American Medinas: Turning US Cities Into ‘Beachheads’ for Islam
Real Clear Investigations ^ | 8/25/26 | Paul Sperry

Posted on 08/28/2026 6:35:02 AM PDT by CFW

Founded by Alexander Hamilton as the first industrial city in America, Paterson, N.J.,  is now home to America’s largest Palestinian community and largest proportion of Muslim residents. Today, New Jersey’s third-largest city is effectively run by its 30,000 Muslims, some of whom say they don’t need to learn English because it’s like living “back home” in an Arab city.  

[snip]

In June 2023, Paterson Mayor Andre Sayegh signed a sister city agreement with the mayor of Ramallah, a city in the West Bank and the seat of power of the Palestinian Authority, which officially celebrates the killing of Israelis. And last year during a ceremony kicking off Ramadan, he declared his city the “capital of Palestine in the United States of America” and the “fourth-holiest city” in Islam. “We are 100% halal!” Sayegh gushed, meaning pure and lawful under Islam. The mayor even agreed to hang a sign at the city entrance that reads: “Welcome to Little Palestine.” 

Paterson is just one of several American cities – which also includes Hamtramck and Dearborn in Michigan – now controlled by Muslims; followers of Islam also exert outsized influence in some larger cities such as Minneapolis and New York.

As is also the case in Western Europe, assimilation is demonstrably rare in U.S. municipalities with heavy concentrations of Muslim migrants. In these areas, large influxes of Muslims from abroad have changed not only the complexion, culture, values and traditions of cities, but also the demographic makeup of city councils, school boards, police departments and courts. Muslim officials, in turn, have changed laws or how existing laws are enforced to conform to the tenets of Islam – an unwelcome trend for many non-Muslims and particularly Jews threatened by their militantly anti-Israel rhetoric and positions.

Excellent article!

We need to see a reversal of Islam taking over entire cities and communities and establishing itself in our government leadership nationwide. If not, within the next ten years our country will be no more.

“Will US young women like to wear burkas and be subject to males?”

If they think it shows their virtue, they’d do it, at least for a while. Then they’d find it’s no longer optional.

Islam is, at its root, supremacist, sexist and militant. Only where it is poorly practiced is there some sense of “we can live together.” The militant, virulent form cannot live with ruling over others. This includes its own schismatic groups which fight against one another.

” it’s like living “back home””

They left s holes because they are s hole people and love living in s holes. Islam is a scourge. Every Muslim, must be denaturalize and deported. They are not compatible with....anything. It is for low IQ inbred pedo tribal savages. It has been in a constant state of war with everything since its founding. The hubris of modern idiot white self hating ‘leaders’ is astounding. And suicidal.

And we point our fingers at the UK and say, “Look at that.! Boy, the UK is really foolish to allow such a thing as that to happen.”

We used to have an educational system and media messaging that pushed immigrants from any country - including Islamic countries - to integrate into the US and adhere to US values. The message was that immigrants shed their old beliefs and took on new American beliefs, which are better than what they left behind. When it comes to Islam, that clearly is the case when it comes to so many archaic beliefs. But that system broke down starting in the 1960s and now its exactly the opposite. So we get immigration not just creating “American Medinas” but the same thing with Latino communities in the Southwest. Balkanization.

Apparently many Americans continue to embrace suicidal empathy towards anything and anyone who despises civility, despises lawfulness, despises normal American way of life and so forth. The way out of this is becoming less and less pretty. Prepare to buckle up on short notice. They want you and your family to not exist. Good luck.

“This is perhaps no more evident than in Paterson, where elected American officials annually raise the Palestinian flag. Several years ago, Paterson’s Muslim-majority city council voted to change existing noise regulations to allow the city’s dozen mosques to blast out the Islamic call to prayer five times a day – from before dawn to after dusk. The move has incensed some non-Muslim neighbors, including one who recently entered a nearby mosque to complain about the noise. “Everybody’s not Muslim here,” the man yelled. “I don’t want to hear that s-— every day.”

Paterson’s largest mosque – the Islamic Center of Passaic County – is run by a radical cleric whose brother-in-law was a senior Hamas commander in the West Bank, where he orchestrated a number of suicide bombings against Israelis. Before immigrating to the U.S. from Jordan, this leading Paterson imam, Mohammad Qatanani, served time in an Israeli prison for his own confessed ties to Hamas. Yet he was presented the keys to the city by Paterson’s mayor in 2024. “

I'm diversifying my portfolio and investing in Rattan Canes. I think they
will become big sellers.

Was Fifty Shades of Grey by the English author a popular novel in the U.S.?

Forty years ago I had some friends I visited in Palos Heights, Illinois, in the southwest suburbs of Chicago. Just a normal suburban area. They moved, so I didn’t have a reason to go back there. Twenty years ago, the toll way was jazzed up on the way to work one day, so I cut through Palos. It was full of Middle Eastern businesses. Today, that area is known as “Little Palestine.” Middle Eastern candidates are starting to run for office there, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see a Tlaib or El-Sayed eventually emerge from there.

..and be subject to males..

Not just "subject." According to some of those islamofascists, their instruction manual (aka "koran") commands them to beat their wives. I wonder if your typical (American liberal female cheerleader for iSlime) will like that?
