I'm a Polish Muslim revert, and I've got Tatar friends who helped me a lot at the beginning of my journey 10 years ago 💕
It's a great and very beneficial documentary. Great job. JazakAllah Khair
Thank you!!
Wonderful sister.the devil will try his best to misguided you again.Remember sister this world is jail for muslim and Paradise of non-muslims.
May Allah help all reverts in their brave endeavor
Let me guess emotional reasons or that you married a Muslims , there's no way you actually read the Quran and Hadiths and belived in the religion lol
Masha'Allah sister! May Allah grant you have a journey with happiness and prosperity.
Tatars that settled in Poland were free to follow theirs religion since settling. They gave us many great leaders and heroes. They were and are part of Poland and Poland will always be loyal to them.
What if polish people want to convert to Islam what would polish people do??? I saw video where polish Muslims wearing hijab suffering to work
@@MrDentmedo If you want to convert to islam, all you have to do, is just go through a lobotomy procedure.
Well, moving to a tartar majority area seems like a fix if the status quoe remains
Yes, they are muslims and they are Polish. Their homeland is Poland, they fought for it many times, they are proud to be Polish. Poland is proud to have such citizens.
NUNCA UN MUSULMÁN SERÁ EUROPEO U OCCIDENTAL,, EL ISLAM ES SOLO UNA RELIGIÓN RETRÓGRADA Y SIN AMOR,,
No we are not proud of our Nation state. islam is what we are proud of.
@@enacausmembrane Someone's home is still their home; they're gonna defend it regardless if it's under threat.
@@sandelemental6502
What you said is completely irrelevant to my comment
@@enacausmembrane There's nothing meaningful to saying that you're not nationalistic. Effectively, people are connected to their local community. Nobody is truly "proud"; they just love what their locality represents and extrapolate it outward.
Tatars are part of Polish culture and nation, we are proud. As a Catholic whose uncle is Muslim Tatar, it is an honour. 🇵🇱
Sadly, not everyone in the comments agree!
@@williambarylo tatars were mongols who attacked poland
btw the whole story of the god of abraham is a rip off of gilgamesh and atra hasis. and the noah story was basically copy pasted from them
No, they aren't a part of Polish culture. A muslim cannot be Polish
@@munaciello owszem może np. Józef Bem, nie ma za co
Nope
Well,I'm Bosnian and Moslem ... My relatives and ancestors are in Islam since 17 century
I was walking in Kraków last year,in the streets at the same day i saw orthodox jews,budhists monks,catholics,orthodox christians, muslims ,also womens in hjab, i saw some students of different skin colours,and my self who look different because I am italian-polish and look more mediterranean origin,one thing is inportant :to respect people and don't harass
Sounds lovely, just wait until the demographics change and there is a majority, then watch the demands come in and lack of tolerance...
I'm Polish Muslim with Kyrgyz backgrounds (3rd generation already) living in small Polish town. Me and my family never had problem and bad experience about faith and backgrounds : )) In my town by last years noticed more Muslim immigrants, one family from Uzbekistan, Bangladesh, some Turkish and Arabic people, most of them have kebab buissness and very popular places/restaurants here in my town, one is even with direct neighborhood with curch ; ))
Sorry, but you are NOT Polish, darling!🤣 A passport and being born there, it doesn't make you one! You are just a foreigner in a Christian country!☝🏻 You better respect that or move to bangladesh, afghanistan, somalia or another islamic ghetto! And remember the Hussars like turks will always do!☝🏻☦️

---In fact, Islam is not a divine religion, it is not a religion of peace,
and it is not a religion of love .
Rather, it is an evil, malicious,
poisonous , and deadly ideology
that kills the mind, intellect,
and humanity .
And through this malicious ideology, Muhammad, who unjustly and falsely claimed prophethood , established a
religion he called Islam and imposed it by using sword and terror, by beheadings , by capturing
and raping women,
and by imposing jizya
(monetary penalties )
///
---Many of those who convert to Islam do not know that there are surahs and verses in the Qur’an that are brutal, barbaric, immoral,
and inhuman , for example:
---verses Which describes non-Muslims in general and Jews and Christians as apes and impure And this is considered an insult to the God of Islam and an insult
to Muslims before it is an insult to others .
///
---There are verses that
command and permit the beheading of everyone who does not believe in Islam, the beheading of everyone who leaves Islam,
and the beheading of everyone who expresses his opinion about the teachings of Islam And this is considered the summit of bestiality that does not come from a real God .
///
---And verses command and permit the captivity of women and girls, and this is considered the height
of kidnapping and rape , And this is impossible to come from a real God .
///
---And verses permit marriage
of four, without counting sexual enjoyment with women whom the Qur’an calls unspecified ownership of the right hand This is considered slave trade and the enslavement of women.
///
--- And verses that permit marriage to a young girl who has not yet menstruated , and this is considered pedophilia par excellence.
///
--- And there are verses that allow temporary marriage, and this is considered Islamic prostitution,
which is legalized by Quranic verses .
///
--- And verses that classify women under the rank of excrement .
And the turd in the Arabic language
is a low place among the bushes , where Muhammad, the Prophet of Islam and his followers used to relieve themselves, that is, the place where they used to empty their stomachs . Because at that time Muslims did not know the toilet and the bathroom And this is considered an insult not only to women, but to all humanity
///
--- There are verses that allow beating women and abandoning them in their beds as a punishment for them, as stated in this verse, and this is considered the height
of contempt and injustice towards women.
Let us reflect the verse :
Do men accept being beaten by their wives and abandoning them in the beds ?
And if they say no , then this means that they support the unjust teachings of the Qur’an, and if they say no , then this means that the Qur’an’s laws are unfair and immoral.
///
And the verses conspire and impose the tax on everyone who lives in the Islamic state if he does not believe in Islam and
is treated as slaves and with contempt.
And the jurists of Islam say that
the tribute is applied to us when the Islamic state is strong, and if it is weak, do not apply it so as not to bring prejudice against it and become a colony and destroyer, and this is considered deception and a cunning ploy that he uses Muslims

If Islam were truly the religion of God and Muhammad was truly a prophet, those whom you call the Companions of the Messenger

as also happened in the Battle of Siffin between
Muawiya Ibn Abi Sufyan and

And this happened during the reign of Muawiyah Ibn Abi Sufyan,
when he sent his army commander,
Busr Ibn Abi Artaa , who committed heinous massacres in the city
and called it the stench.

Hi Sister, it is nice to see 3rd generation of Kyrgyz people from Poland. You ain't look like as Kyrgyz though. 😂 I am Uzbek myself, from Uzbekistan. I heard about a lot of Uzbeks living in Poland who have recently migrated. Btw, I understand Kyrgyz, Kazakh and Tatar languages too. Especially Kazan Tatar language which is almost the same as my own Uzbek language. We Turkic people are not Arabs or Pakistani, we have our own way of life and different cultures and mentality. I hope all Turkic communities will be safe in Poland.
@miya_kim _h In decades to come they will be problem. look what's happening in France.?
Dziekuje tobie za postawe w

THE MOSQUE WAS NEVER SET ON FIRE! THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS AT FAULT.
In Poland, we do not have problems with native Muslims. Tatars are a completely different culture from Muslims from the rest of the world. They are a minority, they gave their lives for Poland, they respect our culture and laws. Marriages are even inter-religious but also a Muslim woman is married to a Christian. It's a big difference, and it's a completely different perception of religion than in other countries. As long as our culture, our laws and the fact that we are hosts are respected, no one will have problems because of being Muslim, Jewish or atheist.The Tatars defended our lands, shed blood for Poland, got land and titles of nobility.
Hi Everyone, it is nice to see Turkic communities living in Poland. I am from Uzbekistan, and we have one big Polish Catholic church in Tashket(the capital city of Uzbekistan) too.
Salam my Uzbek brother! We, in Turkey, also have a Polish village in Istanbul called Polonezköy (again, it literally means Polish Village). There is a small Polish community there with its own church and cemetery. They are very lovely people.
Only one mosque were set on fire (but not burned) in Poland in Gdańsk (2013), not many mosques (as you said). And police don't know who did it but muslims themselves are suspected... Nowadays Tatars suffer much more from Arab immigrants because of their radical intolerance due to the allegation of "Tatar soft islam", than they ever suffered from catholic Poles.
Witold asked for help to the Golden Horde. He never asked for a kebab.
Really non-substantive answer...
@@adrianrokosz1054you made up that arent you ?
Tatar soft islam so what is hard islam ?
I am an arab and laugh at what you say muslims burning mosque ?😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dude grow up
@@manofwar2354 Arab islam is "hard" in compare to Tatar type of believing. Wahhabis and salafis especially. Every year many mosques around the world are destroyed or damaged in sunni-shia conflict for example. Christians, buddhists or UFO don't do this but muslims themselves. If you laugh because of this, it's the sign how stupid you are. Go and feed your camel. Thinking is to difficult for you.
Arab Muslims aren't all extremists, most of them are moderate, and they are a small minority in poland. Also, poland doesn't have a bad history in Muslim countries nor does it interfer there, unlike the US, UK, France ..etc, that is why extremists would mostly target them. So I don't buy this claim that a Muslim did it, not even an extremist.
I was always fascinated with polish Tatars and other minorities that decided to become Poles, like Germans, Scotts, Jews and many other. Being open for all these nationalities and creating multicultural republic is something I can be proud of.
Polish Tatar they don’t force people to become as them they don’t take over land they live very quietly respect Polish culture and Faith !!! They different.
British people were fed up with Polish people "invading the UK" with their "backwards culture" and opening "Polski sklepy" everywhere, that's why they voted Brexit. if you are Polish, you know it's false. it was all media and political propaganda. Polish people only wanted to live peacefully, do business and help each other. Polish people are intelligent and have overall better education than the British. Don't fall in the same trap as them
@@williambarylo The difference is that Poles went to UK legally, while IN GENERAL muslims come to Europe illegally. Christians don't blow themselves up in muslim countries. And so on and so on.
@@16PiotrEX Not long ago in fact 2 days ago when a Christian started stabbing children in France in the name of JESUS, ohh well it's a terrorist act as a matter of fact he was mentally disturbed. Minority criminals ruins for the majority but the media amplifies it, don't fall for their trap, think for yourself and find out the truth rather than listening to BBC, cnn and so on.

As a Malay muslim in Malaysia.. I really understand Polish people..they not anti immigrant but do not like the idea imigrant implying their culture in Polish..once you wanted to become Polish then you must be Polish first regarding of what you race or religion of faith..
Right on the money.
But for muslims , Islam comes first then country.

Poles respect them , because they respect Poland it is that simple.
Their grandparents,great-grandparents fought against the Germans for Poland (their country)
Jazak allah akhi, i been in poland for some 6 years , reverted back to islam here . With all the ups and downs Overall its pretty good here, and i prefer living among them conservative christian poles because we have similar values
thank you! It's good to know!
How you have similar values?! You just can't admit that your islamic lifestyle is rubbish and full of restrictions! You like the Christian freedom, but you believe in a pedophile as a "prophet"!🤢 You deserve to be deported to afghanistan, pakistan or saudi arabia and see there your conservative brothers!!! You wouldn't be able to live amongst them for 1 month!🤣

Islam is the cradle of hatred and enmity and the source of terrorism
MASHALLAH thank you for this information I never knew Muslims have been in Poland 🇵🇱 for that long may ALLAH bless protect and keep you all ive worked with alot of Polish people in the United Kingdom couldn't imagine Muslim people have been there for so long🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻

@@williambarylo I understand I have many friends who are not Muslim and they ask me questions that I see on the negative side of the media Hamdulilah most of the Polish people I work with are friendly and open minded
@@williambarylo Mr.William, I totally agree with you on social media. There has been a lot of goings-on. Not all people learn from their religion, nor faithfully practice. I always was aware that of Tarars Muslim in Poland, they practice their religion, and lead a peaceful life. It's great that they have more folks joining them. There has been major issues with immigrants in various countries. Some young Muslims that never traveled much, when they see a European woman dressed in what you folks would consider provactive clothing, they snatch them off the street, drug them, and traffic them. They were caught, the country that took them in, including people, were extremely angry. There has been other incidents as well. It's the younger generation that can't assimilate, learn, some Muslims were put through various education on proper etiquette in that country. Now the country wants them out. There is few other countries that ran across the same problems, in fact Germany had a rough New Year's night. Albanians, and Africans also contributed to lots of inappropriate behavior. I stead of acting like human beings, and be greatful for a fresh start, they ruined things for other Muslims. So whenever Muslims are looking for a place to go, people don't want or trust them, and judge them all the same. Polish people have given folks opportunities, but they won't tolerate ungrateful people. Poland also has indigenous Roman Gypsies. Also connection to Haiti. We have Polish people living there, marrid Haiti women, their children are learning Polish, English, Franch is their original language. Poland is also contributing financially to building schools. Polish people are not bad people, but they are cautions about what is going on I side Poland, also staying on top of what is going on our borders.
Polish people are good at least the ones I met, peace to you all from Chechnya.
thank you! I like the people from Chechnya!
I heard so many positive things about your people. Sorry to hear about all the division, been staying on top of Ukraine War. Also aware of how Russian soldiers treat people that are helping them. May Allah bless you for choosing the right road. What happend to your people and country is heart breaking. I also keep track of all the evil that was done by the devil. I pray that things will work to everyone's advantage, and that no one needs to fear Occupation by Russians. Freedom and peace!
I wonder what you think about Kadyrov and possible Chechnya independence?
yes, Polish social is very good;
@@melikgibsson5539 What you mean by that?
I'm from Poland and I try to remind myself incidents of mosques being burned in Poland and I hardly remember anything. I've checked even Google to be sure and there is only one situation of Mosque in Gdańsk, where entrance door was burned (not the whole mosque). Arsonists haven't been found so far, but police suspect that the mosque fire was supposed to be a revenge for ritual slaughter of cattle and far-left extremists are the main suspects. Police found evidences saying about that.
I'm curious where do You have information from about such incidents.
You're right! Gdańsk in 2013. Some guys drew a pig head on the mosque at Kruszyniany, and some other guy was arrested after online calls to burn that same mosque. bialystok.wyborcza.pl/bialystok/7,35241,18317737,19-letni-uczen-nawolywal-do-podpalenia-meczetu-w-kruszynianach.html
@@williambarylo article You mentioned is about some 19 year old guy who called to burn different mosque (one in Kruszyniany) on website with memes. I just want to say, that in Your video it sounds like a big issue of polish society, that we burn mosques - when in reality it is far from being any issue in my opinion.

I don't think Tatars are having tough time in Poland from what I've heard they're very respected minority. Not only by the government but also by the locals living in Eastern part of the country. Turkish minority in Poland is well integrated too. Regarding some marginal situations when there were clashes I don't think there was a case when somebody burned down the mosque in Poland I do not recall such situation. There was an attack on the kebab store but that was becuase the guy who worked at the kebab store have attacked one of the locals with a knife so community gathered around and attacked the kebab store. I'm not aware of any other situations.
Completely agree! Most detractors have a problem with those Muslims arrived more recently, from the Middle East, or Chechnya/Dagestan. The funny thing with Tatars is that although they're not considered as 'true Poles' by the most radicals, they're not seen as 'true Muslims' either (even by other Muslims!).
Re: attacks, apart from an arson at the mosque of Gdańsk in 2013 and other things you mentioned, I think it's more to do with the narrative against immigrants in general in the media and politics (which doesn't reflect ordinary people). Prof. Katarzyna Górak-Sosnowska calls the situation "platoniczna islamofobia": although there's not many Muslims, there is no positive opinion of them.
@@williambarylo There is no "islamofobia" in Poland and especially not a "platoniczna" one. Unfortunately we have a very strong and loud left movement that loves to see polish people as racist, fashists, everything-phobes. To the point that they are ready to lie just to prove their agenda, and there are many situations where they use provocation as well (caught in act many times). Of course one may encounter some moron willing to do stupid stuff, but they are not a representation of a nation and really - if someone is agresive by nature, they will find a victim regardless.
@@williambarylo So this arson at the mosque happen before actual right wing party took the power? Did any attack like this took place after they gain power?
@@gremik1973
it's just a lie, nothing like that ever happened.
There is no anti Tatar sentiment or politics in Poland 🇵🇱!
In the comments, it looks like some people don't like them!
@@williambaryloWe do not like you !!!
@@williambaryloSTOP talking about Poland!!! Talk about your shitty Arabic country, but leave our Poland alone !!!
Dr. Barylo, Thank you for your excellent presentation on the brief history and the contemporary situation of Polish Muslims. I hope that they will be able to unite into a unified voice and integrate into the larger Polish society by serving.
Let's hope so, these things take a long time!
Please update your film. It is 2023, there are no attacks on mosques in Poland.
I mentioned it happened when I left, which was in 2013 which is a long time ago.
Tatars fought against Poland. Then some wanted to settle in Poland, but the condition to take a Polish wife and land was to adopt a Polish surname. they could keep their religion but they had to take Polish surnames and be loyal to the king of Poland. Tatars are the most loyal minority in Poland. Once they promised loyalty and its stays like that
They are loyal to Poland yet some Polish people don't consider them "truly Polish"
I have never met anyone in Poland who would be against our Tatars.
@@pawelborger8819 Me neither... before I read the comment section!
@@williambaryloUnfortunately internet makes idiots very brave and anonymous. We shouldn’t care about such people I think.
@@eskil6096 Well, at least, every comment boosts the engagement rates of this video. A part of me thinks I should maybe thank them!
That Ethnic group are Tatars- then Muslims. The most loyal minority to Rzeczpospolita. None other Muslims can compare to them within Poland. Muslims from other parts of the world are not pleased with local difference in interpretation of Islam.
It's very true. I always found it funny how some Polish people don't consider them as 'truly Polish' and some Muslims don't consider them as 'truly Muslim'!
Thank you. Turkic-Tatar people are Muslims, but they do not like Arab mentality and culture. They don't dictate religion to anyone and they don't like it being done to them.

Thank you!
Polish Tatars are not Muslims from Middle East Neither Africa - these are different people
Never know about Polish Muslim's history! It come as surprise to me.
Same here. Was extremely surprised!
This Polish Tatar Muslims are exactly what Poland needs. There's some in Ukraine, maybe we have them come to Poland. They will do good with the folks that are also Tatars.
Those Muslims from the east of Poland are different Muslims than those who come to Europe. Those from Poland experienced the same thing as the Poles over these several hundred years. They assimilated. They did not impose their culture. They were guests in Poland. Now they are Poles
Thank you! Other people in the comments don't seem to understand that!
@@williambarylo Where? I'm reading all the comments and they all prise highly OUR Tatars.
@@kasiasobczyk6939 Gość ma urojenia, twierdzi że w Polsce muzułmanie mają obecnie ciężko przez rządzącą skrajną prawicę, podpalane są meczety a ludzie bici na ulicach xD chyba czerpie wiedzę z anglojęzycznej wersji gazety wyborczej czy coś takiego. Nie wie pewnie też że to za PIS-u do Polski ściągnięto najwięcej muzułmanów xd.
Let me get this straight. Do you dare to claim that Polish Tatars have been persecuted since the 2015 elections? Have you lost your mind or are you a provocateur? We, the Poles, have great respect for our Tatars, the descendants of the faithful soldiers of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
Definitely not the Tatars! I've mentioned the government holds yearly ceremonies to commemorate their military service defending Poland
EX-MUSLIM :
Glory be to Christ, the Spirit of God
and His Word, who embodied and still embodies the strength and power of the Lord on earth and
in heaven.
///
---In fact, Islam is not a divine religion, it is not a religion of peace,
and it is not a religion of love .
Rather, it is an evil, malicious,
poisonous , and deadly ideology
that kills the mind, intellect,
and humanity .
And through this malicious ideology, Muhammad, who unjustly and falsely claimed prophethood , established a
religion he called Islam and imposed it by using sword and terror, by beheadings , by capturing
and raping women,
and by imposing jizya
(monetary penalties )
///
---Many of those who convert to Islam do not know that there are surahs and verses in the Qur’an that are brutal, barbaric, immoral,
and inhuman , for example:
---verses Which describes non-Muslims in general and Jews and Christians as apes and impure And this is considered an insult to the God of Islam and an insult
to Muslims before it is an insult to others .
///
---There are verses that
command and permit the beheading of everyone who does not believe in Islam, the beheading of everyone who leaves Islam,
and the beheading of everyone who expresses his opinion about the teachings of Islam And this is considered the summit of bestiality that does not come from a real God .
///
---And verses command and permit the captivity of women and girls, and this is considered the height
of kidnapping and rape , And this is impossible to come from a real God .
///
---And verses permit marriage
of four, without counting sexual enjoyment with women whom the Qur’an calls unspecified ownership of the right hand This is considered slave trade and the enslavement of women.
///
--- And verses that permit marriage to a young girl who has not yet menstruated , and this is considered pedophilia par excellence.
///
--- And there are verses that allow temporary marriage, and this is considered Islamic prostitution,
which is legalized by Quranic verses .
///
--- And verses that classify women under the rank of excrement .
And the turd in the Arabic language
is a low place among the bushes , where Muhammad, the Prophet of Islam and his followers used to relieve themselves, that is, the place where they used to empty their stomachs . Because at that time Muslims did not know the toilet and the bathroom And this is considered an insult not only to women, but to all humanity
///
--- There are verses that allow beating women and abandoning them in their beds as a punishment for them, as stated in this verse, and this is considered the height
of contempt and injustice towards women.
Let us reflect the verse :
Do men accept being beaten by their wives and abandoning them in the beds ?
And if they say no , then this means that they support the unjust teachings of the Qur’an, and if they say no , then this means that the Qur’an’s laws are unfair and immoral.
///
And the verses conspire and impose the tax on everyone who lives in the Islamic state if he does not believe in Islam and
is treated as slaves and with contempt.
And the jurists of Islam say that
the tribute is applied to us when the Islamic state is strong, and if it is weak, do not apply it so as not to bring prejudice against it and become a colony and destroyer, and this is considered deception and a cunning ploy that he uses Muslims
///
If Islam were truly the religion of God and Muhammad was truly a prophet, those whom you call the Companions of the Messenger
of God would not have refused to walk in his funeral and they would not have refused to attend his burial.
For your information: Muhammad was buried by his family members only, and none of those whom you call companions attended except Salman Al-Farisi .
///
If Islam were truly the religion of God and Muhammad was truly a prophet and messenger, Muslims would not have divided into several sects, into several parties, and into several groups, and each sect accuses the other sects of being polytheists and infidels.
///
--- If Islam was truly the religion of God and Muhammad was truly a prophet and messenger, Muslims would not have killed each other, nor would those whom you call the Companions of the Messenger
of God have killed each other,
as happened in Saqifah Bani Sa’idah and as happened in the Battle of the Camel Between Aisha, the wife of Muhammad,
and Ali Ibn Abi Talib, where thousands and thousands of dead and thousands and thousands of wounded were killed in this war,
as also happened in the Battle of Siffin between
Muawiya Ibn Abi Sufyan and
Ali Ibn Abi Talib Thousands and thousands of dead, thousands
and thousands of wounded,
and thousands and thousands of women raped by the army of Muawiyah Ibn Abi Sufyan
///
---If Islam were truly the religion of God, and if the Muslims and those whom you call the Companions of the Messenger of God truly believed in him and believed in Muhammad, they would not have besieged Medina for three nights
in their entirety , where they killed its inhabitants and. They raped many women, Even though they are Muslim women.
And this happened during the reign of Muawiyah Ibn Abi Sufyan,
when he sent his army commander,
Busr Ibn Abi Artaa , who committed heinous massacres in the city
and called it the stench.
///
---If Islam was truly a divine religion, and if Muslims truly believed that Muhammad is a prophet, they would not have struck the Kaaba with catapults, burned it to the ground, destroyed it, and shed blood in it.
This happened during the reign
of Abd al-malik Ibn Marwan Ibn al-Hakam.
///
--- If Muslims truly believed that Islam is a divine religion and that Muhammad is a prophet, they would not have killed his grandchildren and mutilated
even their corpses.
///
If Muhammad was really a prophet and messenger, why didn't he compile the Qur'an himself and put the seal of prophecy on it so that it would have credibility?
The child, Aisha, the wife of Muhammad, believed when she told him that you are delusional that you are a prophet, and that I see your Lord hastening in your desires as He sends down the verses that fulfill your desires and sexual instincts.
////
--- The late Yusuf al-Qaradawi said: If the rule of apostasy had not been applied in the time of Abu Bakr's caliphate, Islam would not have remained alive .
He also said that at the present time,
had it not been for the Muslims' fear of applying the ruling of apostasy to them, they would have left Islam at lightning speed .
He also said that despite the implementation of the ruling on apostasy in Islamic and Arab countries, there are many numbers who leave Islam every day, but they do not announce this for fear of killing and beheading.
And the list is long
///
The best blessing of all is leaving the dark, savage and barbaric religion of Islam and disavowing its evil teachings.

@@williambarylo Muslim Tartars had kidnapped and sold millions of Slavic people Polish Ukrainians, Lithuanian Georgians, Circassians, Greeks, Armenians, Bulgarians sold to Muslim Turks. Just 875 Crimean Tatars enslaved and sold some 1,750,000 Ukrainians, Poles and Russian between 1468 and 1694. 876 According to another estimate, between 1450 and 1700, the Crimean Tatars exported some 10,000 slaves, including some Circassians, annually-that is, some 2,500,000 slaves in all, to the Ottoman Empire.877 The Tatar slave-raiding Khans returned with 18,000 slaves from Poland (1463), 100,000 from Lvov (1498), 60,000 from South Russia (1515), 50,000-100,000 from Galicia (1516), during the ‘harvesting of the steppe.’ Numbers from Moscow (1521), 800,000 were taken and from Valynia (1676), 400,000 were taken. 800,000 from Moscow (1521), 200,000 from South Russia (1555), 100,000 from Moscow (1571), 50,000 from Poland (1612), 60,000 from South Russia (1646), 100,000 from Poland (1648), 300,000 from Ukraine (1654), 400,000 from Valynia (1676) and thousands from Poland (1694). Besides these major catches, they made countless more Jihad raids during the same period, which yielded a few to tens of thousands of slaves.878 These figures of enslavement must be considered in the context that the population of the Tatar Khanate was only about 400,000 at the time. (1463-1694) while sources are incomplete, conservative tabulation of the slave raids against the Eastern European population indicate that at least 7 Million European people-men, women, children were enslave
Great that someone is finally covering this topic. Especially if it's indeed genuine social research. Yes, Poland has a long tradition of having this particular ethnic minority, Polish Tatar people were actually Polish nobile class members, Polish knights. Only two rules were imposed restricting their choices- ban on marrying Catholic women. What they actually also endorsed themsleves up till now since it allowed them to keep their own distinct traditions and culture alive across generations. And ban on becoming huge land owners and huge farmers- due to the fact that Poland had within it's own social structure a higher category of its own nobile upper class- large land owners and those old and wealthy families didn't want to lose the control over who gets into their narrow group to prevent access to limited amount of royal offices coming with it, to keep its own intenral cohesion also based on religion as well as on close centuries old family ties. Not to mention pledging alliance to the Vatican and to the Pope himself for historical an dpolitical influence reasons, what would not be acceptable to people of other religions than Catholic one. So yes, here it is. Only such limits for people of other ethnic religious minorities in Poland which is often falsely depicted as " non-tolerant country". No, Poland has always had diversity but it was a regulated diversity aimed at preventing ceratin social internal order from collapsing and various social conflicts over access to certain goods or ability to follow a certain law or tradition or a custom from exploding at random. As for Polish Tatar muslims interesting fact is that until late 70ties in XX century they didn't need any printed version of Koran translated inot Polish for their own religion to survive. So a certain degree of isolation from Catholic majority has worked in thei favour. This fact has an interesting twist when it comes to protests of accepting mass muslim immigration to Poland nowadays. Why? Because who feared modern day muslim immigration the most in Poland? Polish Tatar people! Why? Since they do no interpret Koran in a way which would permit things such any modern day forms of radical islam terrorism and as they wrote in an official petition to the President of Poland " they fear that radicalised and unrestricted by the state modern day mass immigration from all muslim countries in which currently radicalization of muslim youth is common may pose a direct threat to their youth and may go against ages long traditions of their own community". Real thing. So next time around anoynone in anglosaxon world or in arabic speaking world or in EU meeting tries to understand the position of any Polish government on mass and completely free immigration of muslims to Poland , please keep in mind that Polish Tatar community itself have asked openly the President of Poland and the Polish state to make sure that their young generations should be offered an effective state protection against the danger of radicalisation by radical islam terrorist global network. As for peaceful muslims, Poland has never had any problems with them. Actually many of them visits our cities for holidays with entire families and often likes how safe it is in here. Since yes, we do not have a massive wave of knife crime, random terrorist bomb attacks, frequent tornados or earthquakes or any violent events of this kind.
Thank you for this very informative comment!
I know many Tatars. Very decent people. They are 100% Europeans. For them all those hijabs, burkas, honorary killings, hanging gays etc. are some Middle East medieval traditions and supertistitions and they don't want to be associate with them. Immigrants from Africa and Levant are trying to take control over the Polish muslims. Some of them came to Poland over 40 years ago when russians held training camps for palestinian terrorists in Poland (true story) and stayed after fell of communism. For some reason immigrants from Vietnam or Ukraine don't run amok on European street stabbing people or harras women in public places. This is the part of other cultures we don't welcome. We have enough problems with our catholic taliban. In other word: an ultimate test for any culture is the way of treating women.

Polish Tatars as Muslims are not radicalized nor fanatics. They don't force others or think their religion is superior and the only one right. They feel as Poles first, then Muslims.

Tatars has always been one accepted Muslim group in Poland, they're also the ones that fought the war with Poland. They're well respected people. Unlike other Muslim, they don't bring problems, fights over the religion they practice.
In all said and done, Tarars are the most respectful Muslims Poland and othet European countries have.

@@williambarylo Dr. Barylo, Thank you! To my surprise, I did learn something today. Lots of great Muslims, comparing notes with each other, learning. Lots of discipline goes into learning Islam, committment, time and you truly have to want it. You're correct. Being that some of the younger Muslims are not as committed to their religion, they blunder good thing for other Muslims. I'm glad you learned about Tatars in Poland. It isn't that we don't know our history. It is that Tatars are the kind of people that you don't mind having as a neighbor. Ukraine and Russia also have Muslims. Of course, it's not convenient at this time, but everyone is praying that the war is over soon. Good luck with everything. Overall, Poland is a beautiful place. Enjoy.
Do you know how many Muslim immigrants live in Europe? Tell me what percentage of them compared to their number, cause problems or bomb themselves? A very small minority. The majority just live their normal lives and don't harm anyone. Europeans themselves have people among them who commit crimes.
Tatars of Poland were actually adopted by the Polish Lithuanian state in the second half of XVII as a homage to their loyalty during the Polish- Lithuanian vs Ottoman wars.
Thank you so Much for a beautiful and informative video. I love your love for Islam and its history. Much love to you from Cape Town.

Title is misleading! Indigenous suggest they originated in Poland, which is a lie! Initially they invaded Polish land and occupied certain areas, but once they settled they somehow were allowed to stay and peacefully coexist. After a while they were a great asses to Polish king and even fought with us side by side in wars, so they earned their place in our country and are truly Polish patriots ❤

@@williambarylo so lying is not a sin in Islam? Let me guess you can lies just not to other Muslims?
@@AS-010o0 If you really want to, we can start a philosophical debate about the term indigenous, its multiple definitions and why Tatars can be considered indigenous to the modern state of Poland - or not.

2faced people who can’t be trusted, that’s why Islam will never beat Christianity. If your religion is OK with lies, killing , oppression, you’re not the religion of love and u closer to Satan than God. God will not let u take over the world.

I can explain why the mosque in Kruszyniany looks like a church. The imam there told me that Tatars asked Polish carpenters to build a house of prayers for the Muslims. But because Poles had never seen a mosque they built a church😊. I asked the Imam if there were no problems among the three religious groups (Catholics, Orthodox and Muslims) in Kruszyniany and surroundings. He told me they had just one problem: since they celebrated all religious feasts together, they hardly had free time to work. And he laughed.
That's a beautiful story! Thanks for the info!
@@williambarylo 😄 Tatars deserved well of Poland. The were given land to settle down in Poland for their brave fight for the Polish Crown.

Paweł Jasienica, Olga Lipińska, Ferdynand Ossendowski,Jarosław Marek Rymkiewicz to name only few.

Thank you. Interestingly, the far right narrative is against the new wave of Muslims. Although they don't consider the Tatars as 'true Poles', they don't consider them as 'true Muslims' either.
@@williambarylo there is a similar thing with 'pomaks' in Bulgaria. They are indigenous Bulgarians and believers too
@@Sam-ng3of didn't know that, thank you!
Hello,
Polish people have nothing againts other religions. They are only afraid of terrorist attacs. I haven't heared of any burning of the Mosques in Poland. Fortunately, far right people are the minority in Poland.
I grew up in a Polish family that doesn't like migrants and especially not Muslims - here are a few points.
There's a lot of noise here saying that there was never any attack on Muslims or mosques in Poland. That was mostly true before 2013. If you watch the full documentary from 2012, everyone interviewed was feeling happy living in Poland. BUT if we love our country, we must acknowledge sometimes ugly facts because ultimately everyone wants to be proud of Poland, its people and its history. There is a small portion of the population that doesn't like Muslims and even Tatars (just read the comments) - on the far right AND the far left - BUT they do not represent the majority of Polish people, just like the government doesn't represent everyone in Poland. Yes, there was not many attacks and it may seem insignificant for 99.9% of Polish people who don't go to the mosque. BUT there's less than 0.1% of people in Poland for whom it matters because it's the only place of worship they have locally. Here are the links but I know some people will think it's just propaganda and that the attacks have been perpetrated by Muslims themselves to play the victims - it's not my job to convince you:

For those who don't agree with Tatars belonging to Poland, ask the question: how many centuries are enough for people to belong a land? However, there are many definitions of who is "indigenous" out there, whether your choose the dictionary, wikipedia, geneticists, historians, political scientists, the UN, etc. If you listen to geneticists, humans originated in Africa and thus it should be the only place where humans are indigenous. Slavic Poles arrived in the territory of Poland around 500AD - before that, it was Germanic tribes, Balts and Celts. According to genetics, even Slavic Poles were not indigenous to Poland. So where do you set the mark? Of course, Tatars came from Crimea (which are considered Indigenous to Europe by the UN); they're not Slavic people - but they contributed to the formation of Poland's borders. But again, I'm not here to convince you to love Tatars.
Poland has welcomed 40x more Ukrainians in 1 year (4% of the population) than it has welcomed Muslims in 6 centuries (0.1% of the population) - and the government has been bleeding money to host them (as the EU won't help). Some people, like my parents, don't like Ukrainians because they think they will impose their "uncivilised lifestyle" "incompatible with Polish values", fear that many will stay for EU citizenship - can you realise the shock such a massive population movement can be for a country? So why Muslims should be the top priority then? I am happy to consider migrants to be a topic of conversation when the government will first sort out the issues it has with its finances, the cost of living, Polish families living in poverty, the exodus of Polish healthcare professionals leaving the country, etc.
Another source for you for the story of Polish Muslims would by from the Ottoman History Podcast, the episode is: "Seljuks on the Baltic: Polish-Lithuanian Muslims and Süleyman the Magnificent" 🤓
There is conflict between the people of Maharashtra and the migrants from other states since Maharashtra become a major industrial center of India. There is a question on Quora why John Rabmo was attacked by the Cop in the movie. One of the answers say most towns in USA do not like migrants from other parts. Not surprising Europeans do not like other ethnic groups. Even among Europeans Anglo-Saxons, Nordic Europeans, Southern Europeans, Slavs, Jews-Gypsies are the general order as discussed by Europeans in a forum. Europeans Jews and Gypsies are Europeans mixed with Semitic and far east people.
ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION
First of all, we should know that Islam means “submission,” not peace. This does not imply mere voluntary submission but includes a forced submission where subjects will not comply. Historically Islam is not known for its peace movements, but for a uniquely Arab word we all know as “jihad,” which means an offensive war intended to lead to the conversion of the infidel to Islam or his annihilation. Dave Hunt notes:
Islam is fighting a holy war for control of the world! That war was begun by Mohammed himself in the seventh century and is still carried on today by his faithful followers through terrorism. The terrorists are not radicals or extremists, as the media continually labels them. Instead, these are Islamic fundamentalists who are true to their religion and the teachings of the Koran and who follow faithfully in the footsteps of their great Prophet, Mohammed. As one former Muslim and Islamic scholar has said:
We must never imagine that such Muslims are being unnecessarily wicked. They are simply being faithful to their religion. The fact is never hidden as to the attitude a good Muslim should have towards Christians and Jews. In fact, much of the incitement to violence and war in the whole of the Quran is directed against the Jews and Christian who rejected what they felt to be the strange god Mohammed was try to preach.1 (Emphasis added.)2
It appears that the fundamentalists versions of Islam are closer to historic Islam than those who are followers of so-called modern “mainstream” Islamic expressions. Non- fundamentalist Muslims are the ones who have changed historically and moved away from the historic Islam. I will provide more information supporting this claim throughout the remainder of this article.
ISLAM’S GLOBAL JIHAD
In an excellent book, written by a convert from Islam to Christianity, Abd El Schafi has documented from the Koran and widely accepted Muslim scholarship that Islam has
always been and continues to be a religion spread by force, not through peaceful means or persuasion. His book, Behind The Veil: Unmasking Islam is the work of a team of Christian converts from Islam that base their research and conclusions on the work of nothing but mainstream Muslims, both ancient and modern, from Saudi Arabia, Egypt and other Middle Eastern Islamic countries.3 El Schafi says,
Muhammad and his successors initiated offensive wars against peaceful countries in order to impose Islam by force as well as to seize the abundance of these lands. Their objective was to capture women and children and to put an end to the poverty and hunger from which Arab Muslims suffered. So, Islam was imposed upon Syria, Jordan, Palestine (Jerusalem), Egypt, Libya, Iraq, Iran, all of North Africa, some parts of India and China, and later Spain.4
For those familiar with Muhammad’s rise to power will also realize that Islam rose to the fore as a result of military conquest upon the so-called “holy land” of the Arabian Peninsula. El Schafi adds the following information about the militant nature of historic Islam in the following:
Undoubtedly, the concept of an offensive war to spread the faith is a genuine Islamic concept; it is known as a Holy War for the sake of God. We will see what Muslim scholars have explicitly determined that this is the essence of Islam. They also indicate that if sufficient military power is available to Islamic countries, they ought to attack all other countries in order to force them to embrace Islam (as well as all the Caliphs who succeeded him) called for holy wars. All scholars and lawyers acknowledge that.5
DIRECT QUOTES FROM THE KORAN
Anyone with even a casual acquaintance with Islam knows that the Koran is the authoritative scripture for the Muslim. Yet observe the many direct quotes from the Koran advocating militancy toward the non-Muslim. There are probably more that could be cited, but these are some that this novice was able to glean from Islam’s Holy Book.
But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them. And seize them, beleaguer them. Lie in wait for the in every stratagem of war; but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practice regular charity, then open the way for them: For Allah is Oft- Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Surah 9:5)6
Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Apostle, nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth, even if they are of the people of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with will submission, and feel themselves subdued. (Surah 9:29)
Go forth, light-armed and heavy-armed, and strive and struggle with your goods and your persons, in the Cause of Allah. (Surah 9:41)
The infidel is to be “killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land . . . and in the hereafter theirs will be an awful doom.” (Surah 5:33)
Fight in the way of Allah against those who fight against you, but begin not hostilities. Lo! Allah loveth no aggressors. And slay them wherever you find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out. . . . But if they desist, then lo! Allah is forgiving, merciful. (Surah 2:190-92)
Fight against such of those who have been given the Scripture as believe not in Allah nor the Last Day. . . . Go forth, light-armed and heavy-armed, and strive with your wealth and your lives in the way of Allah! ( Surah 2:29, 41)
Those who believe do battle for the cause of Allah; and those who reject the faith do battle for the cause of evil. So fight ye against the friends of Satan. (Surah 4:76)
MUHAMMAD AND THE ORIGIN OF ISLAM
It should not be surprising in the least to those familiar with the Koran and those with a knowledge of the genesis of this militant religion, that Islam was planted by Muhammad with the sword, not a philosophy or ethic of peace. El Schafi provides the following synopsis of the bloody beginnings of the Islamic religion:
Even the Muslim reader will be astonished to learn how cruel and brutal Muhammad was as he tortured his captives with fire, then killed them and took their wives as bond maids and wives for himself as well as for his companions. Had anyone dared to write defamatory poetry about him, the poet would have been assassinated whether a centenarian or a nursing mother. . . .
Following Muhammad’s death, his companions fought each other in relentless, savage wars. Competing for authority and out of deeply rooted hatred, Muhammad’s relatives and closest friends sacrificed and slaughtered on another. . . .
All these historical facts are agreed upon by all Muslim scholars and historians according to the references which will be mentioned in detail.
No wonder that we see Moslems these days fighting with each other. In fact, these wars and hostilities spring from the heart of the teachings of Islam since it calls for the use of force to combat wrongdoing, as Muhammad’s relatives did with one another. It was Muhammad who said that “whoever sees an abomination must straighten it with his hands.”” Saddam Hussein repeated and relied upon this saying of Muhammad in his attack on Kuwait’s ruling family. Muslim brotherhood in Egypt depended upon this saying when they killed Anwar El Sadat.7
Muhammad founded Islam with the sword. His followers maintained Islamic rule with the sword. Subsequent generations have always spread Islam’s oppressive rule beyond the Arabian Peninsula with the sword. One cannot be a true follower of Islam without holding to the tenants of the Koran, which also advocates forced submission to its rule. How can anyone who knows much about Islam deny this?
SECULAR WESTERNERS
Why are so many in the United States and the West inclined to want to believe that Islam is a peaceful religion and not the militant movement that desires to conquer the world through Jihad? In general, it is most likely because of liberal enlightenment beliefs that dominate their mindset. Just as liberals change Christianity from something that includes the literal Word of God in the Bible that has occurred literally in history to the words of man that contain human ideas and universal human ethics. Western Muslims are often “liberal,” by Middle Eastern standards, in their interpretations of Islam. Just as liberal “Christians” deny direct biblical statements and reinterpret Christianity as something that they want it to be, so also do Muslims, primarily in the West. It is only in this way can anyone could attempt to represent Islam as a peaceful religion.
Obviously there are political motives behind President Bush and his administration that have given rise to their many statements that Islam is a peaceful religion. Yet such is simply not the case. If our American administration is going to truly defeat Islamic terrorism, they are going to have to face the fact that it is driven by a historic Muslim belief in holy war as a means of spreading their religion.
CONCLUSION
Biblical Christianity does not advocate the use of the sword to spread its message of forgiveness from sin by faith alone in Christ alone. The Bible advocates propagation of its message through the preaching of the gospel and verbal persuasion. Of course, Christians have the secret weapons of prayer and the Holy Spirit that works behind the scene in conjunction with the preaching of the gospel.
Is Christianity a religion of peace? Christianity is a religion of peace to those who come to know the grace of God through belief in the gospel message. Christianity is a peaceful religion in that Scripture does not advocate the spread of its message in any way through the sword, but with words only. However, the Bible clearly does teach that God, not mankind, will judge those who reject the gospel message of Jesus, His Son. Paul says the following in 2 Thessalonians 1:6-10: “For after all it is only just for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you, and to give relief to you who are afflicted and to us as well when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire, dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. And these will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, when He comes to be glorified in His saints on that day, and to be marveled at among all who
have believed-for our testimony to you was believed.” Maranatha!d

Wait so if you are Polish and was born there, and your whole family is Polish, why did you change your name to an anglicised version? You are clearly a Pole first and foremost as your accent is heavier than mine, and I don’t even live in the UK anymore.
This is even more weirder considering a lot of muslim convert change their name to an islamic name.
Also, ive met a few Polish people that converted to islam, mainly Polish women who have been converted through marriage to a muslim. As a Pole, this baffles me, because not only is the version of islam that Poles abroad are exposed to RADICALLY different from the culture and social norms in Poland , ( to the point where our native Tatars are against the flow of muslim migration to Poland ), but it’s also radically different to the native islam we have in Poland.
My parents migrated to France in the 80s and gave me an English name saying "everyone will pronounce it the same way across the world" (it didn't work!). Also, as a kid, they refused to teach me Polish because they were scared I would have a Polish accent at school (France at the time didn't like Polish people). So I when I grew up, I bought myself some books and asked my parents to only speak Polish to me. I like my name so I didn't want to change it. Then I moved to the UK for work. And yes, Islam just like Christianity are practised very differently across the world for better or worse. Sadly, politics, culture and people's stupidity don't always help and the message gets lost. Some Muslims don't consider Tatars Muslims because again, people can be judgemental.
@@williambarylo I appreciate your openness and you are definitely a true muslim, i say mashallah to that.
I have encountered Polish parents of your type, and without disrespecting yours, i cannot wrap my head around being so ashamed about who you are, it is selfish and cruel to deprive your child of his/hers true identity. I personally would not forgive my parents for such ‘cowardice’ ( again i hope im not coming across as rude), but i guess islam and by extension Christianity teaches forgiveness first and foremost.
Asalam waleikum akhi
@@vibranium-riprich314 thank you. My parents regretted it because they realised I would pick up a French accent in school anyways. But I think this is an illustration on how some people can easily drop their culture for the sake of validation and acceptance - or perceived safety. My family always perceived the French, the Britsh and the Germans to be "superior" Europeans. The French especially, have this narrative at school and in the media and politics that if you live in France, you need to assimilate abandon your culture. When you are an isolated Polish family and you hear anti-immigrant discourse on TV, I understand it's hard to resist to the pressure. I think it's a form of subtle colonisation of the minds. the problem is then, that people pick up the worst aspect of the host culture, just like my parents became anti-immigrants, while being migrants themselves!
Amazing hour long documentary brother, jazakallah khair.
I've visited Kaunas in Lithuania this winter as well, ma shaa Allah they have such a beautiful mosque there.
Amazing! thank you!
Love your videos, only discovered the channel a few days ago! I am Polish originally and before I married my muslim husband, I actually found that information online and was so blown by it! I am glad, that you try to debunk some of the preconceptions circulating around for way too many centuries really.... will follow closely! And maybe read one or the other book you recommend! (I am a musician playing the Oud, yep... so, "Orientalism" by Edward Said is somewhat of a 'bible' for my field of work)
Thank you! Much appreciated!!
I have a question though: I always avoid using the term 'Middle East', because of the many negative connotations. I discussed it once with my teacher (who is Palestinian) before an interview I had to do, and he said, that 'Near East' seems most neutral and is used by historians. I avoid both, if possible though, somehow settling on 'Levant' for most parts, as this is the focus of my work&context (and there are Arabs, who also reject this, because of historic context and meaning... but the people I work with come from the Levant mostly and really use it themselves) ... but I really wonder how you think of it, being a sociologist, as I understood?
@@dominikamalia i think it's a relevant conversation but I'm not sure i there is a right or wrong answer. I think it's better to use the words people use for themselves. But when explaining to outsiders it can become hard to understand. I had the same problem with words like "religion" to define Islam or "convert" which don't do justice to the reality they try to describe. But still, it's hard to make people change the words they use. So sometimes I simplify, sometimes I give the full explanation. And if people already have a negative opinion, changing words might not even work when they understand what we're talking about!
@@williambarylo thank you! 🙏
Poland used to be a "multiculti" state with policies that allowed foreigners to move to Poland and settle here without hostilities from the state. "The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was immensely multicultural throughout its existence - it comprised countless religious identities and ethnic minorities inhabiting the country's vast territory.". Obviously there were tensions between all those groups, but thats expected if your society is so diverse.
Also something worth noting is that whenever the PLC won battles captured enemies had the choice to join the Polish forces and settle in Poland. This in a small part contributed to the countries insane diversity at that time.
Another thing worth mentioning is that at that time the PLC was way ahead of its time in terms of developing a "pseudo"-democratic state in a world ruled by absolutism. This state failed, because of the Liberum Veto which gave bad actors the power to block important policies the country needed to further develop.
Sadly the diversity of the Polish state was destroyed by Nazi and Soviet ethnical and religious cleansing policies. Arguably Ukraine and its very diverse society is right now what the PLC was back then when it existed.
Agree Poland has such an amazing history!
Not sure we will see that diversity again, as news spreads, so does realities. Illigal immigrants are not looking for work, or to contribute, they expect everything to be given to them. Poland worked too hard to where they're. Right now we have plenty of people that want to immigrate to Poland legally, also educated people that are tired of dodging bullets, crime is on the rise in their country. USA has taken in unacceptable amount of undocumented people from 3rd world countries. They're living in hotels, during, drugs, and peeing all over the place, not to mention other things. Folks are extremely angry for its coming out of their texas, not to mention crimes have already been committed. You give them money, they buy liquor. More are coming over the border.
Ukraine is pretty much about to wipe out its multicultural society.
"Poland used to be a "multiculti" state with policies that allowed foreigners to move to Poland and settle here without hostilities from the state" only for few decades though. People for some reason think PLC throughout it's existence was a liberal, democratic state, where they couldn't be further from the truth

@@williambarylo Indonesia is nice. I was surprised that your family was from Poland, and more surprised that we have more Muslims. I'm aware that some are ASYLUM seekers, and some immigrated permanently from war torn countries. This is the first to my knowledge, of the growing community of MusIims in Poland. I saw your Podcast. Got concerned.
Where I'm currently at, we had some disturbing things happen from a Muslim gentlemen. There also is many more incidents that were very alarming. It's scary. Especially if you learn what Islam religion teaches and what Muslims are doing in other people's countries. Not to mention Afghanistan men selling their babies, little girls to old men so they can feed their son's. It got me, it was painful to read that boy is more important. Wars amongst Iran, Syria and Isis, Afghanistan and Taliban. Looking for some justification, answers.

Thank you!
Polish Tatars have repeatedly proved that they are true Poles by shedding blood for their homeland.
What is interesting, they live where there is the greatest heartland of national movements.
The aversion to Islam is understandable in connection with the immigration crisis and the problems they create in Western European countries, including a very high propensity for social benefits without showing a willingness to work. and a lack of respect for local values.
Poles will not allow themselves to do that, unlike the politically correct countries of Western Europe.
This is also seen in the protection of borders.
When Greece, Italy, Spain let illegal immigrants through like a sieve and EU institutions supported people smugglers, in Poland the border guards did what is their duty czcams.com/video/Qpek20Oh6rU/video.html
Polish people can be very welcoming, especially when they understand the complexity of people's lives. Sadly not everyone, even with fellow Christians. I am waiting to see what will happen when the war in Ukraine is over. Poland has accepted 1.5 million Ukrainians but now you have cities like Kraków where all you see is expensive Mercedes with Ukrainian plates blasting loud music in the streets. People like my parents think Ukrainians are uncivilised people who will stay in Poland to get EU citizenship (even though we have distant family in Lwów and they hosted an Ukrainian family for a few months.)
@@williambarylo Ukrainians in expensive cars are often specialists, so people are very desirable on the labor market. Similarly with students from Arab or African countries who study in Poland but decide not to return to their countries.
The problem is the huge flocks of illegal immigrants I mentioned, without education, without willingness to work, with a language barrier in the region of Central Europe, causing only problems in Western European countries, not wanting to integrate
@@piotrbartnicki6590 I really wish it was just a problem with illegal immigrants. When the UK was in the EU, lots of Polish people came legally to work and set up businesses. Many were educated, speaking English very well, and were qualified workers which helped a lot the British economy. Sadly it didn't prevent British people running campaigns about the "invasion" of "Polski sklepy" and their "backwards culture" who doesn't want to "integrate", and eventually voting Brexit. I had a hard time finding jobs in the UK despite my PhD because I was told I was like "these dirty Polish immigrants who make dodgy driveways and steal your money." The problem was people believed the narrative offered by the media and politicians and only now realise that it was thanks to these Polish people were making British Education, Construction, Agriculture Hospitality and Healthcare work. Britain is now struggling and Poland has become richer thanks to the many families who returned from the UK. And I'm really happy for Poland!
@williambarylo don't forget that most Ukrainians from western Ukraine are ethnic Poles, and we are Catholics. You are wrong that we are different. Until 1939 we belonged to the Poles, and the Soviet Union occupied Poland. I have Polish citizenship and have been speaking Polish since childhood.
@@vladkv4620 you're right! I don't understand why some Polish people don't like Ukrainians. My grandma on my mother side was born in Ukraine and we still have distant family there. Still, my parents have these prejudice. I wish I'd visit at some point
Tatars are peaceful everywhere in Europe.
Thanx for the video .
Thank you for your comments!
Hey Bro... Assalamu Alaikom I am from the Philippines. I'm a muslim by faith and i was planning to work in Poland soon insha'allah. But there's one thing that holds me inside my mind like i was thinking of what would it be like living in Poland as muslim? Are there any islamic centers at least in the country? Wherein i could pray for congregational friday prayer. Alhamdulillah i found your vlog and i feel at ease.
I was born and mostly raised in Poland, as a kid I learned in school about the Tatars. I learned that they were great warriors, they fought for the Polish king and forever earned rights and became officially recognized by the government, in fact there was a certain amount of pride associated with them. Poland is +90% Christian(Roman Catholic) quite a bit less are practicing but, the population in Poland realized that there is a great amount of stability that comes with a homogeneous society. For example, ethnic Russians are practically nonexistent in Poland, Stalin made sure of that, but thanks to that Putin can never invade under the pretext of “saving his precious countrymen”. People in Poland are not afraid of Islam, they are afraid that so many will come that they will institute their own laws, take over towns and even the Police will be afraid to go in there. It’s what’s happening in England and other places in Western Europe.
Thank you for this very informative comment! Much appreciated. I think many people share the same fear of the other, just like in the UK people have a very negative idea of Polish people (who were said of opening Polish shops everywhere and "stealing" the state's money - which lead to Brexit. However, I wonder how these same people will feel about Ukrainians. In one year, there has been 40x more Ukrainians coming to the UK than Muslims in 6 centuries. If you go to Kraków, you already can see lots of very expensive cars with Ukrainian plates blasting music on the streets. My parents think they are uncivilised people (even though we have distant family in Lwów). Although the government decided to help, I wonder how the general public will respond when the war is over and many of these people will settle in Poland.
All very true no wonder that the present Polish government wants to keep their citizens safe by restricting the invasion of alien 3rd world cultures especially the Muslims who, on the whole, do not change or integrate. NO Sharia laws for Poland.
Martin, have you ever lived in USA, if so, visit some Muslim neighborhoods. They're very different compared to TATARS. Go amongst Afghanistans.
@@williambarylo ukrainians aren't the problem. muslims are. and you will be dealt with.
You are voicing a truth about the Tatars. Thank you. Turkic-Tatar people are Muslims, but they do not like Arab mentality and culture. They don't dictate religion to anyone and they don't like it being done to them. The fact that women and children are very valuable in Turkic culture, that we swim in the sea, that we do not cover our heads like 1500 years ago, and that we can live in peace with other religions disturb the Wahhabis. A Jordanian said to me, "You are not a Muslim" because I do not have an Arab name. My own high culture and my very old no-gender language are enough for me. And yes we are legendary warriors male and female. May Allah give us great patience so that we do not one day apply this to our "religious brothers".

@@slawekwojtowicz During communist times in Poland, post-ww1 Poland, protestant reformation times and during the christianization time period of the polish people you were not free to practise certain religions in Poland.
If you can fight for Poland, you can freely live here. Poland was the destination for refugees for centuries. Especially religious f.e. Protestants or Muslims. We had mutual respect with a Muslim country.
Poland is a free country, because we are Catholics. We are free in hearts, so we have been tolerant to all other cultures and religions for ages. They simply represent no threat to us, since we are God's nation. Tolerance however does not include the evil. For example, women in Poland, whatever their beliefs, are not forced to cover their heads, since we consider evil to force anyone wear clothes they don't like. Planning to visit Poland, if you're a Muslim, remember that Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for your sins and mine, rose from the dead and lives forever with our Heavenly Father, has been proclaimed King of Poland. Jesus, who is Son of God, is our Savior. Think about it and have a good time in Poland.
And Mary is the Queen of Poland! Anywhere where people follow the word of God is to be celebrated - and Poland has a special place in my heart.
@nisrmasry8812 I like your positive attitude, nevertheless you are wrong.
Tell this to the catholics in Spain
Covering the head or covering the genitals politely for Muslim women is an obligation, not a crime or coercion because the rules are clear,,,,,Islam respects Jesus are God's messengers, therefore Islam does not need His blood to wash away sins,,,
@nisrmasry8812 First of all, I entirely agree with you that we should avoid generalisations. To accuse Creed based on bad deeds of some followers we need to double-check first:
Was a misdeed done in the name of a Creed? If yes
Did the wrongdoer properly interpreted Creed’s message? If yes
Only then we can say that sth is wrong with the Creed. And this is my point. There are good muslim people (I met some of them in Iran and Turkey) but it is islam, which is the problem. The example of Mohamed is a problem such as: violent jihad, sex slavery, torturing of opponents.
I know that a lot, maybe even the most, muslims are against ISIS or Boko-Haram. Unfortunately we cannot call these barbarians unislamic. They followed the example of Mohamed.
Don’t take it personally. I criticise islam (idea) and not all muslims (people).

That's Saudi Arabian law, not Islam. Just like when they forbade women to drive, kill innocent civilians or assassinate journalists. They make up laws and distort religion to justify it. I think we should boycott Saudi but everyone loves petrol money too much.
Poland is a Catholic country and I hope stays like that. Polish Tatars, despite Muslims belong to Catholic Polish tradition. They are highly respected. They do not have the same values as current immigrants from North Africa nor Bangladesh
Most Poles identify as Catholics. Sadly, the church attendance rates have been dropping and there is increasingly less people who identify as "believers" especially amongst younger generations

On 6 September, Sobieski and his Polish army, which included the hussars, crossed the Danube 19 miles (30km) northwest of Vienna and joined with imperial troops and other forces from territories of the Holy Roman Empire including Saxony and Bavaria.
Leadership was given to Sobieski who was well-known for his courage and great skill in commanding troops. He had under his command 70,000-80,000 soldiers; the Ottoman army numbered 150,000.
The battle started at 04:00 on 11 September when the Ottoman army attacked, hoping to stop the deployment of Sobieski’s troops.
Charles V, Duke of Lorraine, struck back with the imperial army on the left and, after heavy fighting, took several key positions.
Although severely damaged, the Ottoman army held firm and launched counterattacks.
The Ottoman commanders had planned on taking Vienna before the arrival of the Imperial troops. Their soldiers had already dug tunnels under the city walls and set mines to detonate and bring the walls down. Unfortunately for them, the mines were located and disarmed.
By the afternoon, the Polish infantry was advancing on the Ottoman right flank. But, instead of meeting this attack, the Ottomans continued to focus their efforts on forcing their way into the city. This left their troops on the field in a bad position, sandwiched between the Polish and Imperial forces.
Sobieski on the right of the Ottoman army and Charles of Lorraine on the left both decided, independently of each other, to continue the offensive and crush the enemy.
At first, the Imperial forces encountered fierce resistance. Although they were initially stopped, they went on to take at least 2 villages, closing in on the central Ottoman position.
As they prepared to storm the position, they could see the Polish cavalry emerge from the forest.
It is recorded that the emergence of the cavalry was greeted with cheers from the infantry.
At around 17:00, Sobieski ordered the cavalry attack, launching “the largest cavalry charge in history. Some 20,000 horsemen, including 3,000… ‘winged hussars’ swept down from the hills.” (‘A History of War in 100 Battles’ by Richard Overy)
Sobieski himself led the charge at the head of his ‘winged hussars’. The charge broke the enemy lines and proved to be the final blow for the already exhausted and demoralised Ottoman troops.
Less than 3 hours after the cavalry attack, the Imperial forces were victorious, and Vienna was saved.
We Came, We Saw, God Conquered” - Our Lady’s Victory at the Siege of Vienna
King Jan Sobieski knew that the prayers of the Queen of Heaven were far more powerful than any army in the world.
King Sobieski was a devout Catholic. He knew that we have a Mother who prays for us during trials, that the Queen of Heaven’s prayers were far more powerful than any army in the world.
On 16 July, an emperor’s messenger came to Poland to request relief. On 18 July, Sobieski set off with the entire court to Kraków. On the way, he visited the Jasna Góra Monastery. Urged by the Austrians and the Pope to implement the terms of the treaty, he set out with the assembled army to help the Austrian capital. On 20 August 1683, King Jan III Sobieski, on his way to Vienna, wanted to pray in the church in Piekary Śląskie, where he attended a mass and asked for victory in front of the image of Our Lady.
Islam is a way of life with peace, don't fright for cultural changes that'll bring about peace and happiness
@@abdullahparuk1165 you don’t know your religion
We must know the facts. Muslims believe Muhammad (570-632) had visions beginning in 610; in these visions, Allah literally dictated the Koran. (Scholarship shows the Koran is a blending of tenets of Judaism, Christianity, bedouin paganism, and heretical Nestorianism.) By 622, Mecca converted to Islam. Then, the warfare began, and Islam spread by the sword, i.e. jihad. Muhammad’s message was, “He who dies spreading the faith enters paradise.” Islam itself means “submission,” submission of everyone to Allah, Muhammad and the Koran. By his death in 632, Arabia was Islamic.
The Muslims then waged war beyond their borders: Damascus fell in 635, Jerusalem in 638 and Alexandria in 641. By 652, Syria, Palestine, Egypt and Persia had fallen to Islam. By 730, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Pakistan and Spain had fallen. The Muslims would have taken France, but Charles Martel stopped them at the Battle of Tours in 732. Remember: These were all Christian lands that were unjustly attacked. However, the Koran justified these acts: “True believers fight for the cause of God, but the infidels fight for the devil. Fight, then, against the friends of Satan” (Sura 4:76); “Believers, make war on the infidels who dwell around you. Deal firmly with them. Know that God is with the righteous” (Sura 9:123); and “Muhammad is God’s apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another” (Sura 48:28). Keep in mind that the Koran has 164 verses devoted to jihad, the waging of “holy war” against non-believers, i.e. infidels.
Then, what happened when the Christians were now under Islamic government? The choice was convert, leave or face persecution. They were forced to pay an onerous tax call the jizya. At times, they could not leave the village or own property or a horse. They could not testify as a witness because their word was not accepted against that of a Muslim. They were forbidden to build new churches, repair old ones or even ring the bells. Many of the sacred shrines in the Holy Land were desecrated or destroyed. They had to wear distinctive clothing marking them as “infidels.”

thank you, really appreciate it!
@@williambarylo Always Welcome Dear
Asslamalaikum. Thank you brother for this historical knowledge about original polish Muslims.
thank you!
"original polish muslims" lmao🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 That sounds like ORIGINAL OILY WATER!🤣 It looks like you know nothing about Poland, its Christian heritage and Sobieski!
Thank you for sharing this very informative video. I have strong ancestry from Poland. I was very happy to learn about Muslims in Poland.
P.S. In my neighborhood live "right-wing working-class rabble" and workers from Pakistan, whose wives wear traditional Muslim clothes. No problem, they play football together. Maybe it's about whether someone brings something to the community or wants to live on unemployment benefits (at the expense of those working-class "suckers" working hard in factories)? If you're not "ok" with your neighbors, they'll resent you for everything you're different from them.No we won't be polite, we'll be honest and brutal because that's who we are.
That makes perfect sense! That's why, I think, people in large cities who have interactions with real people are generally more understanding, and people living in the countryside have more difficulty trusting newcomers. Prof Katarzyna Górak-Sosnowska calls this "platoniczna islamofobia" (talking about Muslims, in 2012). I always found it curious why they would choose Poland though. Poland is beautiful and people are honest but the language is more difficult to learn than English, German or French, it's not in the Euro zone and benefits are less than in France or northern Europe. I don't think someone would put themselves in such a situation if they expect an easy life.
@@williambarylo In 2023, it is not at all obvious whether "the benefits of living in Germany and France are greater than in Poland." We currently have over a million Ukrainians who have it very well calculated - they themselves have been saying for years that they will earn more in Poland. The cost of living in Germany is 4 times higher, while a newcomer can earn only 2 times more than in Poland (according to Ukrainians). If your goal is to work and not to live on benefits, and you have a family with you (you cannot save on food, accommodation, soap, etc.), then you choose Poland. As for those Pakistanis, they didn't so much choose Poland as Poland chose them. These are specialist employees selected and tested by recruitment centers of Polish companies in Pakistan in terms of their practical skills, and not "welder certificates", for example, as is the case in Germany
@@pawemarciniak4929 It all makes sense, very informative! Thank you
May Allah bless you brother, and bless the Polish Muslims, Ameen

Witold was a Grand Duke of Lithuania. There was never a title of "duke of Poland Lithuania". There was a Polish - Lithuanian Commonwealth later in history but the ruler of it was named was "King of Poland, Grand Duke of Lithuania, and a duke of few other lands). Tatars did not originate from Crimea. First people who were settled in Lithuania were political refugees and POWs from Golden Horde. Crimean Khanate came later and Tatars in Crimean Khanate arrived there with Mongol invasions. They were not native to the region. Now there is as native to Crimea as they can be because of intermixing with the real natives and other people native to Crimea migrating their descendants not maintaining their identity. Tatars on the modern Polish lands moved from Grand Duchy of Lithuania in various periods. The main hub of Polish Tatars - Kruszyniany is land granted to them by king Jan Sobieski in 1679 for military service.
I am not sure if you are gonna read this but I want you to know that I respect you
Muslims and Christians are brothers because Christian God and Allah are the one Thing. We just name Him differently and worship in different ways. But still God is Great !
Peace and Love brother from Poland
And I forgotten to add... It's not that Poles are racist or anti-muslims
It's that we just don't like to be interrupted in our way of living ... and it no mater who you are ... If you respect that you have a great time here.
People say that Poles don't want immigrants
This need to be corrected
We don't want ILLIGAL immigrants but rest is welcomed with open hands.
And of course there may be some hard heads that may cause some trouble but this is marginal. Be sure that if you make some Polish friends and some hard head would start to say something against you that would hurt you, Those friends would surly back you up
@@MordorSauronus Thank you. I believe goodness has no religion and no culture. Whoever is a good person I can consider as a friend!
@@williambarylo That is well said
My cousin married a polish lady ,she stayed with him for a while here in India and later fled with their infant...sad story
I'm sad to hear that. I hope he will find better people
Polish woman in India, no good. They're accustomed to luxuries, that some countries don't provide.
@@williambarylo She is the one, who had reason to flee, so perhaps she needs better people.
super informative and concise, great work!

Very good coverage of Poland Muslims, thanks a lot.
Thank you

To whom would you like to say that?
@@williambarylo you 😂 bro
@@islamicattitudestatus6141 I try very hard to understand some comments but sometimes I can't figure out. I guess sometimes people just speak their heart and maybe I'm overthinking
@@williambarylo to everyone
Nope. And btw your ancestors were probably forced to accept Islam. That's how it spread
Przeworsk culture - The Przeworsk culture (Polish pronunciation: [ˈpʂɛvɔrsk]) was an Iron Age material culture in the region of what is now Poland, that dates from the 3rd century BC to the 5th century AD.[1] It takes its name from the town Przeworsk, near the village where the first artifacts were identified.
In its earliest form it was located in what is now central and southern Poland, in the upper Oder and Vistula basins. It later spread southwards, beyond the Carpathians, towards the headwaters of the Tisza river, and eastwards, past the Vistula, and towards the headwaters of the Dniester.
The earliest form of the culture was a northern extension of the Celtic La Tène material culture which influenced much of continental Europe in the Iron Age, but it was also influenced by other material cultures of the region, including the Jastorf culture to its west. To the east, the Przeworsk culture is associated with the Zarubintsy culture.
Early settlements, economy and burials in Poland
Slavic archaeological cultures c. 700 AD
In Poland, the earliest archeological sites considered Slavic include a limited number of 6th-century settlements and a few isolated burial sites. The material obtained there consists mostly of simple, manually formed ceramics, typical of the entire early Slavic area. It is on the basis of the different varieties of these basic clay pots and infrequent decorations that the three cultures are distinguished.[24] The largest of the earliest Slavic (Prague culture) settlement sites in Poland that have been subjected to systematic research is located in Bachórz, Rzeszów County, and dates to the second half of 5th through 7th centuries

Thank you! I love Norway!
There are no indigenous Muslims, nor indigenous christians in Europe. Indigenous nations of Europe were pagan.
Geneticists say that there's no indigenous humans outside of Africa. But that's their opinion.
@@williambarylo good point ...
See lot of great work here👍👍
Thank you!
Welcome to our family, Islam. Alhamdulillah. From Malaysia.
Thank you. I love Malaysia
Bobby's perspective bought me here. Alhumdulillah, it's nice to know there's Muslims in other parts of Europe aswell. ❤
Who's Bobby and what's his perspective???
❤❤❤
Dlatego zachodnie media krzywdza Polaków nazywajac nacjonalistami czy rasistami. Wyznajemy jedna zasade dla wszystkich , Polska to jest nasz dom, chcesz tu byc dostosuj sie i szanuj wszystko co dla nas ważne. Chcesz byc szanowany szanuj nas , nasze wierzenia,kulture i tradycję. Wtedy kraj bedzie rozkwitał a ludzie beda szczęśliwi😊❤
Very informative, thank you
Thank you!
Respect poland for not becoming another france by peaceful community.
Europeans aren't allowed to call themselves indigenous even if they date back to the Bronze Age, so I don't know why these 14th century immigrants can be called indigenous.
Is it the media who said that? If you are in the field of History or Sociology, there are fields that study indigenous Europeans.
But I understand there's another perspective people can argue. Since humanity originated in Africa, can humans be indigenous to other parts of the world?
@@williambarylo Not the media, the UN. The Wikipedia article on "Indigenous Peoples" says: "Various ethnic groups have lived in Europe for millennia. However, the UN recognizes very few Indigenous populations within Europe, which are confined to the far north and far east of the continent."
@@andysee6045 you have probably seen that there are multiple definitions and there's no one unique definition shared by every institution, involving lots of disciplines from History to genetics. When does a group of people earn or lose their 'indigenous' status? Is the term 'indigenous' actually relevant from a scientific point of view? I'm sure there are historians who argue that the term should be abandoned altogether. However flawed, it can simplify conversations, by meaning people who settled in the area at a time when Poland was in the process of defining its borders.
@@williambaryloWell you must be consistent at least. You must agree the Anglo Saxons are indigenous, right?
@@andysee6045 I don't really care about the Anglo Saxons
There are indiginous muslims in Albania, Kosovo, Bosnia Herzegovina, Bosnia, Serbia, Croatia, Bulgaia and even Poland.. kool. Islam has been in europe since the middle ages and before, Huge populations of indigionous muslims from Greece, Romania, SPain Portugal ROmania etc has been banished from Europe mid and post world war 1.
