I want to point out clearly, again, this article is from Nov 25, 2013.

Not recent, but two years ago.

Nevertheless, a country that has some ‘nads to do what has to be done!

What did it do ? Like I posted earlier the story has been investigated and found to be a hoax. Most mosques that were demolished were because they had been built illegally, without government permission. Others are apparently still operating.

I am horrified at the terrorist attacks in Paris today. However, it is not right to ban any religion. How can we conservatives ask for liberals to give us religious liberty and not do the same for Islam?

Instead we should allow all people to practice their faith peacefully and if they resort to violence, or even preaching of violence, we should respond with arrests and censorship of violent preaching.

After you posted a two year old debunked hoax in Breaking News, you mentioned in the next post that it was two years old. In what post did you mention that the story was never true?

I am not sure how it made it into “Breaking News”. I didn’t put it there.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_Angola#Restrictions_on_mosques


Restrictions on mosques

The International Religious Freedom Report stated that the Angolan government selectively shut down mosques, schools and community centres.[6] Angolan officials denied that a government had a policy to close mosques, there were reports of local authorities closing mosques or preventing their construction on several occasions.

In July 2010, unidentified arsonists set fire to a mosque in Huambo, causing extensive damage.[8] A Muslim leader later said the mosque was burned “a day after authorities had warned us that we should not have built the mosque where we had and that it had to be built somewhere else.”[1]

On September 4, 2010, authorities closed a mosque in Cazenga without prior notice or justification. The mosque reopened a month later.[9]

In November 2011, Angolan authorities tore down a structure being used as a mosque in Cacuaco without notice and without a written order of violation.[10] In December 2011, a Muslim group in the Malanje Province purchased some land, and applied to obtain permission to build a mosque. The Muslim group repeatedly asked the authorities to either grant or deny the application, but received no response. After waiting several months, when the Muslim group began construction, Angolan authorities arrived and destroyed the mosque foundation. The authorities did not provide either a denial of the application, or a citation for offense.[10]

In January 2012, the Angolan government prevented Muslims from building a mosque in Dundo, Lunda Norte Province, even though the Muslim group had a license to do so. In May 2012, the police chained the doors of a building used by Muslims as a mosque and told them to cease praying there. Muslim leaders wrote letters in response, but received no response.[6]

According to the Islamic Community of Angola, a total of 60 mosques, mostly outside of Luanda, have been shut down in 2013. Voice of America reported seeing a video that showed the demolition of a mosque in Saurimo.[11]

Angolan Minister of Culture said “The legalisation of Islam has not been approved...their mosques will be closed until further notice.”[12] The Angolan Embassy in the United States said it was not aware of this remark.[13][4] A spokesperson for the Angolan police said that he was unaware of any government order to shut down mosques. However, Voice of America found a government document telling an official to demolish the “Zango 1” mosque in Viana Luanda province.[11]

Islam is not a religion.
It’s a death cult.

Islam outlawed by Angola.

First sensible and rational law for dealing with a religion of hate and death! Now, when will other governments see the light and do the same?

It is a religion.

People practices almsgiving and fasting. There are a number of laudable elements in it.

And I know about its violent tendencies too, which were there from the very beginning, with Muhammad.

It is more clearly a religion, than say, Confucianism, Hinduism, or Buddhism, or many other “religions” of the east, which are more like philosophies or ways of living.

Islam isn’t a religion.

It is a worldwide political movement meant on domination.

Get your head out of the sand.
