Look: Fans Just Took A HUGE Stand For Christianity At Major Sporting Event, Muslims FURIOUS
Soccer, politics and religion go together in Poland.
Polish soccer fans unfurled several statement banners Sunday at the Silescian Wroclaw match against Poznan. One was a 100-foot wide banner hung behind a goal that read “Let Us Stand in Defence of Christianity.”
The banner, written in traditional Polish script, was intended, at least in part, to oppose migration of Islamic refugees into the country. Another banner, estimated to be 50 feet tall and 75 feet wide, proclaimed a strong anti-immigration message. The hand-painted sheet illustrated migrants preparing to land on Europe’s southern shore in boats. The boats were named USS Hussein, USS Bin Laden and USS ISIS. A giant crusader, with a sword and a shield showing the crest of the Silesian Wroclaw football club, was defending Europe from invading jihadists in the drawing.

Those living in Poland know the Wroclaw football club to be one of the most politically active in the country. Matches often feature banners with anti-Communist messages, and fans get involved in making the political statements. Soccer fan scarves are represented with the team’s crest, Poland and anti-Islamic symbols.
Waves of refugees from the war-ravished portions of the Middle East are prompting controversy throughout Europe, but is particularly disconcerting to those in central and eastern European countries like Poland, Hungary and Bulgaria. Approximately 8,000 refugees are pouring into European countries a day from Syrian and other war-torn countries.
Germany is leading western Europe in accepting the refugees, but other countries including Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Bulgaria are refusing to allow them to enter their countries in spite of EU quotas. Poland has agreed to take 7,000 of the Middle Eastern refugees over a two-year period. While some are critical of the country agreeing to such a low number, Poland’s demographics indicate that even any increase in the Muslim population is a major change.
Currently, Muslims make up only .1 percent of Poland’s population. The country is 98 percent white, with 94 percent of people claiming the Catholic faith.
