MOSQUE BUILDING PROTESTED

Poland, dozens of protesters demonstrated in Poland against the construction of a mosque. Some 150 people protested at the half-finished building site, a 30-minute drive from the city centre, where the Muslim League, a religious organisation established in Poland in 2004 is building what will be only the country’s fifth mosque with government permission. A telephone survey conducted on March 25 among 500 Poles showed 48 percent opposed construction of a mosque with a minaret in their neighbourhood, while 42 had nothing against it.
