This Country Banned Islam
In the wake of the terrorist attack on Brussels, Ted Cruz and Donald Trump
have both spoken about increasing vigilance towards radical Islam, with
Trump reiterating calls to limit immigration from Islamic countries and Cruz
calling for increased policing in Muslim neighborhoods. These are actions
that a majority of conservatives support, but do they go far enough?
One country didn't think so. They banned Islam outright:
By popular demand, Angolan authorities have taken pre-emptive action
and decided to ban the Muslim religion, which they consider a cult,
NOT a religion. They see what Muslims are doing to non-Muslims,
especially in Africa, and are taking steps to prevent the same from
happening in Angola.
In early October 2013, the Muslims living in Luanda in the municipality of
Viana Zango were shocked to see the minaret of their mosque dismantled
into pieces on the ground without permission. On Thursday 03 October
in the morning, the Angolan authorities decided to destroy the mosque
Zango located in the urban district of Viana 17 km.
The governor of Luanda Bento announced in a radio spot that radical
Muslims are not welcome in Angola and the Angolan government is
not ready for the legalization of mosques in Angola.
And on Tuesday, November 19, the Minister of Culture, Rosa Cruz e
Silva said. “Regarding Islam, the legalization process has not been
approved by the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights. Therefore all
mosques would be closed until further notice. “ It should be noted that
the Angolan government has made closing of all mosques a priority.
The only two mosques located in Luanda have already received a
warning document signed by the mayor of the municipality of
Viana José Moreno.
