Angola has reportedly declared Islam illegal and ordered for all of the country's mosques to be closed down.
Minister of culture Rosa Cruz e Silva said that mosques in the largely Christian country would be closed until further notice.
She described Islam as a 'sect' that would be banned as counter to Angolan customs and culture.

There are unconfirmed reports that mosques across the African country are being destroyed, according to the International Business Times.
President Jose Edurado dos Santos reportedly told the Osun Defence daily: 'This is the final end of Islamic influence in our country.'
Along with Islam, which is a religion associated with less than 1 per cent of the population of 19 million, 194 other 'sects' have been banned in the nation, where more than half the population is Christian.
Ms Cruz e Silva said: 'The legalisation of Islam has not been approved by the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights [and] their mosques will be closed until further notice.'
Clashes between Christians and Muslim people are frequently reported in the local media.

Angola may be Communist, but they got this right.

That's exactly what we should do in the USA!

She is right! Islam is a cult.
yes, I pointed that out, specifically, so as to not confuse anyone. I figured it would any way, but ok....
You must’ve missed it...
It was in post #2.
Thanks ForYourChildren.
Islam is a satanic death cult. Literally.
The claim that Angola banned any religion has been investigated, debunked and found to be a hoax which is why we haven’t heard anything on the story in two years. Some things must just be too good to be true.
After today all countryes should folloe suite.
