http://www.africanglobe.net/africa/african-state-angola-bans-islam-mosques-destroyed/ AFRICANGLOBE â 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. âRegarding 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. â 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. The provincial governor of Luanda, Bento Bento, said on the airwaves of local radio that âradical Muslims are not welcome in Angola and the Angolan government is not ready for the legalization of mosques.â Minister of Culture, Rosa Cruz e Silva explained that the law on freedom of religion will be reviewed given the current national context , noting that the Government will redouble its efforts to fight relentlessly against religious cults like Islam which are contrary to the customs of Angolan culture. 95% of Angolaâs population is Christian. A quarter belongs to Protestant churches founded during the colonial period, including congregational evangelical church. This decisive action taken by the Angolan head of state is based on a desire to guard against the rise of the Wahhabi ideology that has created havoc, death and destruction in Africa and elsewhere. And as rightly explained Tunisian philosopher Mezri Haddad: âIslamism and Islamophobia feed each other. Worse, long-term Islamism as an ideology destroy Islam as religion. â According to the International Religious Freedom Report 2008, Islam in Angola is a minority religion with 80,000 â 90,000 adherents, composed largely of migrants from West Africa and families of Lebanese origin. The Muslims comprise between 2.5 to 3 percent of Angolaâs overall population of 17 million people, most of them Christians. in the last decade, but especially during the last few years the Muslim community in Angola has grown appreciably and Islamic activities have become more common in major cities. Mosques have sprung up in a number of places and Qurâanic schools have been built to provide Islamic instructions and teach Arabic language to adherents. Public attitudes toward Islam have been generally negative. Cultural differences between Angolan and Muslim immigrants have been the basis for negative views toward Islam, as was the perceived link between Islam and illegal immigration. Since the September 11 attacks, there has been a deliberate attempt to link Muslims with terrorism. It has become a matter of routine at Luanda airport for security officers to detain Muslims arriving from Sahelian countries. On September 1, 2008, a Muslim mob attacked non-Muslims in the community of Andulo. The school-age daughter of a deacon at one of the churches was decapitated. Forty Christians were assaulted or tortured. The mob burned three church buildings. They also went to non-Muslim houses to intimidate them or destroyed items of property. Stones were thrown at the headquarters of a local Christian project, causing some damage. An Angolan Christian leader said that the local police were unable to stop the attack and fled the scene. Can't imagine this going down well internationally or in religion... Wonder how much research they did into the causes of problems in their country
Sometime in the future, I can see the world being divided on this basis if things carry on the way they are..
I've worked in Angola a lot and they won't be losing any sleep over what the rest of the world thinks. Light the touch paper and stand well back, fireworks are coming.
My cousin used to work there, doing charitable work trying to set up schools. He has some 'hair-rising' stories to tell. Invest in Africa? No thanks, especially with all this around the corner: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-25095471 Blood River by Tim Butcher is a good read - says a lot about post-colonial mess. The Belgians and Portuguese being the worst culprits.
the story is being denied by certain government officials ... http://www.ibtimes.com/angola-denies-it-banned-islam-destroyed-mosques-1484898 though if it does pan out to be true '**** and fan' comes quickly to mind- maybe Angola would take on the 'Great Satan' label?
I don't think it's that we don't have the bottle I just don't think we're that ignorant or stupid. Safe to say the Islamic extremists will be stepping it up around that area of Africa now.
It was only a matter of time that this was going to happen in parts of Africa mate..Islamic extremists have already got a massive foothold in the likes of Nigeria ans Somalia, and many people and governments in Africa are in fear that the same will happen to them. I firmly believe that this will just be the start of many countries in that region being either divided or at civil war over religion..
While on holiday in mombasa Kenya A LOCAL MUSLIM RADICAL WAS SHOT ALONG WITH HIS 4 BODYGUARDS. ON the road from mombasa to mwtapa, large riots followed, involving cars burnt . Nov 2013 resulting in the police shooting 5 radicals in Mombasa a mosque haven.. normaly christian Kenyans do not gather and push for trouble its not the done thing...... However Kenyan police are armed there is no inquiry into how and when certain people are shot dead. suffice to say Kenyan police have my ideology look for it and you will find it . there are to many radicals around the world, but in Kenya unlike Britain. they take no ****, don't obey the law suffer
