The progress is slow, because construction began without state or local government subsidies, and funds are running low. Another problem is the mosque in Bohoniki. Since it dates back to the mid-19th century and is considered a historical monument, any renovation for pilgrims requires consent from the local authorities. Wider access to the mass media would certainly augment Poles' knowledge about this little-known community, but getting to the media seems to be more difficult than building a mosque. Selim Chazbijewicz's idea of guaranteeing Tartars one seat in the Sejm seems totally unrealistic in this context.
People are still baffled when they see a Muslim woman on the bus.
Less misunderstanding and more respect is what Polish Muslims need whether they have been here for centuries or just years.
