The Paterson scene
Little Ramallah And The Passaic County Calendar
The Islamic Center of Passaic County is the largest institution here, with several other masajid serving Palestinian, Syrian, Turkish and Bangladeshi communities concentrated in South Paterson.
This is a walkable, dense Muslim community of a kind that barely exists elsewhere in America. The calendar is correspondingly full, and 54 events are tracked in the city.
