Life / Question: A black girl wants to visit Poland, she wears burka [13]

thank u Krzysztof for that, i will forward her that number.
Well it seems she would be ok, as long as her clothing doesnt stand out too much and perhaps she just avoid going out alone at times where things are tense. There are very subtle burkas, like the way many European women wear, i have seen some of the older ladies in my family wear this little scarf etc in Poland. I dont think anybody lol hassles them!

yes she wears a head scarf. I didnt want to write muslim as wanted to avoid as much as i could bringing religon into it, due to past posts, people wrote very offensive things and started debates. I just want to stick to the topic this time. thanks

Life / Question: A black girl wants to visit Poland, she wears burka [13]

Hi everyone.

PLEASE no offensive comments or racism

I received an enquiry from someone, a black (African) girl who wears scarf wishes to visit Poland (i think to study). She wants to know how she would be treated, would she get alot of racist comments, looks, threats, be in danger?

I guess if she would get treated as such, she would try going to another country. Although i am Polish, i dont live there so hard for me to answer.

Thanks, i am after honest, to the point answers, but please dont go into debates about scarf etc, this is not what i am after, just how in general she would be looked at, and most importantly, would she be in danger (like would she be spat at, or harrassed?)

thanks

ok this is my final post so try to answer everyone question:

1. Honor killings is not allowed in Islam, it is a evil sin to do such thing.

2. If Islam is so bad with women, why is it so many women, espcially western women convert to Islam. And majority i know such as myself do this way before marriage. I know about 5 Polish people who have embraced Islam.

3. Western women can do what they want and for all we care swim naked if they so wish. For myself, i love covering my body, all the spritual benefits as well as environmental that i enjoy. Also many non Muslims say i remind them of Mary, mother of Jesus, which is a nice compliment. ALthough i am not covering for this reason. WHat i mean by covering, is dressing modestly.

4. @Grzegorz: Why dont Muslims open their mind? Why don't you open your mind? Everywhere u go, some people are open minded, some are closed minded. Please dont generalise and say all Muslims. I give you personal example, some older generation Polish people said to me: "you cant be friends with black person or basically non white" type statement. When some met my husband all they did is backbite his skin colour to my mother (OMG he is not white, shock horror). This happened at my own fathers funeral. How can they be so mean and nasty? They said to my grieving mother how can you let your daughter marry a dark person (because his skin is one shade darker than white and is tan). True, i was so appalled i cut of the Polish communithy at that time from my life except my family (i was very young) for a while, but then realised, hang on, just because they said this, a handful of women (who btw, are so pale u can see their blue veins, so i cant understand why pick on someone tan skin), my other cousins are fantastic and skin color would not even occur to them, and one of my male cousins married a lovely Malay girl and is happy. Well not everyone who is Polish is racist , so not every Muslim is close minded or what the media wants u to believe.

5. Yes i have lived in middle east and had a wonderful time. I had the time of my life, the people are nice, everyone was so welcoming to me, and hospitality was fantastic. I found people and culture warm there, not cold and hostile. I really want to live there permanetly but cant as my mother is alone and in Islam i am to look after her and her wellbeing as she is in her older years and we have very little family and i am the only one who cares about her welfare.

Some parts obvioulsy is not safe to go due to war in Iraq, but many places plenty of tourists around, such as Dubai. I have also been to Poland for several months to.

6. IF women gets raped, she does not have to provide 4 witnesses. This is a false and untrue lie. Four witnesses is required for adultry. This is for peoples own protection, so nobody can just go accuse someone if they are innocent.

I came here to respond to the other Polish man who converted. If anyone has any questions, u can contact me via private message.

I leave everyone with the following verse of Quran in English and Polish translation: Just so u can see a verse, no i am not trying to convert anybody, just sharing one verse with you. U dont have to read it.

Surah Al-Fatiha

In the name of God, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds:
The Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful:
Owner of the Day of Judgement.
Thee (alone) we worship; Thee (alone) was ask for help.
Show us the straight path:
The path of those whom Thou hast favoured; Not (the path) of those who earn Thine anger nor of those who go astray.

Polish translation:

1 - Al-Faatýhah

In the name of God, most Gracious, most Merciful:

1. W imie Boga Milosiernego i Litosciwego*!

2. Chwala Bogu, Panu swiatów,

3. Milosiernemu i Litosciwemu,

4. Królowi Dnia Sadu.

5. Oto Ciebie czcimy i Ciebie prosimy o pomoc.

6. Prowadz nas droga prosta

7. droga tych, których obdarzyles dobrodziejstwami; nie zas tych, na których jestes zagniewany, i nie tych, którzy bladza.

I am unable to read Polish, so i hope the translation is accurate as possible to the English one u see.

so elixa tell me if this is true, when muslim women get raped, are they not blamed for it. _Are they sometimes forced to get married to the rapist?

Absoluetly rubbish. If a Muslim women gets raped, they would try to find the rapist and proper legal proceedings would take place. The rapist would get a severe punishment. The women is innocent. They are never forced to marry the rapist. I dont know where u got this from, but whoever said it are wrong and if someone has done this, its is considered a sin, and of bad character. To force someone to marry a rapist is against Islamic teachings.

We do our best to take precautions against rape, however God forbid should it happen, its not the womens fault, and all the Muslims i know would give her support, shelter if needed, conselling, medical help etc. I know there are many uneducated people out there, but that is in many cultures and places around the world.

I dont judge a religon by its people, but rather by its scriptures.

instead of attacking Muslims and Islam, u should be more intelligent and try to have a dialogue. Since i am a Polish Muslim, u could actually try to educate yourself on Islam, except u are unable to open your mind. U know, its good to truely know about what different faiths are about instead of blindly listening to the media, or what others say, such as what is said in church, family, friends etc.

Pity elixa will never wear a bikini again

pity that elixa has good skin, doctors told her she most likely will never get skin cancer as she is very fair, and pity people tell elixa she looks 10 years younger due to her very good skin, and pity that elixa can wear bikini in the privacy of her own swimming pool but not for the exclusive access of the world to see and perve...umm is it really pity? i think we should pity your ignornace.

Hi Dooday

I am also a female Polish convert to Islam. I dont normally like posting much on these forums as to many people are to fast to attack. BTW i also married a Pakistani and ma happily married. I converted way before marriage. I know several Polish converts as well. Please visit my blog: polishmuslim.wordpress.com/

If you have a story on how u came to Islam, can i please have a copy of it, as i am trying to collate stories from Polish converts.

Also for the others who just want to attack and be nasty, please ignore this message as its not intended for you. I love my God, my religon and my life!
