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.
