I've added now (link to video is above). Of course it's possible they got it wrong, I will look into other sources. The Wikipedia page you reference has no source indicated. It says "citation needed". It might be from the 2000 census, but that's unclear. Understandably, those things must be difficult to count.

Look at Wikipedia, Demographics of NYC--there are only about 400,000 non-Christian, non-Jewish people in NYC. And many of those are Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, Jain, Zoroastrian, Shinto, Rastafarian, etc., etc. There aren’t anywhere near 1 million Muslims in NYC.
