The Chicago Muslim community
The Chicago metro area is home to approximately 250,000 Muslims — one of the largest Muslim populations in the Midwest. The community spans South Asian (Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Indian), Arab, Bosnian, African, and African American Muslims. The most established halal commercial district is in Bridgeview (sometimes called "Little Palestine"), with additional Muslim community concentration in Lincoln Square, Devon Avenue (the South Asian corridor), and northwest suburbs.
