designed controversial crisis worldwide,ppl will question that defintion of peace.
    A religion that prohibits taking life unjustly, be it a muslim's life or non-muslims life.Allah promises such persons who does such hell xcept the one who was defending his life from an oppressor,or during a battle to defend the muslim nation from other oppressing nation,but never to the extent of taking innocent lives,who are not on the battlefield.neither was sucide aloud,infact promise that awaits suicude is dat whoever does so will b tormented with watever he used to kill himself in hell.
    so a religion which clarifies that even ones personal life and others are sacred,how would it support chaos.but also thanx to the people you dont know who have also sponsored false scholars(a topic of another time) to preach wrong doctrines.Islam is seen through the wrong channel

    Muslims,dont be surprised,the christians have only been showing what they would to us muslims,if they have the upper hand,bcos they know its the only doctrine that surpasses theirs like how theirs surpassed judaism.but how would a christian feel when Allah judges among we His creation and denounces to them like He said in the Qur'an,that He has no offspring.
    Also Nigerians will see the agenda of CAN for we muslims.Part of their leaked agenda was that their men should marry muslimbladies(as majority of our society are fed with the doctrine "the religion of the husband is automatically the wives religion".but wen their daughters marry a muslim man,they abrogate their saying, saying xcept in this condition'. but naturally in the Qur'an,it said this religion is not by compulsion in Qur'an 2:v256:
    There is no compulsion in religion. Verily, the Right Path has become distinct from the wrong path. Whoever disbelieves in Taghut and believes in Allah, then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will never break. And Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower.)
    so from these you will only know GOD didnt beg us, muslims to compulsory the religion on every citizen,even though they are the majority.
    Even in this country of ours,( Nigeria),the media propagates boko Haram menace,but from the genesis of the mayhem the version we hear from the northern muslims(be it yoruba or hausa) are never the same with what the media tells us.the target the media will show might be a church like a case study of one that happened where i watched news of such &the christian casualties were mentioned but the muslim corpse i cant tell,but wen a yoruba not even mentionin wat a hausa told me,(he said his house was some blocks to where the church was,but on the day of the incident security of the church was tightened& the people in church were far from gate on that day&the oncoming car was prevented from entering&dat wen d car exploded most of the people around that church were killd as they were muslims,but instead of them attending to the muslim casualties,most were rushing into the church to rescue the people in there(as the first thing that came to mind was that those were the targets)&that after the incident they saw live explosives(dynamites) with some non-muslim(but which non-muslim will believe this)),but our beloved media gave us in lagos what they(the …) want us to believ in the south .many conspiracies are going on,as many are gaining from it at the expense of innocent muslim lives.i as a muslim is scared of reaching there lest they blacmail me as a terrorist and kill me(their agenda to reduce the muslim populace there and make the place majority christian(another topic i aint ready to discuss)
    yet the christians blackmail us cults,even though they know its not.
    Even wen a muslim country after different countries are having civil war between,them,U.S& U.N turn blind, but wen the youths rose up to dem&discarded their democratic & decided to use their creators law over that of mankind,the U.S dropped bomb on an innocent community and innocent lives were lost,buttheir eyesight couldnt see that those were innocent lives instead a differen picture is painted &all we hear is dat law must not be used(authoritative on these conditions&only thing the world can see is allegations that they are affliated to Al-Qaeda.A name they've used to terrify us&they are supporting same Al-Qaeda against the syria govt(global hypocrisy).even though our religion doesnt support such,what would happen,if the arabian pennisula expels christian from there.U.S&U.N would be the first to respond(hypocricy despite that their fingers are not clean from blasphemies of our country).
    so,my brethren,lets keep praying to Allah to make we and our brethrens have a peaceful life and that HE makes of the righteous.

  28. Am always careful to talk about religion but when you see what Muslims are doing to non-muslims you kind of wonder. Is it the September 11 attack in the US, the mall attack in Kenya about 3 months ago (I cried when I watched the video), Boko Haram killing school children in Nigeria, too much to mention!

  29. no matter how you speak ill of Islam,it will always prevail.don't you have sense of thinking.

  30. What about the traditional religion,that is practiced in Brazil,does ot not excist in Angola?

  31. Oraelosi Kenechukwu We, the Southern Africans will fight the Arabs and this disgusting cult they call a religion to the last man, woman and child. We have not forgotten our history and we still have our culture. Arabs have always been the enemy of the black man. And their religion Islam is a definite evil, degrading, cult.

  32. Tambu Kahari i concur. it is a cult. it erases cultures, norms and political systems, even languages, replacing it with its own. That's not a religion, that's a political system, and the act of it is political expansion. its no different from the empire building days of Alexander and Xerxes. notice how the central Muslim population still refers to itself with terms depicting an empire, such as sultanates. that's also why it shares the same highly violent tendencies as expansionist empires once shared. you cannot call the former British, or any other empire evil in terms of their expansionist movements in Africa, when Islam is doing the exact same thing using the exact same methods. how many of the supposed Christian countries have Christianity as enforced state religions and enforce christian laws in their legislature? contrast that with sharia.

    it is the Africans who support Islam that i pity. if they were students of history, they would have understood that northern Africa once was predominantly inhabited by black Africans. that population has gradually been decimated by the advancing Arab Muslim tribes, who were never true natives of this continent. its the Berber tribes who first introduced Saharan Africa to slavery in the 12th, 13th and 14th centuries before the arrival of the whites, that's why when the Portuguese came, there was already a system of slavery in place. these Africans, who support Islam, who do not know history, do not realize the creed of Islam, which is to islamize the world and ARABISE Africa. not islamize it, ARABISE it.

    in the end, let truth prevail, and let darkened eyes, eyes not seeing the persistently government sponsored religion based conflicts of the Sudan region, or the central African region, let those eyes be opened by truth.

  33. explain your statement to the hundreds of thousands killed and displaced in central african republic by islamist rebels

  34. then I guess of all of us in Southern Africa will "pay" cos we all hate Islam. It is not a religion. It is a cult. A very dangerous cult that ruins cultures and people. It is scary. We have always felt this way and will continue to do so. Only now, we are making it law. More of those Muslim prayer places should come down. They have no right to exist on the land of our ancestors. No right. They should go to the Middle East and stay there.

  35. no emmanuel he means he is going to pay on the day of judgement. islam is all about peace.

  36. Abubakar that means you will bomb him right? That's exactly why he banned mosques. You guys only understand violence.

  37. Angola president will pay for what he did

  38. I seriously dont know what to say to this kinnav thing. I tire.
