A Muslim's take on recent terrorist attacks in Europe

“We really have to consider [the attacks] in the light of what is happening in North Africa [among other factors],” says Andrzej Saramowicz, president of Rumi Foundation of Poland and School of Sufi Teaching and co-president of the Common Council of Muslims and Catholics in Poland. “First of all, Libya as a state is collapsing, Iraq does not practically exist,” he adds.

“I think the situation connected with the refugees and crimes committed by Western powers – these things altogether may have an effect on people and how they feel about civilization they live in,” Saramowicz told Radio Poland’s Michal Orzechowski.
