Rafal_1981: Poland have no problem with Turks or with the Muslims
That must be why muslims in Poland are asking for respect from the polish people?
Wider access to the mass media would certainly augment Poles' knowledge about this little-known community, but getting to the media seems to be more difficult than building a mosque. The Polish state did not hear pleas for greater funding for celebrations of the 600th anniversary of the Tartars' settlement in Poland (possibly because most Poles associate the arrival of the Tartars with their preceding scorched-earth invasions). Selim Chazbijewicz's idea of guaranteeing Tartars one seat in the Sejm seems totally unrealistic in this context.
"Islam is alien to Poles," says Abdulwahab Bouali. "People are still baffled when they see a Muslim woman on the bus. But a few more years and it will be like in France or Germany; normal, that is." Less misunderstanding and more respect is what Polish Muslims need—whether they have been here for centuries or just years.

Or if you want
As if that was not enough, the Polish people, in general, have a very dim view of Islam and Muslims, mainly due to the anti-Islam propaganda that has been feeding their minds. At the same time there are no Islamic books that are written in the local languages that would give them at least an adequate understanding about this religion. Even the few books on Islam that are available in the market have been written by non-Muslims.
