Bruce S Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 [img]http://www.jasnagora.pl/polski/12980.jpg[/img] Al Qaeda plans to strike the spiritual heart of Poland, Our Lady of Jasna Góra The Polish security forces have been put on high alert the Internal Security Agency (Polish FBI) warning that Al Qaeda plans to hit the Monastery on the Bright Mount (Jasna Góra) in Czestochowa /chenstoh`hovah/ Poland during the coming Easter. To protect the Shrine and the security of the pilgrims, the Polish authorities decided to mobilize additional police and military forces. The Monastery is a home to Our Lady of Chestochowa, the Icon of the Mother of God, known as the Black Madonna. For more than 600 years, Jasna Góra has been the holiest place in Poland, both in religious and patriotic terms, and considered the spiritual heart of the Polish people.

willguy Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Oh my goodness. I pray that this does not happen. I don't know why, but I've developed a love for Our Lady of Chestochowa (I'm not Polish, so I don't really know why, but I have). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PedroX Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Poland was one of the few countries to actually send troops into Iraq when we invaded. Al Qaeda wants to punish them, just as they punished Spain. peace... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearby, located on the main local Polish youth "drag strip" is an Islamic center (used to be a Pentecostal church...go figure). If Al Qaeda did attack Jasna Gora, I wouldn't want to be in that part of the neighborhood. Interesting tidbit: it was a Polish king, Jan Sobieski, that led the forces that repelled the Turkish siege of Vienna in 1683, stopping an Islamic advance in Eastern Europe.
