So when a criminal violence is committed, (As a community) we have to take action against it.
I would like to see all countries ban all religions.

How can you pick up 'hateful and repressive practices of a religion' and ban them? You will be immediately accused of meddling in other peoples religions.

How can you pick up 'hateful and repressive practices of a religion' and ban them? You will be immediately accused of meddling in other peoples religions. I agree with you that Angola is wrong as far as it did not ban other religions. It should have banned all religions and ask people to follow the State rules and regulations. Almost all religions are cloaked in the veneer of morality and some high sounding principles. But when you strip away the veneer, you find the darker and vicious side of religion. I would like to see all countries ban all religions.

I think Angola is wrong here, especially because they have not banned the other religions. 'Saudi Arabia is barbarian' does not justify other countries to be barbarians also. I think it would be right for any country to ban the hateful and repressive practices of any religion. However, a sweeping generalized ban on some religions, while allowing other religions, is not right/fair.

Yes, I get the point! Saudis can't do anything wrong while Angolans need some civic lessons?

At first, I could not believe also; it seemed implausible. Then I thought - it could be cyber-propaganda against Islam. But, later on, I realized, why would this be so implausible? Saudi Arabia has banned all other religious practices, except Islam, from the beginning. I think - this is the first country in the world to ban Islamic practices.

Last October, Muslims from the urban municipality of Viana, Luanda, attended the destruction of the minaret of their mosque Zengo.
LUANDA – 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 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.
"All sects on the list published by the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights in the Angolan newspaper 'Jornal de Angola' are prohibited to conduct worship, so they should keep their doors closed," she was quoted by Cameroon Voice.
"In addition, we also have a long list of more than a thousand legalization applications," she added.

The anti-Islam comments were not the first by Angolan officials.
"This is the final end of Islamic influence in our country," President José Eduardo dos Santos was quoted by Osun Defender newspaper on Sunday, November 24.
Last October, Muslims from the urban municipality of Viana, Luanda, attended the destruction of the minaret of their mosque Zengo.
The provincial governor of Luanda, Bento Bento, has also said on the airwaves of a local radio that "radical Muslims are not welcome in Angola and the Angolan government is not ready for the legalization of mosques."
He added that Muslims were not welcome in Angola and that the government would not legalize the presence of mosques in the country.
According to CIA Factbook, 47% of Angolans practice indigenous beliefs, 38% Roman Catholic and 15% Protestant.
