Angola Reportedly Bans Islam, Destroys Mosques

According to several Angolan newspapers, Angola has
become the first country in the world to ban Islam and
Muslims, taking first measures by destroying mosques in the
country.
"The process of legalization of Islam has not been approved
by the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights, their mosques
would be closed until further notice," Rosa Cruz e Silva, the
Angolan Minister of Culture, was quoted by Agence Ecofin
on Friday, November 22.
Silva's comments were given during her visit last Tuesday to
the 6th Commission of the National Assembly.
She asserted that the decision was the latest is a series of
efforts to ban 'illegal' religious sects.
According to the minister, the action was necessary to fight
relentlessly against the emergence of congregations whose
worshipping is contradicting with the customs of the Angolan
culture.
Same as Islam, other faiths which were not legalized will face
closure of their houses of worship.
According to CIA Factbook, 47% of Angolans practice
indigenous beliefs, 38% Roman Catholic and 15% Protestant.
