Angola reportedly bansIslam. How can they do thatthough?

Shouldn't there be freedom of religion
to every citizen of a country, so how
can Angola do this? If reports are to be
believed then the Southern African
country has become the first country
in the world to ban the Islamic religion. According to multiple reports coming
from Angola, Mosques in the country
have been closed down and some
even destroyed. The Guardian reports that on November 22, the Angolan Minister of
Culture Rosa Cruz e Silva said that
“the process of legalization of Islam
has not been approved by the Ministry
of Justice and Human Rights and so
their mosques would be closed until further notice.” Does a religion need to be legalized?
The minister also said that the closing
of mosques was done in a move to
stop so-called 'illegal religious sects.'
Under new laws in Angola, many
religious sects have suddenly become criminal. Yesterday November 24, Angola
President José Eduardo dos Santos said
that the country is working toward
putting an end to Islamic influence in
Angola once and for all while the
Governor of Luanda, Bento Bento, said that “radical” Muslims are not
welcome in the country and that the
Angolan government will not be
legalizing mosques or other places of
worship for Muslims.
