‘Witaj Szkoło!’ Welcome to school! Every child in Poland is greeted by this sentence in early September when school commences after the summer holidays. Although religious education is not compulsory in Poland, a vast majority of school children attend classes of religion, usually run by a Catholic priest/nun (sometimes, if enough parents/students request it, lessons of ethics are taught). Muslim pupils usually aren’t as lucky as the kids in Białystok, where the local Muslim Religious Association in co-operation with Białystok’s education board and the Muftiate office organises Islam classes. The children who attend are a mix of Polish and Crimean Tatars and Chechen refugees. Pictured is Mirza, a local imam, who is leading a prayer class to a mixed group of boys and girls.

The European Muslims Role and Responsibility – Mahathir Muhammad

Firstly I would like to say how glad I am to meet and speak to European Muslims. You and I know that Islam is not the religion of the majority of the Europeans.

My Friend is a White Muslim

Frank was a teenager growing up in a divorced family and became a chap who derives meaning to his existence from Islam. In my conversation with him, what appears to be a journey of moral uplift through religion, driven by his desire for a community with a greater sense of togetherness, turns out to also be a critique of the[Read More…]
