Well, there is an organization on Long Island that's comprised mainly of Shia' Muslims, which was highlighted by Stephen Schwarz in the wake of 9/11 for their work to confront terrorists-and terrorist sympathizers in America-through the espousal of moderate Islamic principles.

I'm not sure, but there may even be groups linked to the al-Khoei Foundation, which is a British-based think tank/philanthropic organization that is dedicated to preserving the memory of Majed al-Khoei-an Iraqi cleric who was hacked to death on the orders of Moqtada al-Sadr-in the United States.

As far as Brooklyn is concerned, I don't think that there are many other Shia' groups, though I'm sure there are a few Pakistani immigrants-most likely ones that own and operate bodegas/corner stores-who are not Sunni.

The unfortunate part of it is that most of the Iranians living in or around New York City are probably connected in some way or other to the Iranian government.

Nope, there aren't that many cute Persian chicks hanging around my neck of the woods, unfortunately.

And just in case anyone was wondering, I am the official the marja of this thread. Yes, the font of wisdom and clarity.

My title cannot be challenged!

BEWARE THE BLACK TURBAN, YAZID!

-good times, G.J.P.(Jr.)
