As we’ve noted before, in New York alone, there are neighborhoods nicknamed ‘Little Pakistan’, ‘Little Palestine’ (Bay Ridge), and ‘Little Kabul’.

The launch of New York City’s first Muslim Democratic Club took place in a lounge on West 38th Street—a common area of a fancy residential builing, with marble floors, leather couches and a glass-enclosed fireplace.

…New York City Comptroller John Liu, one of two mayoral candidates who attended the club’s party.

The other candidate to attend was Sal Albanese, a former Democratic Councilman from Bay Ridge.

Representatives for New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn and former comptroller Bill Thompson and Public Advocate Bill de Blasio were also in attendance.

Well-funded and well-connected.

Robert Jackson of Harlem, the only Muslim member on the New York City Council, spoke to the crowd. So did Zead Ramadan, who is also Muslim and is one of the candidates running this year to replace Jackson.
