arksis, the following article demonstrates to the extent that the Muslims have made their presence in Hamtramck. I'm going to highlight the key sentence of the article in red. Sadly, the days of Hamtramck being remotely close to what you described years ago is only a memory. With the direction the United States is going in, it's hard to picture this changing.
In 2008 in the Southland mall in Taylor, Mi. a mall which I have been in many times over the years, it was the first time I noticed Muslim women. In essence, it seems like the Muslims are moving into many parts of Wayne County ( the county that Detroit and Dearborn are in ). This clearly isn't just a concern in the Detroit area, as in the Green Acres mall in Valley Stream, NY, I noticed Muslims for the first time in 2009.
With the high Muslim birthrate, the Liberal policies of the U.S. that have lead to a major increase in the Muslim population, and more and more blacks becoming Muslims, a situation like in Europe is a very realistic possibility in the United States if something doesn't change dramatically.

Hamtramck The growing Muslim population in Hamtramck will have more representation in city government now that three Muslims were elected to a six-person City Council.
Excerpt:
After Tuesday's election, Muslims are to make up half of the city council members in Hamtramck, a percentage believed by advocates to be the highest Muslim representation in a municipality in the United States.Two Muslim candidates, Kazi Miah and Mohammed Hassan, were elected Tuesday to the six-member Hamtramck City Council, joining incumbent Shahab Ahmed, whose seat was not up for re-election. All three have roots in the Muslim-majority country of Bangladesh, reflecting the growing Bangladeshi-American population in a city that was once known for its Polish Catholic community. Hamtramck also has Muslim residents from Bosnia and Yemen.
