There are some ill practices in Judaism too, as well as some really backward ideas. One of them being men being thankful they weren't created a woman. In any case, a right is a right, and that includes the right to delude yourself. Banning Islam is not the way to go. Instead of outlawing Islam (because I'm sure they wouldn't like rights taken away) ban some traditions or ideas from the Qur'an that might conflict with that countries laws.

Will the world condemn this as a human rights violation, or is it going to be seen as Angolans protecting their culture?

Most of this has to do with their inability to be apart of the society. This is why they will not integrate. I am against multiculturalism, you cannot 'assimilate' into a society that is multicultural. They can have their religion because that is personal choice not mandated. Not to mention they refuse to marry Europeans or be apart of that society. This presents an issue there. How can a Turk transform into a Frenchman? Well the first generation wont very well but the second and third wouldn't have an issue with it because they are born into that environment and would be absorbed culturally/biologically speaking. However mass immigration creates racism in every environment so its better to not have a large billion size immigrant population. The Jews in earlier times were such a group and did not always integrate so well because they kept o themselves many of them [not all]. Now they were not always the biggest trouble makers but some of them like Karl Marx were a problem with their proposals.

If I moved to Saudi Arabia I would have to integrate to that society and assimilate. Not that I would want to but pretty darn quick I would have to know Arabic, Islam, and their nations laws etc.... To survive there would be very difficult for me I would bet.

Interestingly this seems to be the only valid reason for a modern jihad in the defence of Muslims being persecuted. Btw, Muslims make up 0.5% of the Angolan population.

they even live in Alaska my friend tells me. I wonder how radical Islam would adapt to Eskimos should it ever occur. Native Americans dispatched radical Christians in America with no problem. Not to mention they are the only group many people rely on to survive in Alaska. [natives]

Islam is the lesser evil compared to what Africans in the bush do.

Angola has always been my favorite African country. Now I definitely have to visit.

I like this, but what I wonder about is what is the status of Hinduism in the country. I'm sure Hinduism could mesh well with Angolan indigenous beliefs (as it did in Bali, the Caribbean, Southeast Asia and other places), but the government might deem it contrary to Angolan culture if the Angolan government views itself as overtly Catholic (on account of it being a former Portuguese colony.)

Islam, as the most extreme expression of Abrahamic intolerance, naturally is against other religions. They have historically prosecuted polytheists with death, and even while they consider Jews and Christians as People of the Book, they levy against them the discriminatory Jizya tax.
