NYC Officials Bow to Bangladesh: Police and Politicians Celebrate Islamic Takeover

In this RAIR Foundation article, Donna Fodor argues that a Bangladesh Day parade in Jackson Heights, Queens, symbolized not merely cultural celebration but political surrender by New York officials and police.

• The article centers on a May 17 parade in Jackson Heights where thousands reportedly waved Bangladeshi flags and marched through the neighborhood.
• RAIR criticizes the NYPD for participating in the event, including officers carrying Bangladeshi flags and mounted police displaying them.
• The piece frames the parade as part of a broader concern over foreign nationalism, Islamic influence, and demographic power being displayed in American streets.
• The author points to Bangladesh’s recent political instability and claims of persecution against Hindus, Christians, Buddhists, and other minorities as reasons the celebration should raise alarms.
• RAIR also highlights parade-goers carrying large dead fish through Queens, portraying the scene as unsanitary and emblematic of imported cultural practices.
• The article criticizes elected officials who attended or praised the event, including Congressman Tom Suozzi, Assembly Member Jessica González-Rojas, Council Member Shekar Krishnan, and State Senate candidate Hiram Monserrate.
• Monserrate receives particular scrutiny because of his past expulsion from the New York State Senate and later corruption conviction.
• RAIR argues this fits a larger pattern of foreign-linked parades and political pandering in American cities, comparing it to Pakistan Day and Turkish celebrations.
• The article concludes that what officials call diversity is, in RAIR’s view, a dangerous sign of cultural and political replacement.
