Angolan authorities are to ban Islam, which they consider as a cult and 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.
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.
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.
95% of Angola’s population is Christian.
A quarter belongs to Protestant churches founded during the colonial
period, including congregational evangelical church.
