No, Angola Has Not 'Banned Islam'. It's a Little More Complicated Than That.

Opposition parties and international human rights groups have long accused President Dos Santos of suppressing human rights and using violence to block dissent. And in this instance, it could be argued, that the legalities surrounding the practice of Islam in Angola, point to a culture of repression in the southern African country.

Yes, I’d say there’s more going on there than a blanket banning of Islam. The government there is making it tough on everyone because… their president is a jerk.

But that doesn’t stop the wingnuts from celebrating. I wonder if they celebrated this:

…a number of churches have also reportedly been demolished for being “unlicensed”.

Ooops.
