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.”

Merry Christmas
Pissing I’m my ear and trying to tell me it’s raining does nothing more than make me mad. Were about to start a game called cowboys and muslims, and its not going to be any fun for you
Tim Brown why? I’m an atheist. I’m as likely to despise a christian as I am a Muslim. Sadly, we protect all faiths.
Additionally, killing anyone is a crime. If you hate then so much, why risk the death penalty for their deaths?
It was never banned. By your extrapolation, Judaism and Christianity were also banned. The law was overturned in 1971, but even so; it never made mention of Islam directly.
