Islamophobia in Poland

  • ... that the historic wooden Kruszyniany Mosque (pictured) was attacked during a wave of attacks on mosques in Poland? source: Journal article in Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, quote: What started as protests against one mosque construction quickly transformed into an unprecedented surge in attacks on mosques across Poland in the cities of Gdańsk, Poznań and Białystok. Yet perhaps the most devastating – not in scale but in symbolism – was the 2014 attack on the seventeenth-century Tatar mosque in Kruszyniany. A pig was drawn on the outside wall of the green wooden mosque and abusive graffiti was sprayed on the graves of the adjacent Muslim cemetery. The Tatars, having lived in Poland for several hundred years without experiencing hostility, were deeply affected by this unprecedented rise in Islamophobic attacks. This incident showed that, in the context of an unprecedented rise in Islamophobia, all Muslims are targeted through attacks on their places of worship, whether they have lived in Poland for centuries or just a few years.

  • Comment: The present article contains 1331 B of prose copied from Racism in Poland (to be precise - copied from a version prior to the removal of Islamophobia from the racism article (one the basis that "Islamophobia does not qualify as racism") - The present article 14KB of prose - so quite a bit over this.

  • The article is long enough and nominated timely. It is neutral and well cited with no copyvios found. The hook is interesting and sourced; I prefer the original hook over ALT1. The image is relevant and appears to have proper status. QPQ was done. I see no problems and the nomination is good to go. -- MelanieN (talk) 14:55, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
