It's a sight that we are more commonly used to seeing in Europe. But it is becoming more commonplace in New York City. (via Matzav.com) As the Muslim settler population grows, this will become a more commonplace sight on the way to work.

Similar videos in the past of New York streets being taken over by Muslim settlers for prayers have been more clearly demarcated as rallies or protests. This seems closer to the more commonplace takeovers that we've seen in Moscow or London and Paris.
Commenters at Matzav.com identity the location as Little Bangladesh on McDonald Avenue. I've written about it in the past.
Walk along Church Avenue and turn east onto McDonald Avenue and you will see where the old standards of working class Brooklyn, aging homes with faded American flags and loose siding, surly bars tucked into the shadows of street corners and the last video stores hanging on to a dying industry give way to mosques and grocery stores selling goat meat.
Mosques grow like mushrooms in basements, cell phone stores offer easy ways to wire money back to Bangladesh and old men glare at interlopers, especially if they are infidel women.
This is where Mohammed Siddiquee settled a dispute the old-fashioned way by beheading his landlord.
Mohammed wasn't the first man in Brooklyn to use violence to settle a rental dispute, but beheadings are more traditional in his native Bangladesh than in Brooklyn, though over in neighboring Queens, Ashrafuzzaman Khan, Bangladesh's most wanted war criminal, heads up the local Islamic Circle of North America, whose Islamist thugs beheaded poets and buried professors in mass graves.
Here in Kensington, where the alphabet streets that march across Brooklyn down to the ocean begin, the bars retreat along with the alphabet from those areas marked by the crescent and the angry glare. And there is another one like it at the other end of the alphabet where the Atlantic Ocean terminates the letters at Avenue Z bookending the Brooklyn alphabet with angry old men and phone cards for Bangladesh.
This is the new reality of Islamic migration and settlement. There are warning signs. It's all a matter of hearing them.
