Where have all the Muslims gone? (link provided by msmemory)

We do not have a significant middle-eastern population here, and I haven't noticed any changes -- but, given the demographics, I wouldn't. Can anyone else corroborate or contest this observation?

Update 3/27/03: According to this post, his family apparently left voluntarily. It's not known why, but they seem to have gone to Amsterdam.

Oh my God.

Is this the America I've been proud all my life to live in?

I can only give anecdotal evidence, of course.

If one travels up the alphabet on Coney Island Avenue in Brooklyn, as I do every work day, one will enounter, between around Avenue C and Avenue I, one of New York's busiest and largest Muslim areas - mostly Pakistani, but there are other groups as well.

I have not noticed a drop in visibility or population along that route or in the buses I ride.
