Work / How To Study In Poland and stay with my GF? Inability to move to Poland looks stupid. [60]


Sadly, perfectly normal in Poland.

It borders on ignorant.....I've learned to live with it.


Give your head a jolly good shake lad.

You haven't even met her and you "fell in love" without even having met her in the flesh and now you're talking about marrying her???

God give me bloody strength!!


Why are you on this forum?

Why didn't you stay in India and study there and then get a job and develop your own country?

I looks like it needs some help.......And perhaps whilst you are busy throwing your insults at the UK you should look closer to home .....IDIOT!!!!

Travel / Mosques in Krakow? [131]


Nope, but the Islamic view is that Islam is the only faith and


Read the thread in its entirety. Don't cherry pick the bits you want to read to support your riposte.

I chose Saudi Arabia as one example. I later gave Qatar as another example as a country that gave a tiny concession to Christianity (but only as recently as 2008). Perhaps the Christian world should reciprocate and ensure that no crescent and star is on display? And oh, the cries of foul play when Switzerland banned Minarets.

As I previously stated (but you chose to ignore that): Only when Islam is mutually respectful of all faiths to openly demonstrate and celebrate their faiths should it be reciprocated.

There are many many countries around the world where Christianity is in the minority and those practicing the faith are persecuted. I can post you hundreds of examples if you wish. I don't see too many mosques being burnt down based purely on the fact that it is an Islamic place of worship.

Tolerance and understanding is a 2 way street.

You can't even draw silly pictures of the Prophet Mohammed without the threat of a Fatwah (Death for a cartoon.....what a bizarre and twisted logic.)

Christianity and the West has gone a long way to demonstrate its ability to live side by side and yet Islam maintains this idea of the abrogation of all non believers.

Islam has a long way to go.

Travel / Mosques in Krakow? [131]

Israel does not ban Christian churches!!!!!!

Travel / Mosques in Krakow? [131]


I selected Saudi Arabia but there are many other countries where churches and christian insignia are banned.

In 2008 Qatar opened its first Christian chapel. No Christian insignia allowed to be displayed outside. No crosses, nothing!!

Only when Islam is mutually respectful of all faiths to openly demonstrate and celebrate their faiths should it be reciprocated.

Travel / Mosques in Krakow? [131]


Saudi Arabia allows Roman Catholics and Christians of other denominations to enter the country as foreign workers for temporary work, but does not allow them to practise their faith openly, and as a result Roman Catholics and Christians of other denominations generally only worship in secret within private homes. Items and articles belonging to religions other than Islam are prohibited. These include Bibles, crucifixes, statues, carvings, items with religious symbols, and others.

The Saudi Arabian Mutaween (Arabic: مطوعين), or Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice (i.e., the religious police) prohibits the practice of any religion other than Islam.

Now you tell me why it is okay to have a Mosque in Krakow?


So Saudi Arabia is a country full of racist bigots?

Law / How long is the waiting period after applying for Polish citizenship via marriage? [29]

I can't believe how many Polish girls there are that are gullible enough to marry people from countries like Nigeria, Pakistan and India and don't actually realise what (in many cases, not all) the motivation is.

I mean......this one is a classic:


This character is looking to come to Poland solely to marry a Polish girl and and obtain citizenship. It doesn't take the brains of an archbishop to work out where his next port of call would be armed with his newly obtained Polish passport.

History / Warsaw Rising 1944 - National Disaster or Triumph of Spirit ? [395]

A single flag with a black stripe would be an insult to those brave souls who made the ultimate sacrifice.

History / Warsaw Rising 1944 - National Disaster or Triumph of Spirit ? [395]


No, I disagree. Not a catastrophe. In retrospect it can be termes foolhardy at worst. For me a Triumph of Spirit and like those brave souls, were I faced with such a choice to make now, I like to think i'd have stood shoulder to shoulder with them.

And yet it could have been so very different, but for a fairer wind and the expected assistance of the allies.

As we have come to learn, those brave souls were sold down the river.

With more support, we could have been talking about a victory against all odds and one of the pivotal moments of the war. Instead the things that sticks out most is the horror that ensued.

With hindsight, it is easy for those that weren't there to label it as a catastrophe. We weren't faced with that choice to make.

Life / Racism and for what? (story of Egyptian guy's living in Poland) [149]

Having worked with enough Indians and having lived and travelled with enough Asian/Arab men to formulate a reasoned and balanced opinion the girl has a point. They do exude a certain odour which can be rather strong at times.

But back to your question......


Aside the fact that you think you are above those you define as Poland B and you imply they lack sufficient intellect, knowledge, experience, exposure, decorum for your liking you are also too stupid to be able to express yourself without resorting to profanities and expletives.

Good Night.

Life / Racism and for what? (story of Egyptian guy's living in Poland) [149]


I do believe you are confusing racism with race subjugation....No!?

I'm inclined to lean towards the opinion once a race is subdued then racism manifests itself. That is irrefutable. Let's be honest, Britain didn't decide to set sail around the world supressing the natives of those lands simply because of the colour of their skin. It was about furthering their self interests. It was about plundering the riches available. To be able to do this they had to crush any resistance and with that came the enslavement of the native/indiginous peoples. Of course only possible because in most cases we were more advanced than the nations we were conquering. Military ordnance against spears has only one outcome.

I also believe racism now is different to racism of yesteryear. The chai wallah then, was a member of a conquered people and would have been derided by his colonial master differently to how an Indian would be racially abused now for example. The Indian, the African are no longer subjugated or sold into slavery. Now, I think racism is more violent and hateful, whichever side of the divide.

Life / Racism and for what? (story of Egyptian guy's living in Poland) [149]


You need to read my responses in their entirety.

I made similar counter arguments when the OP suggested his country was virtually faultless and such events would never happen.

Life / Racism and for what? (story of Egyptian guy's living in Poland) [149]


You may well not say this but the original poster did.


You may well not have said this either but again the original goes on to imtimate that in his country this incident would never have happened and yet we all know for a fact it has, it does and it will happen.

The fact remains, and I stand by my original point that he can't come on here saying he was wrong in his original preception that Poland was a racially tolerant, open minded country and after an unsavoury incident that its entire population were now actually one in the same as those that beat him.

It is sheer idiocy to claim that the entire population of 38 million plus Poles are racist.

What is worse is the fact that some fool then comes on here to defend his stance and goes on to state that Poland B are stupid and in need of education. Thereby, demonstrating the very same intolerance that saw the original poster racially assaulted (Assuming it was racist attack. It may be that they were just looking to beat someone for sport. We only have the original posters word that it was racially motivated).

I was living in Brussels up to a few months ago and was attacked by 4 moroccans on a tram. I dispatched of them easily and one now sports a nice scar that will remind him for the rest of his life of his stupidity. Do I now automatically label all moroccans as racist, intolerant and narrow minded???? Of course not. These 4 individuals were not representative of an entire nation no more than those that beat the original poster were representative of the average Pole.

It is the original poster who demonstrates a lack of understanding and open-mindedness.

Poland is no different to any other country. Racist attacks happen all over the world. They are a fact of life and occurs on both sides of the divide. Black/White, Muslim/Christian, Wallonian/Flemish, Hutu/Tutsi.........etc etc etc.

Life / Racism and for what? (story of Egyptian guy's living in Poland) [149]


You differentiate between "Polska A i B" ....!?

Isn't that the very same kind of prejudice and intolerance you claim to have exploded over??

Educate them all?? How arrogant is that!!

By your logic ....All those defined as Polish B are stupid and need education.

Perhaps if the girl had said.....All Arabs smell so i'd like to wash them it would have been more palatable for you???

No you're right.

Lets do it this way then....

Enter Polish burn christian in google then enter egyptian burn christian and compare the results.

That's a fairer comparison, no?

As I say, easy to come onto a public forum and conclude that Poland is not........ "a modern country with open brains (sic) and and great culture and open minded for other cultures around the world" when his own country has a history of terrible crimes against its own people and visitors to its country.....Luxor as an example.

The truth is the vast majority of Pole's wouldn't give two shites about him and would barely afford him the brain space to formulate an opinion of him.

One incident and the whole of Poland is labelled. He's an idiot!!
