President Jose Eduardo dos Santos : approve Islam as a religion in Angola

Angola has banned Islam. All mosques had been shut down. According to Angolan Interior minister Islam is not recognized as a religion, so all mosques must shut down until further notice.

Why is this important?

Islam is banned in Angola. The The now banned religion of Islam is practiced by a very small percentage of the 18.5 million inhabitants of Angola. Only about 80,000-90,000 Angolans practice Islam. Freedom of religion is recognized by all civilized nations. The world community must pressure Angola to recognize Islam and reopen mosques for prayers.
