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.”

Good for that country. U.S. Shouldn’t allow them built either.
Smart people!!!!
Why can’t the US do this?
The government needs to address the training camps that are spread in 33 states. The FBI was told to stand down, why? Our last Pres. told them to. They won’t let anyone in, they will point an AK47 in your face if you don’t leave. Why is this aloud to happen?
Deport all
if only the rest of Christendom would do the same as Angola
Who’d have ever thunk Angola would do what all Christian nations should do. Ban Islam. It’s anti west anti Christian anti freedom. They are out to destroy our culture, or what’s left of it.
Needs to be done here
Good for them they know what they’re doing
Great
