What is it about?
The MZR is the oldest Islamic religious organization in Poland – it was established by Polish-Lithuanian Muslim Tatars in 1925. After the introduction of Islamic religious education to public schools in 1919 and reintroduction in 1992, one of the main problems seemed to be the lack of proper, modern textbooks. Even though some new textbooks have been published after 1990, they do not cover the whole course of Islamic religious education and the number of copies is insufficient, so the pre-1939 textbooks are still in use, even if they are outdated. Most of the new textbooks published in recent years are translations from foreign languages – from Bosnian, Turkish (through Russian or English) or Arabic.
