The Islamic City of Paterson, NJ: Mayor Brags About Turning City Into 'Little Palestine' While Residents Call it the 'Arab City Inside America
Amy MekFebruary 25, 2026
Paterson, New Jersey – once a proud American city – is now openly transforming into an Islamic stronghold, while left-wing leaders and residents are celebrating it like a victory parade.
During Muslim Heritage Month at City Hall, Mayor Andre Sayegh doubled down on handing over the keys to the city to Islam. Video footage from the event shows Mayor Sayegh standing proud, surrounded by imams and community leaders, boasting about Paterson’s transformation into New Jersey’s Islamic epicenter.
“Paterson is a better place because Muslim Americans call our city home. And it is a badge of honor that Paterson has the largest Muslim population in the state of New Jersey. And every chance we get, we brag about it.”
He went on to pat himself on the back for being the first mayor to hire a Muslim American as a cabinet officer, and highlighted the growing “representation” of Muslims.
