The Islamization Of American Towns: New Jersey's First Islamic City Is A Warning.
Amy Mek, March 8, 2025
A shocking transformation is unfolding in Paterson, New Jersey, where local officials are rapidly reshaping the city into an Islamic stronghold. Once a beacon of American industry and blue-collar resilience, Paterson has become a case study in how unchecked Islamic immigration, demographic shifts, and political pandering can erode a city's original identity.
Islamic Officials, Islamic Agenda
Muslim elected leaders with deep ties to radical Islamic organizations are prioritizing Islamic identity over American values, steering Paterson away from its historical roots. Every policy change, symbolic gesture, and political appointment moves the city closer to becoming an Islamic enclave.
Hilal Lighting Ceremony: A Symbol of Islamic Dominance
The latest development? The Hilal Lighting Ceremony, a city-endorsed event marking Ramadan, held in the heart of "Little Palestine"--Palestine Way. This was no mere religious event but a thinly veiled political rally for Palestinian nationali
Officially renamed in 2022, Palestine Way cements Paterson's transformation into a de facto Palestinian enclave, complete with flags, street signs, and businesses mirroring the very nations many residents supposedly fled. The area is home to an estimated 15,000 Arabs, dominated by Palestinian presence. Main Street, now a mile-and-a-half-long strip lined with Palestinian flags, Arabic signs, and halal restaurants, is more than cultural representation--it is a territorial claim.
Political Overreach Disguised as Religious Celebration
This pro-Palestine event was spearheaded by left-wing Mayor Andre Sayegh, Islamic Councilmen Shahin Khalique, MD Forid Uddin, and Ibrahim Omar, and Islamic Deputy Mayor Raed Odeah--leaders who have made catering to Islamic interests a defining feature of their governance. The event's oversized crescent moon, publicly displayed for 30 days, is not about Ramadan--it is a symbol of Islamic political dominance in America.
Their governance raises critical questions: Are these officials serving the public interest, or are they using their positions to build an Islamic parallel society?
Radical Sponsors Pushing an Islamic Agenda
The event was backed by many groups with concerning histories:
Islamic Center of Passaic County (ICPC) - A mosque known for radical sermons. Imam Baker Assaf has acknowledged that Islamic law prescribes throwing homosexuals off roofs but claims they refrain from doing so in America because it is not an Islamic country. Imam Mohamed Hassaballa has called Christians 'idolaters' and spoken about Muslims 'overtaking disbelievers.' Hamas-linked CAIR official Ayman Aishat has used the mosque to solicit donations while demonizing U.S. politicians and defending pro-Palestinian activism.
Omar Ibn Al-Khattab Mosque - A religious institution with previous ties to controversy.
Palestinian American Community Center (PACC) - An activist group lobbying for radical pro-Palestinian policies in Paterson.
National Arab American Medical Association (NAAMA) - While presented as a professional medical organization, NAAMA has engaged in advocacy efforts that extend beyond healthcare, aligning itself with pro-Palestinian political movements and using its platform to promote activism that favors Islamic and Palestinian interests over American policies.
Palestinian American Community Center (PACC): this group is not simply a cultural or social organization--it is a political entity pushing a radical pro-Palestinian/Hamas agenda while operating within the United States. It has actively lobbied for pro-Palestinian policies, organized radical demonstrations, and served as a platform for dangerous anti-Israel and anti-Jewish activism.
These are not merely cultural or religious organizations; they are activist entities leveraging their influence to solidify Paterson as an Islamic enclave and normalize political Islam in America.
Mayor Sayegh's Speech: Boasting About Islam's Stronghold in Paterson
With these organizations steering Paterson's transformation, their influence is echoed in the words of the city's leadership. During the event, Mayor Sayegh made shocking declarations:
"Paterson is the capital of Palestine in the United States of America."
"Paterson is the fourth holiest city in the world, Jerusalem, Mecca, Medina, and then Paterson."
Sayegh further boasted about policies catering to Islamic governance, including school closures for Eid, halal food in public schools, the Adhan (Islamic call to prayer) broadcast in the city, and the use of City Hall for Ramadan events:
"Patterson embraces and appreciates Islam so much so that we are one of the few cities in the country where children are afforded a day off for both Eid holidays... where children in schools can have halal food in their cafeterias... where the Adhan, the call to prayer, can be heard in the city. And I also would like to state that since taking office, we opened up the doors of City Hall for the first time in Paterson's history to have a community Iftar to break fast in Paterson."
These are not mere words; they signal an explicit effort to reshape Paterson's identity from an American city to a Palestinian-Islamic hub. Furthermore, he boasted how Paterson has
