Muslim Cultural Center Is Vandalized in Warsaw; Milieu of Ethnocentrism, Racism Pervade Poland

Police said today (November 27, 2017) that vandals smashed a dozen windows at the Muslim Cultural Center in Warsaw, which houses one of two mosques in the Polish capital, according to the AFP (Agence France-Presse) website.


The incident comes amid an atmosphere of intolerance that has grown since Poland's right-wing government took power in 2015.


The vandals also damaged the frame of a large tent erected in the center's garden.


At a massive far-right march earlier this month in Warsaw, some of the participants chanted "Pure Poland, white Poland" and "Refugees get out," further illustrating the ethnocentric and racist milieu that now pervades Poland.
