I have no idea about this, but one of the problems of having ethnic

What has historically happened is foreigners come here to get away
from the feuds and bigotry in their own country, and then the bigots,
hatemongers and "religious" leaders follow them to ensure the feuds
and bigotry follow them.

Does that explain why a fair few of the Polish hate Muslims and aren't affraid to show it.


Given how long such hatreds last, it is probably a legacy of the Thirty
Years' War.
