對波蘭右翼六萬反伊斯蘭示威的幕後報導
Like hundreds of thousands of her compatriots, Anna Lachowska left
her native Poland shortly after its accession to the EU in the hope of finding
opportunity elsewhere in the bloc.
The journey
first took her to Ireland, then the Czech Republic, and later to the UK
where she spent a decade living in the capital London.
It was
there that she underwent a spiritual transformation leaving the Christianity of
her upbringing behind for a faith few in her native land knew much about.
"Islam showed me God like I had always felt I seen," she
told Al Jazeera, describing how the decision prompted a reaction of
disappointment from her mother.
Initially heated conversations about Islam, however, turned more
conciliatory and eventually Lachowska's mother came to defend her daughter's
decision.
"Whenever she is on the phone with some relatives from
Poland, if they say something 'anti-Islamic', she bravely argues with them,
defends Islam, defends my choice, alhamdulillah (thank God)." (因為在英國入教的波蘭人)
