Poland probes mosque attack, far-right 'gallows' protest


About a dozen windows were shattered overnight at the Muslim center, which opened in 2015 and includes a mosque, a meeting center, a shop and a restaurant. "I am 100 percent sure this was a racist, anti-Muslim attack," Muslim community leader imam Youssef Chadid told a news conference. The protesters hung pictures of six European Parliament lawmakers from Poland who have supported a resolution condemning the government on symbolic gallows. Prime Minister Beata Szydlo condemned this "act of aggression and intolerance" and insisted the lawmakers were safe in Poland. The President of the European Parliament, Antonio Tajani, said on Twitter that he would write to Szydlo "to ensure the security of elected Members of the European Parliament to express their opinions independently, without threat."
