The profile of New York City’s Muslim population has risen rapidly in recent years. In 2015, the city designated Eid al Fitr and Eid al Adha as school holidays; that same year, Mayor Bill de Blasio added a senior advisor to his Community Affairs Unit with a special focus on Muslim New Yorkers. Meanwhile, Muslim communities in Brooklyn neighborhoods like Little Pakistan in Kensington/Midwood and Bay Ridge have become increasingly active in civic life.
