I see your point. I said before, in some Muslim countries, religions other than Islam are banned and so, if in one non-Muslim country Islam is banned, no body should be angry or upset. Religion is a vicious tribal game. Each religion with its tribalism wants to expand its base and takeover other religions - that is the name of the game.

Anger from muslims is understandable. But the fact remains Islam openly preaches intolerance to other religions and kaafirs. Many islamic countries either ban the practice of other religions in their countries or put severe restrictions and/or impose taxes on non-muslims in various forms. Of late islamic groups have been regularly exporting terror to various kaafir countries. When muslims rise to substantial numbers in their non-islamic host countries they start demanding sharia and special privileges. This is a classic case of one rule for my Islamic country and another rule for your infedel country. Angola's action needs to be seen in this context. Sufi Islam is welcome, not jehadi islam. DVR Rao

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.

Angola Bans Islam, Destroys Mosques
Sunday, 24 November 2013 00:00
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.
