New York City May Now Have More Muslims Than Jews
The Editors ^ | Sep 01, 2025 | Ira Stoll

It’s close, but Muslims in New York may now outnumber Jews.

It’s a demographic race with political implications.

Analysts trying to understand why Canada, Britain, and France are moving to recognize a Palestinian state have pointed to demographic shifts and growing Muslim populations in those countries.

The Canadian government reported this year that “the proportion of Canada’s population who reported being Muslim has more than doubled in 20 years,” to “4.9% (1,775,715 people) in 2021” from “2.0% (579,640 people) in 2001.”

In Britain, the census reported that the Muslim population in England and Wales had soared to “3.9 million, 6.5% in 2021, up from 2.7 million, 4.9% in 2011.” During the same period, the Christian population fell to 46.2% from 59.3%.

In France, recent statistics put Muslims at 10 percent of the population, with Christians at 38 percent.

The New York City story is more complicated to piece together. In the U.S., unlike in many other countries, the federal government does not collect religious affiliation data. But there’s mounting, if less than 100 percent conclusive, evidence that America’s largest city matches the global trend of Islam gaining ground owing in part to birth rates and migration.

It’s a disease as bad as liberalism.

After Mamdani is elected, that certainly will be the case.

So it’s not ‘Hymietown’ anymore? Someone alert Jesse Jackson.

The biggest difference is that nearly ALL Muslims are on some type of welfare, while very few Jews are on the dole.

Import third world, become third world.

The birthrate realities are powerful.

They cluster in certain states, too. NY 3.6% muslim population. Illinois and New Jersey about 3.7%. Michigan 2.8% (which matters a lot in a swing state).

Trump carried the Michigan muslims for reasons the media never locked on. It was not Israel and the Pals. It was LGBTQblahblah stuff. They are intensely opposed religiously to sexual deviancy.

It takes a truly crazy country to import it’s very own cancer.
Islam IS cancer.

I just looked it up.

No evidence Muslims disproportionately receive welfare, SNAP or Section 8 govt subsidies.

The error seems to derive from a myth that Muslim men with multiple wives can collect more government benefits for the multiple wives. This proves to be not true. Men are cross matched and since polygamy is illegal in the US, any such claim is discarded.

Mostly, what defines a declaration of “normal” incidence of Muslims in benefits collection is the huge claim totals out of the deep South (black and white Christians) and Appalachia (white Christians). These areas traditionally lead in collecting govt benefits.

Interesting that Mamdani is more popular in Manhattan and Brooklyn than other boroughs.

If you're a business owner of a bodega in the Bronx, you're more likely to vote for Cuomo.

I’ll wager he has no cutesy nickname for Muslims that he’d be willing to make public.

Lots of Muslims coming in, but also Jews have quietly been leaving one family at a time for many years now.

I think the orthodox Jews have been moving to New Jersey.

Any wonder why the Dems have turned on the Jews? This should be a lesson for any Jew who thinks that voting Democrat creates a secular society that is safe for them.

If you’re talking about committed, serious-about-their-faith, muslims and Jews, it isn’t even close.

"It’s a disease as bad as liberalism."

It's a disease OF liberalism; even for republicans like George W Bush who welcomed moose-limbs after 9/11.

The ignorance and naïveté of our elected representatives regarding the conquest by islam is mind-boggling.

Exactly. The moslem birth rates are a demographic problem that cannot be ignored.
