In 2013, Angola was reported to have become the first country in the world to put a ban on Islam which is practiced by some 1% of the population.
The allegation was that the country has ordered all mosques to be closed down until further notice from the country’s parliament.
The country’s minister for culture-Rosa Cruz Silva reportedly said mosques in the largely Christian nation has been shut because Islam is a religion that counters the Angolan customs and culture, making the religion and the Angolan State incompatible.
“The legalization of Islam has not been approved by the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights [and] their mosques will be closed until further notice’’, Ms Cruz was quoted as saying.
The International Business Times reported that there were reports that mosques across Angola were being destroyed by unidentified thugs believed to be Christians.
The President of Angola, Jose Eduardo dos Santos also reportedly told the Osun Defence daily that the end of Islam in the country has come.
“This is the final end of Islamic influence in our country, we shall not allow it to flourish like in the past, we are done with it “, he said.
But in a sharp contrast to the ban, the Director of the Angolan Ministry of Culture and National Institute for Religious Affairs-Manuel Fernando denied in an interview with the French news agency- Agence France-Presse (AFP) that the country has banned Islam.
“There is no war in Angola against Islam or any other religion, there is no official position that targets the destruction or closure of places of worship, whichever they are”, he told AFP.
In all these confusions about who is telling the truth about the faith of Islam in Angola, the Islamic Community of Angola (ICA) said eight mosques have been destroyed in the past two years and anyone who practices Islam risks being found guilty of disobeying Angola’s penal code.
Human rights groups including the Open Society Initiative of Southern Africa (OSISA) also confirmed the ICA allegation and condemned the Angolan government.
“From what I have heard, Angola is the first country in the world that has decided to ban Islam. This is a crazy madness. The government is intolerant of any difference”, said the Country Director of OSISA in Angola-Elias Isaac.
Whereas the alleged ban sparked controversy around the world especially the Middle East where some countries reportedly burnt down Angolan flags, there was uneasy calm in Angola itself.
Local reporters frequently report series of clashes in the hinterlands of the country between Christians and Muslims which barely gets reported to the outside world. Tension is gradually building up between Angola as a nation and the Muslim community. But the African Union, the United Nations and other so called conflict resolution bodies have turned a blind eye on it.
Probably, they are patiently waiting for it to explode like what is happening in the Central Africa Republic (CAR) before running in disguise for “useless and needless” humanitarian assistance.
As long as we are human being, we are bound to disagree on issues but the point is that those we have elected to lead the affairs of the world should be proactive instead of always being reactive. It is only through that we can bring peace to the world. Serious negotiations on religious tolerance are needed in Angola. Let us not underestimate anybody. Many have already died in the CAR. We do not want a repeat of that.
the more they hate, the more islam rises.
the fastest growing religion in the world is islam…if the haters stop hateing us then the rise of islam will be decline…haters publicise islam n people come near the truth of islam n they accept it!
If your barbaric religion would stop killing people in the name of Allah, then people would stop hating your religion. If your not part of the solution you are part of the problem. Fuck em, all islamist should move to syria because this peace loving world wants no part of the barbarism that islam spreads.
Victims of beheadings,forced marriage,female circumcision,honour killings,rape,etc tell a different story! Everyone hates criminals and Islam is full of them!
Your inappropriate judgement will kill many humans soon.
I hope you feel happy about it. Success with spreading Islam phobia.
Those who spread Islam phobia or any religion phobia are the nr1 criminals.
Because if you spread hate than people who are stupid enough not to explore the truth might take an inappropriate action which can lead to innocent people being killed because of their faith.
Smartsam, it was not a judgement but a statement of fact. Just by your admission that islamaphobia will result in many deaths you admit it that it is a violent, evil, barbaric ideology that needs to be eradicated or changed to remove every scrap of violent teachings from its’ writings.
dude, “phobia” is an unreasonably high and/or unfounded fear of something.
therefore, hating islam is not phobia, it’s a completely natural, sane, and APPROPRIATE reaction to the violent, oppressive, xenophobic terrorist sect that islam is.
“inappropriate action which can lead to innocent people being killed because of their faith.”
nacism ban sets the precedent that people upholding and spreading dangerous, hateful, xenophobic and violent beliefs are not innocent.
I am more and more inclining to the judgement that ISLAM is actually NOT a religion. WHY?
Religion do worship a god and have a peaceful get together. They do not have a political arm or a military arm or Law and Justice system.
When you look at Islam it has the Bruslim Motherhood and many more as political parties. Islam has hundreds of Military organisations who wage war against other cultures. Islam has it own Sharia Law and killings beside the law of the land.
Islam is a barbaric doctrine sold as a religion. It is a supremacist and Nazi idiology with a network of organizations that is trying to conquer the world. Hence it is a political military organisation based on lose networks.
Islam has been killing, raping, enslaving and murdering for 1400 years. Where is you mind and thinking processes. You need to study that so called religion and learn about what they did in Spain and in Turkey (before it was Turkey) and what they have done though out history. Currently you are blind. They are the one group of people that are currently at war in 15 countries with the society at large. They are the one group of people that have in the near past and today using bombs as a weapon of mass destruction killing innocent people. I can tell that you are completely influenced by the Liberal White News.
Oh Frankie you nailed it, I remember those days 1400 years ago, you and I, in the desert, you know! must be a miracle we’re still alive with all those things you said about Islam. Happy 1400-year-old birthday Frankie, you really saw it all.
there is nothing inappropriate about that statement. You need to know the TRUTH of Jesus Christ’s teachings.
Get a red letter Bible(Jesus’words) and learn the truth for yourself.
Do not die in ignorance.
you are an islamophiliac.
The pedophile perversion of the sect Islam is the most vicious dangerous and barbaric cancer in the world.
Angola is pioneer for the world
Not so smart-then please explain dawa (world wide dominance) and tiqyiyya (lieing to infidels) in your Koran?? islam is not a religion but an ideology
Yeah you might want to reconsider that… because that is not the religion, those things are more prone to a culture on a certain place..has nothing to do with the religion…
culture of a certain place is closely related to its religion(s) (unless it’s mostly secular place).
culture of a place where a single religion is the only legal religion IS THE SAME AS THAT RELIGION. In a place where religion is law, that religion creates the culture, that religion is the culture.
So regarding islam, it will always have everything to do with islam.
The cause of islamaphobia is the Muslims themselves, if they did not want to conquer the whole world through violence and enforce sharia law, they wouldn’t be this problem
Why not start by asking your BARBARIAN CHRISTIAN government to stop providing Bombs and guns to Terrorists. Many Terror Organisations were funded by US to topple democratically elected governments to loot gas and resources, and provide Islamist terrorists with unlimited supply of arms. Its your very CHRISTIAN government. Terrorism is a problem faced by humanity, so stop calling names, but learn the truth.
Our government is in no way a Christian government. I have no intention of arguing with you on the rest of your fact laden statement.
You kill in the name of Allah while the “christian”-world does kill for money, resources and other interests (and to keep the own human rights).
So fuck off with your religion if you bring hate with it. You hate on christians? You shall leave the world. Christians hate on islam because god? They shall leave us as well.
Well said. No religion supports killing.
You have to be smart enough to understand it.
Any government that does what you say is definitely NOT Christian. There are many people in the U.S. who ARE Christians
Christians believe and live the way Jesus Christ taught.
If you knew what HE taught, you would then KNOW who a true Christian was. Everything you have accused Christians of doing has NOT been done by Christians.
The US government is not based on any religion. It is secular and democratic, meaning it gives power to it’s citizens of various cultures to enact codes of conduct for the sustainance of a common peace everyone wants. It is not a religion and defiles all religious doctrines that may in anyway pose threat to the security and the common peace the American people have created for themselves. Democracy is the government of a people who have decided to create a secular and dynamic culture irrespective of what religious sect they belong. No religion will say ‘ I will conquer the world’ under the constitution and therefore try to do anything against the constitution.
No one is forcing those countries and people to buy or pick up and use those weapons.
A religion is not capable of killing people. Islam also does not allow or support killing. Human beings kill other human beings. At this point milions and milions of innocent muslim civilians are murdered,killed and entire muslim societies are ethnically cleansed. I’d suggest you read, expand your knowledge to avoid being so obnoxiously ignorant. God bless.
Yeah right:
9:5 When the sacred months are over slay the idolaters wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them. If they repent and take to prayer and render the alms levy, allow them to go their way. God is forgiving and merciful.
So why more and more people are accepting Islam as you told it is Barbaric?
I assume you refer to the growth of Islam in your statement more people are accepting. It’s called reproduction/indoctrination and assimilation the average muslim family consists of 3.5 children per couple which is almost twice that of other western societies and religions add to this the number of people who have been given the option convert or die, leave the religion and die your point has all the weight of a hot air balloon. Barbaric is an understatement !!!
If you look Islam from different angle than you would have understood the reality but no instead you are blaming an peace full religion instead.
I can take over the world in the name of your religion it doesn’t mean religion supports my idea! no not at all it might not do so but people who don’t bother to go in depth they will agree with me. Of course no one can blame me because I know they are stupid enough to believe what I am telling them and why? because they are not bothered to study.
Islam phobia is the most dangerous weapon that can destroy a whole country. It’s unbeatable people who cause Islam phobia are the once who to blame of killing people in cold blood.
No religion is the blame of war no not at all.
If that was true than there was no live in planet earth.
No wonder why aliens don’t talk to us. It’s all because of those spoilers who spread nothing else than hate..
Remember Allah is always there to put things right. People can hate Islam do what ever they want even kill innocent Muslims. This won’t last for ever.
Soon will the revolution be televised and the identity’s of the haters uncovered.
You say that religion is not responsible for violence/hatred/killing, there are verses in the qu’ran that specifically refer to the subjugation and killing of people of the book, infidels, kaffirs & non-believers. The condoning and encouraging of believers to lie to those same peoples for the purpose of expanding the domain of Allah. Sorry mate are you reading the same book as me or just seriously deluded and picking out the parts you agree with. As I understand it the Qu’ran is the word of god/allah and as such is divine in its entirety above any thoughts and beliefs of men, as such men can not pick & choose what they want. Now the prophet there is another story a man who starts out peaceful as he begins his knew beliefs and slowly turns firstly to a caravan raider, to a caravan raider and killer, then attacks and assimilates other tribes, before attacking an entire city all whilst building a righteous army of allah. Ever since killing the first people in the caravan Islam has not been a religion of peace rather one of expansion and justification of one mans needs & wants.
I suggest you look at the pictures at the top of this article, the one’s showing Muslims with signs saying “Islam will dominate the world” “Muslims rise up establish the shariah” these are tame examples of the images flooding the internet of the barbaric Islamic religion. The koran preaches to kill non-believers. You can say it’s a religion of peace until the end of days but the truth is, it is not. You say people kill people.. they sure do but what is the motive we see behind all these terrorist attacks? Islam. Christianity is exactly the same in my books, the difference between the two religions is a few hundred years, christians were doing exactly the same thing that Islam is doing now. There is no such thing as a peaceful religion. All religions either call for conversion of non-believers or death to non-believers and all for their imaginary sky daddy. I’m so sick of hearing that Islam is a religion of peace, it is not and never will be, if your holy text preaches war and to commit atrocities in the name of your God then it cannot be peaceful and you cannot say they are taken out of context, thats just bullshit, if you believe in the faith then you believe in the scripture. The only time this world will know peace is when religion is abolished from our civilisation. All religions.
Richard,
exactly…or rather spot on!! N JOhn Lennon’s number “Imagine” says it so aptly.
Islam is a peaceful religion. You guys must be on dope or something seriously hilarious
I suggest you stop bullshitting people about/into your hateful violent xenophobic oppressive terrorist cult.
Or maybe you should read your “holy book”, because obviously non-believers know better what it says than you do.
muslims have killed over 800 million people worldwide check history
ove r 100million in india alone
May Allah perish the enemies of Islam including present ANGOLAN Goverment. Their wealth and what they earned shall avail them naught. Soon shall be burn in a sorrowful. Ameen.
even after your comments many people will accept islam and islam will rise rise rise and rise… go on guys start abusing you people dont have anything positive to show and you all are blind of not seeing the truth of who is behind all this politics of blaming islam and muslims..
Abdulla,
I think you should try and quote or state few things Muslims have done to promote peace in the world. There is no point arguing unnecessarily in this cluttered blog
Abdullah
Angola is not and never was an islamic country. The islamic people we have in Angola are all of them ilegal imigrants from west Africa like Senegal, Mali, Mauritania and arabic countries. Those people are living ilegally in Angola. Angolan people we are cristian and your religion hats all other religion and moreover cristian. Your prophet states in your coran in sourate of mohammad verset 23 that every non islamic is the unfaithfull which deserves to die. So your prophet he is the one behind all this destruction because himself lead a seven years war to return to medine were he was born. He is violent prophet and so you are as his disciples. So all islamic people are like their prophet and every non islamic will hate you.
first of which they are killing bomb blasting and destroying are purely not Muslims they are fuckers of Ur mother ass hole Joe
If your barbaric religion would stop killing people in the name of Allah, people would not hate Islamist. The religion of Islam brings the hate upon themselves, until the religion is stripped of its barbaric ways the world will hate Islam. If you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem.
Christians have also commited barbaric attrocities in the past, not only in far distant past but even in the last 100 years. Two world wars, holocaust, millions of people belonging to an religious minority thrown in gas chambers, atomic bombs over civilians targets, etc. Not all of those things were mainly motivated by religion but those who commited them were christians.
I am not blaming christian religion but you see, if muslims did those things a lot of people in the west would blame islam and only islam.
Let’s just be realistic, there are bad people in every religon and ethnicity. Most of muslims countries are not very well developed or democratic and it’s easier for crazies to come forward and grab power.
Isis are evil, I think they are more like some crazy cult than true muslims. True muslims are those who are fighting them.
None of those “barbaric atrocities” were motivated by Christian religious fervor in the way that islamic religous fervor is motivating barbaric atrocities, such as those committed by muslims Salah Abdeslam, Bilal Hadfi, Ahmad Almohamad, Omar Mostefai, Samy Amimour, Abdelhamid Abaaoud and Christ knows who else in Paris, or muslims Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik in San Bernadino, this year alone.
All you can do is think of the hurt feelings of muslims in Western countries while Europeans and Christians die at the hands of foreign islamist fanatics in their own countries.
Your mendacious rationalizations are so much meaningless tripe. There is no meaningful distinction between “true muslims” and a “crazy cult” and you are deceitful to suggest otherwise.
moderators suck my greasy arab cock
Muslims have brought this on themselves. You cannot let a mad dog loose in a community of doves. This is a brave and strong decision that will ultimately be the only way for peace in this world. Every country has had nothing but problems since they have spread across the world. They bring barbaric customs and abhorrant social structures that they try to enforce on others. Let their terrorism remain in out of our lives. Well done Angola!
You realize that those “doves” have killed and committed far worse war crimes than all of the “mad dogs” ever have? The same doves who are about as restrictions and controlling as some of the most strict Islamic majority countries… perceived freedom is not freedom
for fucks’s sake let me enlighten your ignorant ass. First off there is a saying “I have my religion, You have yours” it means we absolutely cannot force a person joining Islam if he or she disfavors teachings or other things.Second dont be such a hypocrite Christians killed more people than muslims “terrorism” which is more than 100 million people.Most importantly ISIS are not muslims they are all created by probably by the american government probably all for profit and Islam never ever allowed the killings of innocent, especially women and children. Of course there would be Extremists in the religion who thinks otherwise.
Mate who are you kidding read your history, the expansion of the Islamic empire before the crusades islam killed,raped,enslaved millions throughout asia, India etc no doubt their are sections within dealing with killing (sorry I’m only about half way through it at the moment)you are choosing to select isolated verse to prop your argument. Next thing your going to say that there are no longer slaves in Islamic countries as well or maybe instead of being “innocent” the women and children are guilty of apostasy or a part of honour killings. Personally as I’m atheist I don’t care who has amassed the biggest body count the point is that Islam has been doing since its inception both to people outsides its own religion and within. ITS A JOKE I just hope we wake before the joke is on us :O
Lol.
And you could give the same example of any modern day religion.
As an atheist you are a dumb shit, thats my educated opinion hahahhahhaha
What we should do is ban all religion anyone who is that weak minded that they have to be lead by the nose by religious leaders reading from some book of stories that are mostly fantasy and nonsense need to be slapped about until they wake up
Are you guys fukn mentally handicapped?
Is there a chromosonal deficiency or excess that has cause you to produce such great examples of bigotry and near sightedness?
No point convincing people like you of shiet.
Easy examples of other religious groups that promote hate
Westborough baptist church
kkk
Claiming that a religion promotes hate when you yourslf know only what has been portrayed to you by the moving pictures on the screen, when those that control the content are already biased and enciting fear, proves the incredible level of your stupidity.
Coming from a western born 1st world muslim, if you think otherwise I suggest you pull your head out of your arse and see whats really happening
Those are two tiny tiny groups. Apples and oranges.
It because of the higher birth rate not because of conversion.
A religion which directs it’s followers to a darker side with enemy around cannot be said that it is a religion which leads to the God. Yes, i agree that islam is the fastest growing religion, and i hope this is also a fact that muslims are the only religion which encourage unwanted delivery. Increasing population and dreaming of a dominion world is foolishness. I sometimes think that Allah is a SATAN, because its words are sweet like nothing else but it’s deeds are devilish and inhuman, do you call this a holy, then muslims will never succeed in this world of God. If Islam was a good religion then eveybody would have like it,but it is not. There are many drawbacks in Islam, do not be proud like a dove there are much more to be taught to Islam.
For your information Allah means god in arab so your actually saying that you think god is satan.God had already said in the last age nearing the end, violence and hate spread widely, people are oppressed especially muslims. Your such a hypocrite the crusades killed more people than any other religion have as far as i know.Since when did muslims dreamed of world dominion? you are either too ignorant or mentally retarded to believe that.Dont think you are so perfect no one is dont be such an ass I dont call other religions are satan worshippers or anything. I got my religion you got yours no need to interfere.
farhan, in the photo one of the protesters has a panel which says islam will dominate the world and in the coran your prophet tells you to dominate the unfaithfull in other words all non islamic people. The Islamic countries do not accept foreign cristians to live there and also i never ear that islamic people were taken ostage or beheaded but cristian people are mainly in the arabic countries. Cristian do not poursuit ex-cristian in simple fact that they became islamic but islamic people you do. Everything you do shows us that you are evil organization and nothing else.
Yet when Islam shuns western stuff that’s cool. Down with brainwashing, Down with Islam. Everyone that believes there’s a man in the sky that tells us what we can and can’t do is an idiot! If I told you this man named john, was the ruler of men, lived in the sky and had magic powers, I wud end up being sectioned for being insane, nobody whould believe me, I know that for sure. All religion is propaganda an scare tactics to keep you ALL under control. Islam, christian or any other religion.. even the propaganda stories in your old books are the same. Dumb fucks. Smoke some DMT and have a little think about what’s real and not…
Only because every other religion has people smart enough to realise that a magical being in the sky is completely retarded. You will never rule the world like you all so believe.
what you just said is right I’ll now share it on my fb.
http://iranaware.com/2014/05/31/islam-the-greatest-murder-machine-in-history/
We hate you because you choose to live like animals. If your ‘religion’ wasn’t out murdering innocents and raping children the vast majority of the world would have no problem with you.
The only reason you goat fuckers are still polluting the planet is because we have a weak sister in the white house who lack the necessary balls to eliminate your sorry asses.
Let us get oblamer out of the white house and someone with some cajones and you will soon be nothing more than a grease spot on the road of humanity..oh and stay the hell out of America, soon it will be open season on all ya’ll and we don’t fight with car bombs and suicide vests.
God you ignorant hypocrite. ISIS is the product of your government.You are mentally ill since you call people goat fuckers,or is it your dark desire to fuck goats.ISIS is a fucking lie, it is a fascist ideology.Yes blame the whole fucking religion not the ones who are not following it right? Clever.I dont want to live in your filthy corrupt government thank you very much.Only a fucking idiot would use a suicide vest.Are you sure you want to declare war against 1.6 billion people when your country has well over 300 million.We chose to live like animals? thats funny when you mindlessly fuck people and spreading STD everywhere like a bunch of animals.I thought an advanced country like yours would be more civilized than you, you must be the lowlifes of your country.Your IQ might be too low for me so might as well end it here and confuse you no further.
Christ is coming soon. Repent and accept Christ as your personal Lord and Savior!
“the fastest growing religion in the world is islam”
let me correct you there, buddy:
the fastest growing (and the only legal) dangerous, hateful, xenofobic, murderous, extremist terrorist sect in the world is islam.
there. now it’s the truth.
“if the haters stop hateing us then the rise of islam will be decline”
oh, another lie. the only reason why you fuckers spread like the disease you are is because liberalism had gotten to an absurd, pathological status, where in the name of tolerance it tolerates the worst and most oppressive intolerance.
What kind of a trend is this? Well but we Muslims should also realize that, none of the Arab countries, especially SA allows other religions. So I do not think we have any rights to preach secularism.
Nevertheless, destroying Mosques, which already exists is not an act in fairness
finally some place to escape to from islam, I so hate this death cult, it should be banned everywhere!
There are no proof that Islam is a death cult, or a cult in the first place, It’s a religion, however if you’re point is to escape from muslims then good luck with that.
No we want remain in peace,It’s not about the president of Angola,it’s us the population we don’t want this Islam in our country we are Christians,we don’t want to be killed and persecuted in our own land ,so I’m proud of my country,we fought for our independence of portuguesa colonial power so we will remain free of any other oppression.
Again with teh fairy tale of fastest growing religion. No one believe this fairy tale. Fastest hated religion instead
You, you are a hypocrite. Stating “hating us”, we have every right in the world to hate your Satanic religion just as much as you animals hate everyone else. The only people who will protect you is the government and I hope that soon changes.
Islam is for males who love sucking dicks…that’s why women are sidelined, the men wear dresses and have beards to stop the come from running down their faces…it’s obvious
you people have defaced the true teachings of prophet mohamed,you hvae turn the rligion into ockery,using same for political,selfish means ,islam is now now for domination ,headings and the procecution of women ,what a same”
http://convertcase.net/
Angolons,let them live peacefully dear. What is your problem?
thanks
Islam flourishes by fear and intimidation. Islam is evil personified.Jesus teaches love your enemies, but not their evil insane deeds.
no Christian hates you! If someone hates YOU they are not followers of Christ.
There is how you prove it. Christ teaches us to love our enemies but not their deeds.
Prove it to yourself but reading about the life of Christ.
Good.
Im all for it. Islam at its root base is a religion that promotes intolorance and hate. Which in the last decace has been used to foster extremism. So I am for it and wondering when other counties will follow suit. Governments shouldnt have to plea bargin with religious factions or worries that extremist religion will destroy there nation.just look at what 9/11 did for us, it brought into all time debt.
would you please care to explain precisely how Islam is making people intolerant, extremist and terrorist rather than the people banning them from their own countries and bombing their land from air?
Well, here’s a start:
1) Al Qaeda
2) The Taliban
3) Al Shabab
4) Boko Haram
5) Islamic State
6) Hamas
7) Hezbollah
8) Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen
9) Lashkar-e-Taiba
10) al-Harakat al-Islamiyya
Exactly! Well said!
Filthy jews!!
There is nothing wrong with Hamas and Hezbollah, they are patriots fighting satanic israel.
Al Qaeda, Taliban, al Shabab, Boko Haram, etc we know that they all are the creation of zionism (namely usa and israel)
the world need to destroy israel and kill all jews, only in that way peace will prevail in the world
Despite thinking this is a troll the zionism point is just an excuse to not admit the truth.
goyim, a man once had the same idea in the 1940’s. And had an army to enforce his final solution. Well the rest of the world except a few other countries didn’t like it, and they destroyed him and his army. So if you going to try his solutions again im sure the world will be glad to destroy you and what ever army you would have.
Some of these replies, full of hate, show why Angola is banning Islam. When are all other Christian countries going to do the same?
Oh and of course they did not receive any support from the US, no…
If you are going to blame Islam for that, the elite will keep you do right where they want you to be.
Almost 80 years ago, the Jews were the scapegoats. Now it’s Islam. Keep on promoting fascism, you’re on a good path.
Is it Facist to be Fascists against facists?
Evidence indicates Islam is a barbaric doctrine sold as a religion. It is Nazi like in its intolerance towards other belief system. Intolerance is not a strong enough word.
If it makes me a Facist to endorse banning facism, then call me a Facist.
not to mention forcing businesses to pay halal or they are threatened, and forcing us to buy products with halal
sum all the of people belonging to these organisations and divide that by the total number of muslims in the world and what you’ll get is an approximation of your IQ.
Oh..Did you hear about Gouantana moubay! Did you research upon 9/11 that why all Jewish employees wasn’t there at their offices?!
And what do you say about Millions of innocent citizens were killed by so called Peaceful fighters.
And why the editor of Charlie headbo make jokes about Islam in the name of freedom but made so much excuses and fired his writer who wrote about holocaust.
You People are so much Double Standard and you are Extremist,Not Muslims.
Angola, you forget to mention that half of your list was created/trained by either Isreal or the U.S therfore the list is invalid. If you don’t believe me research it. Al Qaeda was trained by the U.S, the Taliban was a CIA project, Hezbollah and Hamas, you can thank Isreal.
Brandon, before judging something make sure you understand it well enough. You don’t even know the surface of Islam and yet you are here talking about its root. Just look at what the American Government did for themselves with 9/11.
And they found Muslims to so it ! So what’s your point ?
That doesn’t matter Caterina. How does that make sense? Because they found someone else to do it you think that takes the blame away from the U.S? It’s not just my opinion, it’s more so a fact that the person who hires to do the deed is worse than the person that they convinced or hired to do it. You can argue that all you want but there is no getting around it.
Here is a country that don’t need oil and can think with head. Islam is the same as spread terror. Angola came for decades of war, don’t need this animals there!
The more they try to damage Islam Islam becomes bigger. Do what you want! Allah’s plans are perfect!
You are delusional and part of the problem!
Your so narrow minded and media controlled that you can’t see your hand in front of your face, stop chomping down all the media fed bullshit and get a brain do your own research talk to people who are muslim not radicals, like are depicted some of the nicest people I have met who will go out there way to help you. Rather than criticising try reasoning do you sit and type about all of the clergy of the catholic faith commiting indecent acts on young children no! Why because you haven’t had enough if it forced down your throat. We are all human same bone structure same organs let’s start acting like it and stop turning against each other as we are doing cos all this is gonna do is make us self implode with hate we kill each other then who will be left to fight the real enemies the goverments the bilderberg and the banks..
@Brandon, you are very ignorant and shame on Americans. If you are in the first place. We should have tought ignronat like you more about freedom! which they seem to lack and comprehend.
Actually Omar freedom means not living in fear,being able to choose who you marry,get an education when female, not having genital mutilation forced on you,being free to feel the sun on your skin and not having to be covered head to toe in black fabric, having choices and options and not be bound by fear of death to follow an irrational,destructive,murderous ” religion” that is so extreme it makes followers inflict death on innocent people ,give their children to be dead martyrs, brutalise young girls and women ,and believes it has the right to enter other countries to destroy their customs and culture! The soft westerners have made a mistake with their kindness to Islam believing that they can live together as one. Not realising that is the last thing that will happen! Any open border is a magnet to those bad elements that get a free pass into the gentle non violent English speaking world which the the majority of people are, Govts on the other hand are the real problem in creating wars.
You are so far out of touch with rality it’s actually humorous….
this issues are problems respective to the countries they occur in not the religion as a whole. Maybe read something? Or better yet watch a video might be able to brainwash out the same all other media clearly has hahah
Good for Angola! Perhaps Muslims who are not radical or terrorists will then declare jihad or caliphate against those extreme Muslims who are raping, burning, kidnapping, and killing children, and fight to clean up the Muslim religion. It IS your responsibility to deal with those who disgrace your faith and daily make more of the world hate ALL Muslims.
I am all for it as well. It’s time Muslims start defending their religions and going after the extremists and terrorist who rape, behead, burn and kill children in the name of Islam. Every day more and more people globally hate Muslims because of these groups. Stand up for your religion and show the world you will not tolerate these fake Muslims and Daesh.
They won’t because they all believe in all aspects of Islam. The only difference is some are more obvious,violent and vocal about it!!
Well Done Angola! Congrats! Barbarians must be controled once and for all!
I hope more follow Angolas lead! Well done to them for making a stand! Barbaric customs and crime disguised as a religion has allowed such evil as ISIS,child brides,beheadings,honour killings,female circumcision/ mutilation,stonings,halal cruelty to animals,acid in the face attacks etc to creep into all areas of civilisation. People don’t want this! Their victims don’t want this! And peace will come when they are driven out back to Muslim countries and the borders closed again. It will never stop and I have great sadness for the women and children forced to submit to the actions of the males in this religion. So called political correctness has gone too far. Get back to logic and don’t bring a rabid dog into a community of doves!
With Angola’s mortality rate, they should have better priorities.
So when Islam is band in one Christian country Anonymous go wild but when Christianity and Judaism is banned in like MANY islamic countries Anonymous does not give a shit.
This is not good. Sure, ban ritual slaughter, forced marriage etc. but banning a religion seems a very slippery slope to me. Where do you draw the line? First Muslims, then whoever else the government happens to dislike.
exactly (i am not a muslim) but just read the commentaries and people are going wild…there is a lot of ignorance…this is not ok..ban the criminals not the religion or the individuals that what to pray and live in peace..this is ridiculous…
I am profoundly ashamed by the comments here. How can one congratulate a country for banning a religion? Is this the kind of freedom you defend? The Nazis also banned a religion, destroyed the places of worship and pursued the believers. You know where that led. That’s why in the title it says there’s another genocide in the making. But the commenters here apparently don’t care. Are Muslims second grade citizens to you? Do they deserve death just because a handful of people committed crimes in their names?
If so, what did you do to stop the crusader Anders Breivik? What did you do to stop your country from killing innocent people, waging war and exploiting workers? Tell me!
Well, you’re not much better, eh? So how can you even dare to say such things if you don’t even do anything comparable?
Stop supporting the scapegoating! There are radicals everywhere! In your nation, your religion, etc. Heck, there are even violent monks in Asia! These are just people perverting thoughts and they have to be fought, instead of putting a whole community under general suspicion.
Extreme.
Well most but not all outfits named by caterina et al have at some point or other been funded by cia ie Al Qaeda daesh
Also when we go into terrorism and killings Muslims are way behind Hiroshima Nagasaki ww1 and ww2 Congo srebrenitza genocide Vietnam 5 millions slaves in fact Muslims are the most killed people at the moment by your so called bearers of peace about 1 million in Iraq hundreds of thousands in Afghanistan Palestine Pakistan Libya Syria so next time please do a bit of research
Finally some truth Lee; This is very true. A lot to do with USA, UK giving “democracy” too countries who were far better off without USA influence. Just like funding Syrian rebels – to fight IS.. Syrian rebels are terrorist.. why all this?
Remove Syrian leader Assad next stop Iran…
Bankers are the biggest terrorist group
And yet ISIS/ISIL/IS roll through Iraq with captives in cages destined to be executed in the most horrifying ways while the “peace loving” Muslims stand on the side of the road, cheering. Christianity is banned in most Muslim countries and yet when a Christian country takes the same stance it is against human rights? Here’s a tip……if you really are peace loving Muslims stop sending money to the “Extremist” groups and help stop their slaughter of innocent people.
BTW…..I think any form of organised religion is hypocritical, organised crime.
To my Muslim friends. One day, I hope your god, and my God can be friends. However, you still abide by tribalism, and archaic behavior that cannot be tolerated in a modern world. You pick and choose the aspects of your religion in the same illogical way as Christians do, by blindly following a theory. That’s all it is. A story. Created politically. Christianity is not without it’s dark spots. However, (most) Christians agree that the past is a stain. They do not however see everyone who practices a different religion as evil heathens that should be exterminated like Islam.If Allah in all his cruelty. (Let me remind you that anything that superceeds a writing in the Quaran is what matters. the peace and love scriptures you guys like to point us to are moot in your religion as the war and hate speech your religion encourages is the latest texts) If Allah is as barbaric as your people? Then I would rather burn in hell than glorify a demon like him. Use your head. Think for yourselves. Islam is more or less pretty damn evil. Your blind faith is genocide.
Good get rid of them all or send them all back to there pathetic place they call a country.all I know is if I see a Muslim paki whatever my first thought is … Yep u guessed it terrorist u can’t trust any one of those fuckers not even the kids
I think most people here, are EXTREMIST, and I can Prove it, Let me do;
Do you people tell me why Charlie Hedgbo Make Cartoons about Islam(Nauzubillah) in the name of freedom but made so much excuses and fired one of his writer who wrote about holocaust!..
Why Facebook allow abusing and bad words about Islam but if you write any thing bad about Jew-ism, the content will be removed automatically with the popup “Bad words for Religions are not allowed”.
Do You People can explain about Billions of Innocent People, Specially KIDS Has been Killed By Israil In Ghaza,and Kashmir by India.
Why Recently 3 Muslims Were Killed By Some People in US just Because of Being Muslims and Media did not give any single news about that incident…is that not Double Standard!?!?
In india, One Of the Largest Secular Country Of the world, thousands of girls being raped and the rapist are NOT MUSLIMS. Millions of Muslim were Burnt Alive by Hindus in Gujarat Division is that not Extremism?!?!
Angola has BACKBONE! CONGRATULATIONS TO ANGOLA!!! HEAL ANGOLA!! HOPE THE SAME START TO HAPPEN ALL AROUND THE WORLD!!! BAN ON ISLAM NOW!!!
ps: if you´re muslim and reading this, you can replay to your ass bleeds and I will still be here laughing amaizend by Your Ignorance.
BAN ON ISLAM NOW! BAN ON ISLAM! BAN ON ISLAM!
Pretty sure you can’t go building a Christian church or even practise Christianity in Saudi Arabia and God help you if they suspect that you are trying to convert any muslims.
And How Do You Epxlain This..

All i want to say is that before you say something about Islam you should learn abou it first. Dont just go around and say things that are not true. You should be able to differentiate between culture and religion. Forced marriage and all those things are not Islam. In fact Islam never promotes violence whatsoever. The meaning of Islam itself is peace. Only some muslims are doing wrong things and using Islam as a cover. So don’t say things based on what you saw and hear from the media but study the true Islam first. Then you can comment
Khairul Anam, are you a fool or a liar? The meaning of Islam is Submission, not peace.
To be honest in my eye’s ALL religions are flawed !!!!! Who’s to say that you base your life on a book that has been passed down MANY MANY years that someone sometime has altered it for there own benefit! I believe in my self i don’t need no book to help me live i don’t need no book to tell me HOW to live my life I live it the way i choose too….. GOD ! who is that ? has he came to this planet and shaken your hand and said hi? has he even done something to prove him self? There is NO PROOF apart from a book ! which could of been wrote by some out lander for a joke or some one who wants to be more powerful, what way better to rite a book about something no one would understand! All it takes is a few people to believe and then its a snow ball effect! I understand this may upset a few people but religion in my eyes WILL bring this world to an end …. open ur eyes and see whats in front of you, were all the same skin and bone all that separates us from being one is religion! rant over!
The coming apocalypse is near… this will decide which reality we will live in, one where all are converts to ISLAM, or one where every religion is tolerated but NOT ISLAM.
As long as IS, Hezbollah, Taliban, Hamas,al Qaeda and others wreck havoc in the name of allah (I don’t think allah deserves capitalization), muslims should forget about anybody according them respect. Well done Angola and Australia.

Listed are only events that solely occurred on command of church authorities or were committed in the name of Christianity. (List incomplete)
Ancient Pagans
As soon as Christianity was legal (315), more and more pagan temples were destroyed by Christian mob. Pagan priests were killed.
Between 315 and 6th century thousands of pagan believers were slain.
Examples of destroyed Temples: the Sanctuary of Aesculap in Aegaea, the Temple of Aphrodite in Golgatha, Aphaka in Lebanon, the Heliopolis.
Christian priests such as Mark of Arethusa or Cyrill of Heliopolis were famous as “temple destroyer.” [DA468]
Pagan services became punishable by death in 356. [DA468]
Christian Emperor Theodosius (408-450) even had children executed, because they had been playing with remains of pagan statues. [DA469]
According to Christian chroniclers he “followed meticulously all Christian teachings…”
In 6th century pagans were declared void of all rights.
In the early fourth century the philosopher Sopatros was executed on demand of Christian authorities. [DA466]
The world famous female philosopher Hypatia of Alexandria was torn to pieces with glass fragments by a hysterical Christian mob led by a Christian minister named Peter, in a church, in 415.
[DO19-25]
Mission
Emperor Karl (Charlemagne) in 782 had 4500 Saxons, unwilling to convert to Christianity, beheaded. [DO30]
Peasants of Steding (Germany) unwilling to pay suffocating church taxes: between 5,000 and 11,000 men, women and children slain 5/27/1234 near Altenesch/Germany. [WW223]
Battle of Belgrad 1456: 80,000 Turks slaughtered. [DO235]
15th century Poland: 1019 churches and 17987 villages plundered by Knights of the Order. Victims unknown. [DO30]
16th and 17th century Ireland. English troops “pacified and civilized” Ireland, where only Gaelic “wild Irish”, “unreasonable beasts lived without any knowledge of God or good manners, in common of their goods, cattle, women, children and every other thing.” One of the more successful soldiers, a certain Humphrey Gilbert, half-brother of Sir Walter Raleigh, ordered that “the heddes of all those (of what sort soever thei were) which were killed in the daie, should be cutte off from their bodies… and should bee laied on the ground by eche side of the waie”, which effort to civilize the Irish indeed caused “greate terrour to the people when thei sawe the heddes of their dedde fathers, brothers, children, kinsfolke, and freinds on the grounde”.
Tens of thousands of Gaelic Irish fell victim to the carnage. [SH99, 225]
Crusades (1095-1291)
First Crusade: 1095 on command of pope Urban II. [WW11-41]
Semlin/Hungary 6/24/96 thousands slain. Wieselburg/Hungary 6/12/96 thousands. [WW23]

Until Jan 1098 a total of 40 capital cities and 200 castles conquered (number of slain unknown) [WW30]
after 6/3/98 Antiochia (then turkish) conquered, between 10,000 and 60,000 slain. 6/28/98 100,000 Turks (incl. women & children) killed. [WW32-35]
Here the Christians “did no other harm to the women found in [the enemy’s] tents—save that they ran their lances through their bellies,” according to Christian chronicler Fulcher of Chartres. [EC60]
Marra (Maraat an-numan) 12/11/98 thousands killed. Because of the subsequent famine “the already stinking corpses of the enemies were eaten by the Christians” said chronicler Albert Aquensis. [WW36]
Jerusalem conquered 7/15/1099 more than 60,000 victims (jewish, muslim, men, women, children). [WW37-40]
(In the words of one witness: “there [in front of Solomon’s temple] was such a carnage that our people were wading ankle-deep in the blood of our foes”, and after that “happily and crying for joy our people marched to our Saviour’s tomb, to honour it and to pay off our debt of gratitude”)
The Archbishop of Tyre, eye-witness, wrote: “It was impossible to look upon the vast numbers of the slain without horror; everywhere lay fragments of human bodies, and the very ground was covered with the blood of the slain. It was not alone the spectacle of headless bodies and mutilated limbs strewn in all directions that roused the horror of all who looked upon them. Still more dreadful was it to gaze upon the victors themselves, dripping with blood from head to foot, an ominous sight which brought terror to all who met them. It is reported that within the Temple enclosure alone about ten thousand infidels perished.” [TG79]
Christian chronicler Eckehard of Aura noted that “even the following summer in all of palestine the air was polluted by the stench of decomposition”. One million victims of the first crusade alone. [WW41]
Battle of Askalon, 8/12/1099. 200,000 heathens slaughtered “in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ”. [WW45]
Fourth crusade: 4/12/1204 Constantinople sacked, number of victims unknown, numerous thousands, many of them Christian. [WW141-148]
Rest of Crusades in less detail: until the fall of Akkon 1291 probably 20 million victims (in the Holy land and Arab/Turkish areas alone). [WW224]
Note: All figures according to contemporary (Christian) chroniclers.
Heretics
Already in 385 C.E. the first Christians, the Spanish Priscillianus and six followers, were beheaded for heresy in Trier/Germany [DO26]
Manichaean heresy: a crypto-Christian sect decent enough to practice birth control (and thus not as irresponsible as faithful Catholics) was exterminated in huge campaigns all over the Roman empire between 372 C.E. and 444 C.E. Numerous thousands of victims. [NC]
Albigensians: the first Crusade intended to slay other Christians. [DO29]
The Albigensians…viewed themselves as good Christians, but would not accept roman Catholic rule, and taxes, and prohibition of birth control. [NC]
Begin of violence: on command of pope Innocent III (greatest single pre-nazi mass murderer) in 1209. Bezirs (today France) 7/22/1209 destroyed, all the inhabitants were slaughtered. Victims (including Catholics refusing to turn over their heretic neighbours and friends) 20,000-70,000. [WW179-181]
Carcassonne 8/15/1209, thousands slain. Other cities followed. [WW181]
subsequent 20 years of war until nearly all Cathars (probably half the population of the Languedoc, today southern France) were exterminated. [WW183]
After the war ended (1229) the Inquisition was founded 1232 to search and destroy surviving/hiding heretics. Last Cathars burned at the stake 1324. [WW183]
Estimated one million victims (cathar heresy alone), [WW183]
Other heresies: Waldensians, Paulikians, Runcarians, Josephites, and many others. Most of these sects exterminated, (I believe some Waldensians live today, yet they had to endure 600 years of persecution) I estimate at least hundred thousand victims (including the Spanish inquisition but excluding victims in the New World).
Spanish Inquisitor Torquemada alone allegedly responsible for 10,220 burnings. [DO28]
John Huss, a critic of papal infallibility and indulgences, was burned at the stake in 1415. [LI475-522]
University professor B.Hubmaier burned at the stake 1538 in Vienna. [DO59]
Giordano Bruno, Dominican monk, after having been incarcerated for seven years, was burned at the stake for heresy on the Campo dei Fiori (Rome) on 2/17/1600.
Witches
from the beginning of Christianity to 1484 probably more than several thousand.
in the era of witch hunting (1484-1750) according to modern scholars several hundred thousand (about 80% female) burned at the stake or hanged. [WV]
incomplete list of documented cases:
The Burning of Witches – A Chronicle of the Burning Times

After murdering him, the Catholic mob mutilated his body, “cutting off his head, his hands, and his genitals… and then dumped him into the river […but] then, deciding that it was not worthy of being food for the fish, they hauled it out again [… and] dragged what was left … to the gallows of Montfaulcon, ‘to be meat and carrion for maggots and crows’.” [SH191]
17th century: Catholics sack the city of Magdeburg/Germany: roughly 30,000 Protestants were slain. “In a single church fifty women were found beheaded,” reported poet Friedrich Schiller, “and infants still sucking the breasts of their lifeless mothers.” [SH191]

Already in the 4th and 5th centuries synagogues were burned by Christians. Number of Jews slain unknown.
In the middle of the fourth century the first synagogue was destroyed on command of bishop Innocentius of Dertona in Northern Italy. The first synagogue known to have been burned down was near the river Euphrat, on command of the bishop of Kallinikon in the year 388. [DA450]

1648 Chmielnitzki massacres: In Poland about 200,000 Jews were slain. [DO43]
(I feel sick …) this goes on and on, century after century, right into the kilns of Auschwitz.
Native Peoples
Beginning with Columbus (a former slave trader and would-be Holy Crusader) the conquest of the New World began, as usual understood as a means to propagate Christianity.
Within hours of landfall on the first inhabited island he encountered in the Caribbean, Columbus seized and carried off six native people who, he said, “ought to be good servants … [and] would easily be made Christians, because it seemed to me that they belonged to no religion.” [SH200]
While Columbus described the Indians as “idolators” and “slaves, as many as [the Crown] shall order,” his pal Michele de Cuneo, Italian nobleman, referred to the natives as “beasts” because “they eat when they are hungry,” and made love “openly whenever they feel like it.” [SH204-205]
On every island he set foot on, Columbus planted a cross, “making the declarations that are required” – the requerimiento – to claim the ownership for his Catholic patrons in Spain. And “nobody objected.” If the Indians refused or delayed their acceptance (or understanding), the requerimiento continued:
I certify to you that, with the help of God, we shall powerfully enter in your country and shall make war against you … and shall subject you to the yoke and obedience of the Church … and shall do you all mischief that we can, as to vassals who do not obey and refuse to receive their lord and resist and contradict him.” [SH66]
Likewise in the words of John Winthrop, first governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony: “justifieinge the undertakeres of the intended Plantation in New England … to carry the Gospell into those parts of the world, … and to raise a Bulworke against the kingdome of the Ante-Christ.” [SH235]
In average two thirds of the native population were killed by colonist-imported smallpox before violence began. This was a great sign of “the marvelous goodness and providence of God” to the Christians of course, e.g. the Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony wrote in 1634, as “for the natives, they are near all dead of the smallpox, so as the Lord hath cleared our title to what we possess.” [SH109,238]
On Hispaniola alone, on Columbus visits, the native population (Arawak), a rather harmless and happy people living on an island of abundant natural resources, a literal paradise, soon mourned 50,000 dead. [SH204]
The surviving Indians fell victim to rape, murder, enslavement and spanish raids.
As one of the culprits wrote: “So many Indians died that they could not be counted, all through the land the Indians lay dead everywhere. The stench was very great and pestiferous.” [SH69]
The indian chief Hatuey fled with his people but was captured and burned alive. As “they were tying him to the stake a Franciscan friar urged him to take Jesus to his heart so that his soul might go to heaven, rather than descend into hell. Hatuey replied that if heaven was where the Christians went, he would rather go to hell.” [SH70]
What happened to his people was described by an eyewitness:
“The Spaniards found pleasure in inventing all kinds of odd cruelties … They built a long gibbet, long enough for the toes to touch the ground to prevent strangling, and hanged thirteen [natives] at a time in honor of Christ Our Saviour and the twelve Apostles… then, straw was wrapped around their torn bodies and they were burned alive.” [SH72]
Or, on another occasion:
“The Spaniards cut off the arm of one, the leg or hip of another, and from some their heads at one stroke, like butchers cutting up beef and mutton for market. Six hundred, including the cacique, were thus slain like brute beasts…Vasco [de Balboa] ordered forty of them to be torn to pieces by dogs.” [SH83]
The “island’s population of about eight million people at the time of Columbus’s arrival in 1492 already had declined by a third to a half before the year 1496 was out.” Eventually all the island’s natives were exterminated, so the Spaniards were “forced” to import slaves from other caribbean islands, who soon suffered the same fate. Thus “the Caribbean’s millions of native people [were] thereby effectively liquidated in barely a quarter of a century”. [SH72-73] “In less than the normal lifetime of a single human being, an entire culture of millions of people, thousands of years resident in their homeland, had been exterminated.” [SH75]
“And then the Spanish turned their attention to the mainland of Mexico and Central America. The slaughter had barely begun. The exquisite city of Tenochtitln [Mexico city] was next.” [SH75]
Cortez, Pizarro, De Soto and hundreds of other spanish conquistadors likewise sacked southern and mesoamerican civilizations in the name of Christ (De Soto also sacked Florida).
“When the 16th century ended, some 200,000 Spaniards had moved to the Americas. By that time probably more than 60,000,000 natives were dead.” [SH95]
Of course no different were the founders of what today is the US of Amerikkka.
Although none of the settlers would have survived winter without native help, they soon set out to expel and exterminate the Indians. Warfare among (north American) Indians was rather harmless, in comparison to European standards, and was meant to avenge insults rather than conquer land. In the words of some of the pilgrim fathers: “Their Warres are farre less bloudy…”, so that there usually was “no great slawter of nether side”. Indeed, “they might fight seven yeares and not kill seven men.” What is more, the Indians usually spared women and children. [SH111]
In the spring of 1612 some English colonists found life among the (generally friendly and generous) natives attractive enough to leave Jamestown – “being idell … did runne away unto the Indyans,” – to live among them (that probably solved a sex problem).
“Governor Thomas Dale had them hunted down and executed: ‘Some he apointed (sic) to be hanged Some burned Some to be broken upon wheles, others to be staked and some shott to deathe’.” [SH105] Of course these elegant measures were restricted for fellow englishmen: “This was the treatment for those who wished to act like Indians. For those who had no choice in the matter, because they were the native people of Virginia” methods were different: “when an Indian was accused by an Englishman of stealing a cup and failing to return it, the English response was to attack the natives in force, burning the entire community” down. [SH105]
On the territory that is now Massachusetts the founding fathers of the colonies were committing genocide, in what has become known as the “Peqout War”. The killers were New England Puritan Christians, refugees from persecution in their own home country England.
When however, a dead colonist was found, apparently killed by Narragansett Indians, the Puritan colonists wanted revenge. Despite the Indian chief’s pledge they attacked.
Somehow they seem to have lost the idea of what they were after, because when they were greeted by Pequot Indians (long-time foes of the Narragansetts) the troops nevertheless made war on the Pequots and burned their villages.
The puritan commander-in-charge John Mason after one massacre wrote: “And indeed such a dreadful Terror did the Almighty let fall upon their Spirits, that they would fly from us and run into the very Flames, where many of them perished … God was above them, who laughed his Enemies and the Enemies of his People to Scorn, making them as a fiery Oven … Thus did the Lord judge among the Heathen, filling the Place with dead Bodies”: men, women, children. [SH113-114]
So “the Lord was pleased to smite our Enemies in the hinder Parts, and to give us their land for an inheritance”. [SH111].
Because of his readers’ assumed knowledge of Deuteronomy, there was no need for Mason to quote the words that immediately follow:
“Thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth. But thou shalt utterly destroy them…” (Deut 20)
Mason’s comrade Underhill recalled how “great and doleful was the bloody sight to the view of the young soldiers” yet reassured his readers that “sometimes the Scripture declareth women and children must perish with their parents”. [SH114]
Other Indians were killed in successful plots of poisoning. The colonists even had dogs especially trained to kill Indians and to devour children from their mothers breasts, in the colonists’ own words: “blood Hounds to draw after them, and Mastives to seaze them.” (This was inspired by spanish methods of the time)
In this way they continued until the extermination of the Pequots was near. [SH107-119]
The surviving handful of Indians “were parceled out to live in servitude. John Endicott and his pastor wrote to the governor asking for ‘a share’ of the captives, specifically ‘a young woman or girle and a boy if you thinke good’.” [SH115]
Other tribes were to follow the same path.
Comment the Christian exterminators: “God’s Will, which will at last give us cause to say: How Great is His Goodness! and How Great is his Beauty!”
“Thus doth the Lord Jesus make them to bow before him, and to lick the Dust!” [TA]
Like today, lying was OK to Christians then. “Peace treaties were signed with every intention to violate them: when the Indians ‘grow secure uppon (sic) the treatie’, advised the Council of State in Virginia, ‘we shall have the better Advantage both to surprise them, & cutt downe theire Corne’.” [SH106]
In 1624 sixty heavily armed Englishmen cut down 800 defenseless Indian men, women and children. [SH107]
In a single massacre in “King Philip’s War” of 1675 and 1676 some “600 Indians were destroyed. A delighted Cotton Mather, revered pastor of the Second Church in Boston, later referred to the slaughter as a ‘barbeque’.” [SH115]
To summarize: Before the arrival of the English, the western Abenaki people in New Hampshire and Vermont had numbered 12,000. Less than half a century later about 250 remained alive – a destruction rate of 98%. The Pocumtuck people had numbered more than 18,000, fifty years later they were down to 920 – 95% destroyed. The Quiripi-Unquachog people had numbered about 30,000, fifty years later they were down to 1500 – 95% destroyed. The Massachusetts people had numbered at least 44,000, fifty years later barely 6000 were alive – 81% destroyed. [SH118] These are only a few examples of the multitude of tribes living before Christian colonists set their foot on the New World. All this was before the smallpox epidemics of 1677 and 1678 had occurred. And the carnage was not over then.
All the above was only the beginning of the European colonization, it was before the frontier age actually had begun.
A total of maybe more than 150 million Indians (of both Americas) were destroyed in the period of 1500 to 1900, as an average two thirds by smallpox and other epidemics, that leaves some 50 million killed directly by violence, bad treatment and slavery.
In many countries, such as Brazil, and Guatemala, this continues even today.
More Glorious events in US history
Reverend Solomon Stoddard, one of New England’s most esteemed religious leaders, in “1703 formally proposed to the Massachusetts Governor that the colonists be given the financial wherewithal to purchase and train large packs of dogs ‘to hunt Indians as they do bears’.” [SH241]
Massacre of Sand Creek, Colorado 11/29/1864. Colonel John Chivington, a former Methodist minister and still elder in the church (“I long to be wading in gore”) had a Cheyenne village of about 600, mostly women and children, gunned down despite the chiefs’ waving with a white flag: 400-500 killed.
From an eye-witness account: “There were some thirty or forty squaws collected in a hole for protection; they sent out a little girl about six years old with a white flag on a stick; she had not proceeded but a few steps when she was shot and killed. All the squaws in that hole were afterwards killed …” [SH131]
More gory details.
By the 1860s, “in Hawai’i the Reverend Rufus Anderson surveyed the carnage that by then had reduced those islands’ native population by 90 percent or more, and he declined to see it as tragedy; the expected total die-off of the Hawaiian population was only natural, this missionary said, somewhat equivalent to ‘the amputation of diseased members of the body’.” [SH244]
20th Century Church Atrocities
Catholic extermination camps
Surpisingly few know that Nazi extermination camps in World War II were by no means the only ones in Europe at the time. In the years 1942-1943 also in Croatia existed numerous extermination camps, run by Catholic Ustasha under their dictator Ante Paveli, a practising Catholic and regular visitor to the then pope. There were even concentration camps exclusively for children!
In these camps – the most notorious was Jasenovac, headed by a Franciscan friar – orthodox-Christian serbians (and a substantial number of Jews) were murdered. Like the Nazis the Catholic Ustasha burned their victims in kilns, alive (the Nazis were decent enough to have their victims gassed first). But most of the victims were simply stabbed, slain or shot to death, the number of them being estimated between 300,000 and 600,000, in a rather tiny country. Many of the killers were Franciscan friars. The atrocities were appalling enough to induce bystanders of the Nazi “Sicherheitsdient der SS”, watching, to complain about them to Hitler (who did not listen). The pope knew about these events and did nothing to prevent them. [MV]
Catholic terror in Vietnam
In 1954 Vietnamese freedom fighters – the Viet Minh – had finally defeated the French colonial government in North Vietnam, which by then had been supported by U.S. funds amounting to more than $2 billion. Although the victorious assured religious freedom to all (most non-buddhist Vietnamese were Catholics), due to huge anticommunist propaganda campaigns many Catholics fled to the South. With the help of Catholic lobbies in Washington and Cardinal Spellman, the Vatican’s spokesman in U.S. politics, who later on would call the U.S. forces in Vietnam “Soldiers of Christ”, a scheme was concocted to prevent democratic elections which could have brought the communist Viet Minh to power in the South as well, and the fanatic Catholic Ngo Dinh Diem was made president of South Vietnam. [MW16ff]
Diem saw to it that U.S. aid, food, technical and general assistance was given to Catholics alone, Buddhist individuals and villages were ignored or had to pay for the food aids which were given to Catholics for free. The only religious denomination to be supported was Roman Catholicism.
The Vietnamese McCarthyism turned even more vicious than its American counterpart. By 1956 Diem promulgated a presidential order which read:
“Individuals considered dangerous to the national defense and common security may be confined by executive order, to a concentration camp.”
Supposedly to fight communism, thousands of buddhist protesters and monks were imprisoned in “detention camps.” Out of protest dozens of buddhist teachers – male and female – and monks poured gasoline over themselves and burned themselves. (Note that Buddhists burned themselves: in comparison Christians tend to burn others). Meanwhile some of the prison camps, which in the meantime were filled with Protestant and even Catholic protesters as well, had turned into no-nonsense death camps. It is estimated that during this period of terror (1955-1960) at least 24,000 were wounded – mostly in street riots – 80,000 people were executed, 275,000 had been detained or tortured, and about 500,000 were sent to concentration or detention camps. [MW76-89].
To support this kind of government in the next decade thousands of American GI’s lost their life….
Rwanda Massacres
In 1994 in the small african country of Rwanda in just a few months several hundred thousand civilians were butchered, apparently a conflict of the Hutu and Tutsi ethnic groups.
For quite some time I heard only rumours about Catholic clergy actively involved in the 1994 Rwanda massacres. Odd denials of involvement were printed in Catholic church journals, before even anybody had openly accused members of the church.
Then, 10/10/96, in the newscast of S2 Aktuell, Germany – a station not at all critical to Christianity – the following was stated:
“Anglican as well as Catholic priests and nuns are suspect of having actively participated in murders. Especially the conduct of a certain Catholic priest has been occupying the public mind in Rwanda’s capital Kigali for months. He was minister of the church of the Holy Family and allegedly murdered Tutsis in the most brutal manner. He is reported to have accompanied marauding Hutu militia with a gun in his cowl. In fact there has been a bloody slaughter of Tutsis seeking shelter in his parish. Even two years after the massacres many Catholics refuse to set foot on the threshold of their church, because to them the participation of a certain part of the clergy in the slaughter is well established. There is almost no church in Rwanda that has not seen refugees – women, children, old – being brutally butchered facing the crucifix.
According to eyewitnesses clergymen gave away hiding Tutsis and turned them over to the machetes of the Hutu militia.
In connection with these events again and again two Benedictine nuns are mentioned, both of whom have fled into a Belgian monastery in the meantime to avoid prosecution. According to survivors one of them called the Hutu killers and led them to several thousand people who had sought shelter in her monastery. By force the doomed were driven out of the churchyard and were murdered in the presence of the nun right in front of the gate. The other one is also reported to have directly cooperated with the murderers of the Hutu militia. In her case again witnesses report that she watched the slaughtering of people in cold blood and without showing response. She is even accused of having procured some petrol used by the killers to set on fire and burn their victims alive…” [S2]
As can be seen from these events, to Christianity the Dark Ages never come to an end….

Very well said! Thank you for laying it all out for the sheeples!
Islam has killed 270 million people or more so far:

Read the comments that follows that article.
You have to remember it is not a religion, it is a theocracy, a virus to ingest and become the government wherever it finds itself. it should be banned where ever it is found for the violations to women, and other actual religions.
This is my point exactly… In the name of “GOD” how many people have lost their lives!!! I don’t care what religion it is they ALL have there bad sides!!! This is why its flawed! NO one should believe in something they can’t See, Feel, or Hear! Just feels like people use it as an excuse, something to blame, IF you want something to believe in …. BELIEVE in yourself… BELIEVE in your family… BELIEVE in friends… support them as you can See, Feel and Here them in your life every day! Why would you waste your time to believe in something that really is not here! It’s not just religion most governments are corrupt too! Just people with power wanting more power.!
Islam is an evil, genocidal disease that must be exterminated. Islam = racism.
FREE JUDEA AND SAMARIA FROM ILLEGAL ARAB OCCUPATION!
Islam is an evil and genocidal religion that must be exterminated. Islam = racism. FREE JUDEA AND SAMARIA FROM ILLEGAL ARAB OCCUPATION! The so-called “Palestinians” are illegal colonist-settlers from Arabia illegally occupying the Jewish homeland.
Yeah yeah, Palestinians who lived there for centuries are occupiers and colonists while Jews from eastern Europe who never set their foot in the Palestine or have any connection to the land, are the “real palestinians”. Nice fairy tale. Beside, muslims never had any problems with jews before they start stealing palestinian land and terrorising them.
they’ve banned all other religion in saudi, no one seems to care 😀
All islamic states in the world should cut diplomatic ties with Angola. Withdraw their Ambassadors and expell all Angolan diplomats from all Islamic states. Even in Rome and Israel, islam is practised so why not in Angola?
Islam is not the problem, it’s mankind self that’s the problem. I don’t give a damn about religions, and don’t care who beliefs in who/what is it Allah, God, Jahweh, Odin, Boedha, Ra, Toutatis, Krishna, … Religion is (should be) a personal choice, as i’m not into Relgion is a personal choice. No place on this planet is perfect place to be. It’s sad to see people in the south/east goes from the one dictator to the other. There are enough examples in the history that war – terrorism – slavery – disrespect women – disrespect holibi’s are wrong, mankind is stupid and will never change.
As usual, there is A LOT of racism….let’s get one thing out of the way: i am christian. Yes do have some problems in the muslim world. But you do realize that you are mixing local cultures with Islam? no? well read the Quran…There is not more violence in the Quran, than the bible…true muslims (that some of friends are) does NOT have nor practice a violent religion. So what’s left? For racists there is not a lot left..but for people without any knowledge: Please read and make up your mind, don’t go along with the hype….
if you think i am writing bullshit..then tell: Why hasn’t ANY western country helped the poor people who are beeing killed by IS? Because you do know that 90% of the victims are muslims right?
So no, Angola is just going backwards. Penalize the criminals not a group…disaster..instead of beeing the one of few countries in Africa to go forward they CHOOSE to go backwards..well…good luck…
Religious conflict is not a new deal but the old one. Christians and Muslims are old enemies friends after long period of crusades and wars even though they are Abrahamic religions. In one of the conferences we had my advice was and is live Muslims share what is there believe and let Christians interact with them in a practical ways to prove what is true and what about salvation is. Nigerians experience and others in the world should be the one of Christians strongest believe which seed would change the history of both religions. God is right we have to let Him to deals with this issue by the wisdom of his chosen leaders in the inter religious dialogue Christian Muslim. God bless you.
Muslims love to fuck goats, camels, sisters, mothers and sons. This heinous bunch of perverts who follow a peaodofile prophet and false god are the vermin of society. May Allah kill all muslims as soon as possible?
Blasphemer, you must enjoy those things at home and want to project your personality on others, I can remove your comment but I wanna see how others will respond to your non-sense.
quran 4:88
Sahih International
“What is [the matter] with you [that you are] two groups(sunni and shiia) concerning the hypocrites(a third muslim sect), while (the Qwarish-Meccan deity)Allah has made them fall back [into error and disbelief] for what they earned. Do you wish to guide those whom (the Qwarish-Meccan deity)Allah has sent astray? And he whom (the Qwarish-Meccan deity)Allah sends astray – never will you find for him a way [of guidance].”
“(the Qwarish-Meccan deity)Allah has sent astray?”
So, the Qwarish-Meccan deity is so guilty of the astrayed muslim(indoctrinated) killing-warring for 1400 years .
quran 6:65
Sahih International
“Say, “He(the Qwarish-Meccan deity) is the [one] Able to send upon you affliction from above you or from beneath your feet or to confuse you [so you become] (72 muslim)sects and make you taste the violence of one another.” Look how We(the Qwarish-Meccan deity) diversify the signs that they might understand.”
So, the Qwarish-Meccan deity is guilty of the muslim Umma affliction because the Qwarish-Meccan deity has confuse you(indoctrinate muslim) to become many muslim sects, because the will of the Qwarish-Meccan deity is that you taste the violence.
Besides, and most revealing is that the Qwarish-Meccan deity it is NOT a single god, the Qwarish-Meccan deity are MANY entities as “We(the Qwarish-Meccan deity) diversify the signs that they might understand.”
—
sunni do not regard other muslim-sects as muslim
and other muslim-sects do not regard sunni as muslim
and other muslim-sects do not regard other muslim-sects as muslim
all this mess thanks to the Meccan deity
all muslims are sent astray by their own deity
to kill each other
meanwhile (the Qwarish-Meccan deity)al-lah is gonna be lookig for the true sect that follows the rules of the LAW OF DESERT(sharia)
quran 4:88

What is [the matter] with you [that you are] two groups concerning the hypocrites, while (the Qwarish-Meccan deity)Allah has made them fall back [into error and disbelief] for what they earned.

You really have nooo idea whats going on! lol, ask a scholar about this please!
As a european, I wish Europe will follow the example of Angola. You like it or not, we live in the age of islamic terrorism, where hundreds of thousands of people joined terrorist organizations and kill every day in the name of their sick religion. Islam is a cancer, a cancer that destroyed the Middle East and it is has now started destroying Africa. I don’t want the same to happen in Europe.
Not sure if this is totally accurate but it’s not secret that Christianity is illegal in the majority of islamic states, so what’s the difference?
Well… All religions expect Islam are banned in Saudi Arabia… and no one sees that as wrong!!
That’s because everyone seems to be catering to these animals out of fear of stepping outside of the PC forum.
Let’s get one thing straight regarding that sand flea holding the sign, EVERYONE is the enemy of Islam. Those animals do not have the capacity to get along with anyone. Bless the people of Angola. Hopefully other Nations will smarten up and follow their lead. The only good muslim is a dead one. Crush them all, take no enemies, destroy every last trace of their civilization.
There are two good kinds of muslims. The ones vaporized in bomb blasts and the ones laying dead on the battlefield.
