Ryan Brown, Principal Broker & CEO Own Luxury Homes®
“Chicago’s Muslim community has done something remarkable: it has built civic and religious infrastructure at the same time. The Council of Islamic Organizations, the Mosque Foundation, the Islamic schools in the southwest suburbs — these are institutions built over decades. The Muslim family moving to Chicago finds not just community but an organized, politically engaged, institutionally strong community that has been advocating for itself for a long time.”
