Islam is practiced by several Muslim American groups in Metro Detroit. As of 2010 there are roughly 89 halal-certified restaurants in Metro Detroit.〔"(America's Muslim Capitals Slide #1 )" ((Archive )). ''The Daily Beast''. "#1, Detroit, Michigan Estimated Muslim population (percentage): 1.3 Total mosques (rank): 3 Number of halal restaurants: 89"〕 As of 2014 there are roughly 236 halal-certified restaurants in Metro Detroit.〔"(zabihah.com )."〕 ==History== The first mosque in the city was the Highland Park Mosque, and the first imams who lived in Detroit were Kalil Bazzy and Hussein Adeeb Karoub. This first mosque failed in 1922. A multiethnic coalition founded the Universal Islamic Society (UIS), the city's second mosque, in 1925.〔Gibson, Dawn-Marie (Royal Holloway, University of London).

CITED: p. 206. - Cites page 174 of ''Old Islam in Detroit'' (2014)〕 The character changed in Detroit's Islam in the 1970s when the conversions of the members of the Nation of Islam to mainstream Islam occurred, and when immigration from India, southern Lebanon, Pakistan, and Palestine occurred.〔 B.D. Singleton of the California State University, San Bernardino wrote that the older Muslim population were often "marginalized or shut out of" institutions they themselves had created.〔Singleton, B.D. (California State University, San Bernardino). "Howell, Sally. Old Islam in Detroit: rediscovering the Muslim American past." (Brief article)(Book review) ''CHOICE: Current Reviews for Academic Libraries'', 2015, Vol.52(5), p.877(1).〕 In the 2000s a Bengali mosque in Hamtramck named the Al-Islah Jamee Masjid wanted permission to broadcast the adhan, the Islamic call to prayer, from loudspeakers outside of the mosque and requested this permission from the city government. It was one of the newer mosques in Hamtramck. Sally Howell, author of "Competing for Muslims: New Strategies for Urban Renewal in Detroit", wrote that the request "brought to a head simmering Islamophobic sentiments" in Hamtramck.〔Howell, "Competing for Muslims," p. (209 ).〕 Muslims and interfaith activists supported the mosque. Some anti-Muslim activists, including some from other states including Kentucky and Ohio, participated in the controversy.〔 Howell added that the controversy, through an "international media storm", gave "a cathartic test of the "freedoms" we were said to be "fighting for" in Afghanistan and Iraq" to the remainder of the United States.〔 In 2004 the city council voted unanimously to allow mosques to broadcast the adhan on public streets, making it one of the few U.S. cities to allow this to occur. Some individuals had strongly objected to the allowing of the adhan.〔"(Hamtramck OKs prayer call over heated objections )." ''The Detroit News''. April 28, 2004. Retrieved on September 9, 2013.

The City Council on Tuesday night approved an ordinance to allow mosques to broadcast the Islamic call to prayer onto public streets over some heated objections. The unanimous vote by the council makes it one of the few cities in the United States to approve the practice. "This is about uniting our community," said Shabad Ahmed, 37, a Bangladeshi immigrant and the first and only Muslim member of the Hamtramck City Council. Supporters of the change outnumbered()"〕 In 2013 the city council of Hamtramck became the first in the U.S. that was Muslim majority. By 2015 many Muslim women in the Detroit area asked to be able to wear hijab in public places and in any identification photographs. Several municipalities are having to determine how to deal with producing identification photographs of Muslim women who are under arrest.〔Warikoo, Niraj.
