No...That's not all I needed to say. Everything I posted needed to be said.
Black people, especially (but not exclusively) African blacks, need to abandon all religion that isn't native to their lands or tribes.
And yeah...much of the continent is a wreck, but it would've done better had it not been for foreign meddling...including Bible and Quran bearers.
Basically I agree, those three Middle Eastern religions are like cancer, eating up people's minds and hearts.
The world needs a new Enlightenment, shedding all those outdated, alien beliefs.
African beliefs are not really better, though. A lot of them are based on superstition, which can also cause a lot of problems.
Ideally Africans would become atheists, but usually Atheism is closely related to a high level of education.
Angola is a strange country. For many years it has earned a lot of money from oil exports, yet it continues to be the country with the highest infant mortality rate and a lot of health problems (e.g. mental issues) resulting from insufficient nutrition.
There is a lot of corruption, the political elite has piled up huge fortunes. The daughter of the president has billions of dollars and goes around the world buying up companies.

Please. Judaism and Christianity may not be perfect (no religion is), but they're not as backwards and violent as Islam. Christianity used to be, but it reformed. Judaism had issues, but wasn't even as bad as Christianity was.
This is an another attempt by liberals into making light if the damage Islam has done--by trying (unsuccessfully, mind you) to equate it to other religions.
How is Islam a "White man's religion"? It started in Saudi Arabia, which is a brown, West Asian country!
For that matter, Christianity also began in the same part of the world, even if Europeans really adopted and took control of it.
It doesn't really matter what race one thinks Arabs are (usually they are considered white, simply because they are neither black nor Asian). The problem is that it is not an African religion, i.e. alien, imported, etc. Like alien flora and fauna causing problems to native life.

Those three religions are equally backwards and ridiculous. The only difference is that one is a very small religion and the other a rather paganized, diluted religion. That is why they are not as much of a problem. But really, when you take a closer look at some Israeli Jews such as settlers or at some Evangelists, they are just as radical, backwards, and dangerous as their Muslim counterparts.
Angola law requires a religious org to apply for recognition to build a house of worship and/ or school.
The religious org must have a minimum of 100,000 members and a presence in 12/18 provences to be considered.
House of worships and religious school not approved are destroyed.
Actually, Christianity is the fastest growing religion in Africa. Compare African statistics from 1900, when Muslims outnumbered Christians, to 2000, when Christians outnumbered Muslims.
The constitution protects freedom of religion, and I support the constitution. Banning mosques is a bad idea from every angle.

Angola is substantially Catholic.
They have similar rules in some European countries, for instance Germany. It takes a certain minimum number of believers, else the belief is not considered an official religion, with all the consequences in terms of taxes etc.

So are Native Americans and Latinos also White, since they're neither Black or Asian? What ridiculousness. I don't know anyone who considers Middle Easterners as "White". Most either think they're Asian or their own race.
And no, those religions are not equally backwards and ridiculous. As I said, in the old days, Christianity was barbaric like Islam, sure, but it's changed. The real reason why those two religions had/have such issues is because they used invasion and fear-mongering ("join us or die", "if you're not one of us, you're going to hell") to get members. Judaism doesn't focus on Hell, or the afterlife, nearly as much, and doesn't proselytize.
And settlers? LOL yes, some of the Jews have beliefs that I vehemently disagree with. The big difference is that they don't go murdering people because they aren't Jewish. Heck, even the Evangelists who don't really care for Jews, gays, etc don't go around beheading people or burning them alive. Your argument is a complete failure. Stop being PC and just admit that while no religion is perfect, it's clear that Islam is the worst among all 5 major faiths, let alone the other 2 Abrahamic faiths.
West Africa was actually pretty sophisticated before the foreigners came, just think of the NOK civilization...
