No Muslim ghettos exist in the US Jersey City Heights (NJ) Bay Ridge, Brooklyn (NY) and Dearborn (MI) all have "Muslim Ghettos," but they are a small portion of larger neighborhoods/towns. Its been my experience that Arabs and Pakistanis (the two Muslim immigrant groups I have lived around) tend to settle in older areas no longer popular with young, white, native-born families, usually settling alongside Asians, Latinos, Carribeans and other immigrant groups.

Another Muslim ghetto would be the Southwest Suburbans of Cook County, IL. Chicago Metro Towns like Burbank and Bridgeview were once blue collar white Catholic communities. Now they look like the Gaza Strip. There are restaurants and grocery stores with signs in Arabic. Plus, the shopping malls are full of women (mostly the older generation) dressed in hi jab - the Muslim veil.
A few weeks ago, I was driving around in that neighborhood with a friend who got back from Iraq. After observing the cultural flavor of Bridgeview, IL, he joked, "It feels like I haven't left Iraq."
