Polish Islam
Polish Muslims might soon have their own mosque in Warsaw. Tomasz Miśkiewicz, a Mufti points out that Islam is the only great religion whose believers do not have a decent place of worship in the Polish capital. It all started with an announcement made on the Gazeta.pl forum: “The Polish Islamic Council announced that all construction permits necessary for building a mosque have been obtained. The minarets will be 25 metres tall and there will be an 102dB amplifier for the muezzin. The sponsor of this initiative is the same Islamic sheik who paid for the famous operation to separate the Polish Siamese sisters. Consequently, if somebody opposes the construction of this monumental temple, they will also be opposing this benefactor,” according to Uzman, a forum contributor.
A fierce discussion followed. “This is not part of European culture,” writes Ania. A different opinion was presented by Ritzy who claimed that if there was a large number of Muslims in Warsaw then they should have their own place of worship. According to Miśkiewicz there are about 7,000 Muslims in Warsaw and the surrounding suburbs but there are not enough mosques. The one on Wiertnicza Street is bursting at the seams therefore a new mosque is to be built in the Ochota district of the capital, near the Skra stadium. There will be a cultural centre inside the mosque supporting dialogue between various religions. Currently, there are only three mosques in Poland.

I am very happy and also wish dawat amal perish in this mosque. and Allah give hidayat to all in the world.
use it well
Great news! Islamic architecture is very pleasing for the eye with all the curves and mosaics. Hope that non-Muslims will be allowed to enter.
Is that a touch or irony I hear…
Nope, not this time
I am still under great impression of things I saw in Granada. Magnificent craftsmanship! Mosaics based on advanced mathematics is also quite impressive when you think about the time when the whole thing was built. And I have never been to a mosque before, so I hope I can change that without lots of travels!
WOW….SO HAPPY to hear that…. Maciej Mamiński- I don’t think it is forbidden in mosques for non muslims to enter…. I am sure that in the mosque at wiertnicza street in warsaw u are allways free and welcome to visit and talk about anything ….mainly islam ofcourse…
I am very happy to know that, finally polish muslims will have a mosque. Alhamdulillah.
Subhanallah…
its so beautiful
In mid 80′s I met a polish Muslim in a mosque in Toronto, Canada. He was visiting Canada. I was surprised to hear that there are Muslims in Poland. And therefore I tried my best to find a Quran in Polish as a present for him. Alas I could not find one in Canada. And soon he was gone.
As I understand these people are ethnic tartars, is it correct?
With best wishes to Polish people from Canada, where I have many Polish friends.
They are Tartars, that’s correct.
Many thanks for the message.
