The research is dedicated to a large spectrum of issues, including attitudes towards Muslims as displayed by students of three major public academic institutions in Białystok, i.e. University of Białystok, Medical University of Białystok and Białystok University of Technology. The data was collected via a standardized questionnaire, allowing for the answers to be systematically compared and contrasted. The module of the research which is presented in this article refers to contextualized scenarios related to respondents’ approval of the expression of the creed and everyday practices which are grounded in Islamic tradition.
