This may be the first time I've ever thought we should follow the lead of an African country.

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.
The Moroccan paper quoted Angola’s minister of culture, Rosa Cruz e Silva, for details.
“The process of legalization of Islam has not been approved by the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights,” Cruz e Silva said. “Their mosques would be closed until further notice.”
The ban, which includes an order to destroy all mosques in the country, isn’t specific to Islam, according to India Today. Other faiths which don’t meet government approval will face the same restrictions.
“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,” Cruz e Silva was quoted by as saying by the Cameroon Voice.
It’s not clear which other religions are included.
Other government officials firmly agreed with the culture minister.
Bento Francisco Bento, governor of the country’s Luanda province, has declared that radical Muslims are “not welcome in Angola.”
“This is the final end of Islamic influence in our country,” added Angola’s President José Eduardo dos Santos.

There really is no other solution apart from genocide.

Not surprising, given the nation is made up of three predominate political parties: UNITA which was led by the late Jonas Savimbi and fought and lost out to the more Soviet-style socialist MPLA whose motto is a not surprising "Peace, Work and Liberty"...that latter one a far far distant third, and the anti-Communist NLFA. The MPLA is the predominate party, so...like most Soviet-influenced socialist parties their opposition to Islam and other subversive religions is not surprising.
But all that aside, it doesn't mean their actions are without merit. All should be in agreement that there is no peaceful coexistence possible with Mohammadan's!

Update, 2:32 p.m., Nov. 25, 2013: Officials at the Angolan Embassy in Washington, D.C., denied Monday that the nation has banned Islam and dismantled mosques, disputing published news accounts and stating that they cannot authenticate comments reportedly made by top Angolan officials that support the claims.
The old saying applies: If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

...they cannot authenticate comments...
is a far cry from an outright denial.
Time will tell.
