The ROP is not going to take this well




A number of newspapers in the region are reporting that the Republic of Angola has outlawed Islam, apparently in an effort to thwart the spread of Muslim radicalism in the country.


Among them was La Nouvelle Tribune, a French-language newspaper out of Morocco, reports the International Business Times.


La Nouvelle Tribune observed that a minaret on an Angolan mosque had been removed previously. Also, in the small city of Zango, not far from the capital of Luanda, government officials reportedly destroyed a mosque.

Sadly, it will come to that if the RoP has anything to do with it...

We did this yesterday.  It got locked due to a CoC violation. (Maybe more than one.)



If you don't want this one to get locked,  pay attention to the CoC,  particularly the first article of it.



Follow the CoC RELIGIOUSLY.





No derogatory comments of a religious, ethnic, or sexual nature, please.





THINK before you post.





Let's see if this one can avoid the lock.

I would fully support their freedom of religion if this was threatened here... and they were American citizens... and they weren't trying to kill us... and they weren't making a habit of for torturing, murdering and beheading people (including civilians, especially women and children) of differing faiths from their own.  

I'm imperfect and strangely okay with it.

Freedom of religion and such.

Some blow stuff up and some are deafeningly silent when some blow stuff up.

Either all of that needs to change, or this is going to happen. As it is, spreading radical Islam is the root cause of most of the Western world's problems right now and is instrumental in facilitating the rise of the out of control police state.

Losing skyscrapers, losing people at a marathon, and seeing the ridiculous "keep us safe" response it empowered that is destroying our freedom can make one a little less...tolerant.

I don't necessarily want Islam, orany other religion for that matter, to go away. What I want is the "peaceful" Muslims to get off their lazy asses and clean house. Stand against the festering jihadists and hate mongering clerics who preach violence towards others and domination by any means. Until that day comes, the peaceful Muslims are complicit by virtue of their silence....Not speaking out against the violent factions within Islam is tacit approval of their actions as far as I'm concerned....

Or we can have videos of Muslims whipping their maids and stories about Muslims kidnapping members of the host country for the next 10,000 years. Don't you ever want to see suicide bombing go away? Seriously, Filipinos would smack you for your defense of Islam. It is really easy to defend Islam as a comfortable white man, far from the perils of actually living next to these people.

It is wise to ban a theocratic ideology that is not only incompatible but directly in conflict with all others.





ETA- Isnt it?


If you value liberty, you cannot really argue for such an ideology.

now if they can just back it up and hold it down...

I've got mixed feelings on this.  Overall I think It's a bad idea to ban religions.  On the other hand I can see a harsh response to a group which has essentially declared war on you.   I don't know why the response should be different just because they have a system of government/religion all rolled into one big behemoth.

Is isn't just theocratic, it's also entwined with a political system and laws. That is the problem.

I want a world where there's just saber rattling and brushfire wars in third world countries between warlords. I am sick of the stormtroopers in public places to "keep us safe", the TSA groping, the NSA monitoring and all the rest, all ostensibly justified in response to the threat of Islamist terrorism.

I want to be able to walk in freaking Boston without wondering if someone left a backpack to blow up children at a public event full of happy people. I want the Western world to regain its freedom. And it cannot as long as Islamists are periodically blowing shit up and giving statists the excuses needed to grind the boot heel on everyone else.

So much money is being wasted fighting these fourth century savages. So much that could be going towards a space program, reaching for the stars, whatever.

I don't really have a problem with any religion until they "organize" and force their views on you either by threat or by law.

 



A man ought to be able to believe whatever he want's as long as he respects the same of the next man.




As long as your religion follows this,  I'm good,  when it doesn't don't be surprised when your "freedom" is threatened.

The part that I'm factoring in is that the only ways Islam has ever been impeded are by application of force and cultural imiscibility. Laws prohibiting it are part of the latter. We'll see.
