The African nation of Angola has become the first country to ban Islam and Muslims. Angolan President Jose Eduardo dos Santos said Sunday This is the final end of Islamic influence in our country. Angolas ban was first announced last Friday, when Angolan Minister of Culture, Rosa Cruz e Silva said 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. Angolas population of 16 million is predominantly Christian, with only 80,000-90,000 Muslims, the majority of whom are migrants from West Africa and families of Lebanese origin. The crackdown on Islam comes as Christians in the Middle East are being forced from Muslim countries. The Christian population in the Middle East dropped from 20% to 5% currently amid ongoing persecution of Christians by Muslims.
