Hamtramck, a city next to Detroit in Michigan, is the first city in the US where Muslims are in majority.
The city was known for its Polish immigrants, who gave it an East European character. But as the Polish population dwindled, Muslims became the majority community in this city of 22,423.
A Muslim-majority city council was also elected recently.
A Polish pastor in the video below laments that the City will lose its East European character, but says it is a natural development.
A Muslim Maulvi says though there was opposition to the Muslim call to prayer through loud speakers initially, the city is at peace now.
A Muslim elected member of City Council says he will represent all disregarding their colour of skin.
The rumours that shariat would be imposed in the city is dismissed as just that.
