from egypt to warsaw several years ago however he says it's been hard to settle in . i only do freelance jobs because it's very difficult for me to find any permanent work and it's not because i'm not skilled because my applications are turned to soon as employers learn that my name is mohammed. omar roland has long been a mono ethnic nation with the muslim community less than one percent of the population most of them are ethnic talks are swear have been here for centuries but ahead of warsaw's only islamic center says the number of migrants from muslim countries is growing rapidly the. right sort of this mosque almost twenty years ago and the several dozen people were coming here for prayer now the friday prayer gathers hundreds and the building simply cannot fit everyone. news of another islamic center to be built in warsaw was welcomed by the nation's thirty thousand strong minority construction of

a new second mosque in warsaw began last year according to blue brains it is supposed to be three times as large as the initial islamic center but unlike the first mosque which was sponsored by the local muslim community this one was financed from abroad. and. the fact that construction money came from saudi arabia enraged several political movements in poland they staged protests urging the government to stop what they call islam isolation of the countries keep the man behind the rally says it is the fewer for terrorism but people on the streets believe that this is going to just. which is going to build this mosque on in war so he's connected to the for the nation of islam if you're going to say she knew it all the other organisation which are members of. the notion of going fishing off europe. and western europe from the right because

that's not from want to semitic states much from connection to terrorism the rally gathered several hundred men and was little surprised the politicians this is an influence of what is happening to western european countries i mean everybody here wants to know what was happening in perry in france in another france it is. the threat from the fundamentalists from the terrorists after all and they decided to participate in iraq and afghanistan operations sociologists say most crowley slipped a fuse for a time bomb. for now the city college age is more or less comes down by the presence of european human rights activists as the number of immigrants grows this may well be not enough to keep the protests down i believe we're facing a serious conflict in the future at the moment only around three percent of the country is off already gen but with more immigrants coming to poland the

anticipated brighter future with the european union could be clouded by worries of ethnic tension. alexy russia ski r.t. reporting from warsaw in poland. blastoff that baikonur. find out how to cope with keeping the latest mission to the international space station in the family that's coming your way in a few minutes from now here. into an intelligence officials and senior pakistan diplomats accuse the u.s. of crying wolf after issued a terror alert for europe earlier this week the u.k. guardian newspaper it goes on to allege the actual purpose of the in this was to justify a recent increase in drone attacks inside pakistan well the american german historian f. william says the timing of the terror and it has led to a christening of u.s.

money seeds. intelligence experts around the world agree that most terrorism is state sponsored terrorism so you have to ask which state is benefiting kui bono from the constant warnings about al qaeda attacks here and there and it seems very convenient that just when europe is expressing grave doubts about the nato mission in afghanistan that these these warnings come about these new attacks and the only sources we have are u.s. intelligence interrogators the presence in afghanistan has done nothing to make the world more secure and it certainly done nothing to make afghanistan more a more stable i have afghani friends who tell me inside reports of what's going on with the with the u.s. soldier presence there and we are propping up nato is propping up a government the karzai government which is the largest opium warlord on the planet ninety three percent of all the heroin and that's developed since the u.s.

occupation in two thousand and one so when asked to ask when the official u.s. policy is no interdiction and destruction of opium fields in afghanistan which the taliban actually did. what's going on here is this another vietnam where the cia's running drugs to finance terrorism spread the war into laos and cambodia is that what we're doing in kyrgyzstan and manas air base and so forth and these are some very serious questions that ought to be looked at i think. and as historian f. william mentioned there the drug trade remains a massive problem for afghanistan and the neighboring countries russia's top driving forces says the u.s. led campaign has only made the matter worse. of the nine years of the u.s. campaign in afghanistan shows more fighting equals less chance to destroy the narcotics business only the government capable of ruling the country based on the population supports can solve the drug problem when american say you can't leave

the peasants without their only way of income giving a sign to the afghan authorities to keep out of the opium business because those left without cash work turn to the taliban for support but this is just an excuse. and by the way you can see the full interview with the head of russia's narcotics agency on our website that's r.t. dot com and online all the time and also will be broadcasting that interview in its entirety on sunday. the nuclear powered russian icebreaker bound for the north pole is involved in the year long explanation scientists on board are searching for an ice floe where they can conduct research it's hoped the study will help russia's claim to the territory. went to meet the crew preparing for a lonely and dangerous mission. at the top of the world nothing new for the likes of arctic veteran russia's. he's
