mosques to be closed down .
Minister of culture Rosa Cruz e Silva said that mosques in the largely Christian
country would be closed until further notice.

customs and culture.

destroyed, according to the International Business Times .
President Jose Edurado dos Santos reportedly told the Osun Defence daily: ‘ This is
the final end of Islamic influence in our country . ’

population of 19 million, 194 other ‘sects ’ have been banned in the nation, where
more than half the population is Christian.
