I don't think thare are any in Krakow.

I think there is one in Gdansk and few in the north where our Tatar community lives.

Poland is a Catholic country, why do you think there would be mosques there?

Hmmm......I think some people would get mad over a mosque in Krakow. Not me, I'm open to it, but people get used to things the way they are

I think you mean "in-shallah"

Judging by the anti-jewish graffiti on the Krakow synagogues, opening a mosque would probably not be a clever move.

judging by some comments on this discussion, you're probably right..

but to put most of your minds at ease... a mosque in krakow is a LONG way off... theres just not enough population to justify one. (this is in stark contrast to other cities.. eg warsaw has 6 mosques.. poznan has 3)

right now they use a makeshift room 10miles outside the city to pray on fridays..

6 mosques in Poland?! Things are looking grim... The only good thing about a crescent moon, is when it wanes.

There are only 4 active mosques in Poland, three in traditional architecture in Bohoniki, Kruszyniany and Gdańsk, and one located in a villa in Warsaw.

So, any new info about a mosque in Krakow?

Yes! There is a GIGANTIC mosque to the north of Poland! It is called "Al-Baltic Sea!" Just jump into "Al-Baltic Sea" and keep swimming downward. You will find the wonderful mosque--Poland's best-kept-secret!

Tatars?

To put this into perspective... I live in a town which probably has at least 30!

Racist people in Poland among the youth are a minority( I am not speaking about holigans) i actually have some Polish friends who are engaged to Muslim people.( among the older people that 's another story).

But there are simply not enough muslims who would go the Mosque in Krakow to built one, and what's more who would pay for the construction etc ?

There must be plenty of students plus perhaps a consular presence.

I live near the mosque in Warsaw and it seems quite busy.

As for paying, I think there are often contributions from abroad, charitable foundations etc.

Jonni,

Could you tell me a little bit more about yourself? Do you live in Warsaw? Are you a foreign student, or a native pole? I know someone that is a UK student in Warsaw. Could you tell me where the mosque is located, in terms of street name, as my friend is on th way to that mosque this very minute! L

I would really appreciate it, as it would give me a visual perspective on where and how my friend is living these days.

Thank you

Warszawa

Hi!

I live in Warsaw and I'm neither a foreign student nor a Pole.

The mosque is in Sadyba, on ul. Wiertnicza, quite near where I was living when I wrote the post. I used to see the people going ther on Friday.

Here are three links to photos I found on the web:

I hope that's useful :-)

The Polish police would have a thing or two to say about mosques popping up. I'm sorry to say it but I could easily foresee riots and mass protests. When you start off down a road, it gathers a momentum of its own and Poland doesn't want a Balkan-type situation on their doorstep.

I am a little PC on occasion but I was appalled to see how some Serbian families in Kosovo were treated when they welcomed Albanians in. Sorry, Hamburg is the place for mosques, not here.

Because some people have done wrong, shall we blame the whole community for it?

Seanus... is it the right way forward. You are an educated person, to what detail shall I explain you?

Why dont you visit the off topics section and read a thread there and tell me what you think about it? I would be interested to know.

I don't think if anyone buid a mosque they won't make it without an official permission.

There is not much muslims in Poland. So I guess there are few mosques and it will stay like this. But to be honest I couldn't understand your perspective here.

As I said above, if there are even a small society what is wrong to have a mosque in a city. I am sure there are requirements in polish law to build one. And more can be built if the authorities think this requirements are met.

Mephias, I was trying to see it from the Polish perspective. In relative terms, they aren't the most tolerant in a religious sense. Avoidance is often the best option. I wouldn't want to see the day where any desecration took place and I believe that it would if more and more mosques started popping up.

Islam doesn't need more enemies based on misunderstandings. In principle, I have nothing against Muslims having options for prayer, that should be clear. I just fear that it would be a step for the worse in a relationships sense.
