- Opis:
- Islam is one of the fastest growing religion among population around the world, particularly in Africa, South and North America and Europe. Nowadays The Muslim community is estimated over 1,2 bln people. The biggest Muslim country is not that of Middle East, but East-Asian Indonesia with population around 240 mln. There is also Muslim minority in India represented by 150 mln people. The population of the biggest Arab state – Egyt is over 80 mln. Islam is also a religion of polish society. Community of Tartars has lived on polish soil since 14th century. They participated in the most important historical occurrences in Poland: during the glorious centuries of Polish-Lithuanian Unity or the formation of Polish Army during the First World War. When Poland regained independence in 1918, many univeristies developed islamic or oriental studies like Warsaw Univeristy, Jagiellonian University of Cracow, Lvov University. Professors who started to research Arab, Persian or Turkish issues made a stable foundation for oriental studies in Poland. Since then there is a long-lasting tradition of Arab, Persian or Turkish studies in our country. However, in the current times due to political issues and existing tensions between the world of Islam and the West, especially after attacks on USA in September 2001, Muslims are associated generally with terrorism, war, suicide-bombings or jihad. This was the main reason to make a survey among students of political science at the University of Gdansk to see what is their opinion on Muslims – Arabs and Tatars and if they have negative or rather positive approach to Islam.
