Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to analyse Muslim groups in social media in terms of the functions they play in thelives of Muslims, especially the Muslim women living in Poland. The Muslim community is not significant inPoland, so interpersonal contacts in real life may be difficult. Muslims, especially Muslim women experienceoppression and discrimination in everyday life, so the Internet can be a place where they will seek understandingand support as well as a way to solve their own problems. There are potentially many areas where the Internet,and especially social media will support Muslim women. To discover them, the contents of selected Facebookgroups targeted at Muslims and Muslim women will be analysed.
