This is some radical swag.

A Muslim nonprofit that’s raked in over $260,000 in taxpayer dough and has ties to Mayor Zohran Mamdani hosted a pop-up fundraiser featuring a twisted array of trinkets promoting Hamas and other US-designated terror groups.

During the Muslim American Society’s Jan. 18 support-Sudan event at its Brooklyn youth center, vendors peddled key chains, stickers, pins and other tchotchkes in support of Hamas, Hezbollah and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

Other items at the event, called Thrift4Sudan, featured reverential images of late terrorist leaders Hassan Nasrallah of Hezbollah and Yahya Sinwar of Hamas, and a masked figure resembling the late Hamas spokesman Abu Obeida.

Other merchandise sported terror-group logos or directly called for the destruction of Israel, with slogans like “Let’s go bomb Tel Aviv” and “Death to the IDF,” The Times of Israel reported.

The outlet relied on a since-removed video of the event briefly posted on Instagram by Palestinian Assembly for Liberation PAL-Awda — the same anti-Israel mob that chanted “We support Hamas!” outside a Queens synagogue earlier this month.

The DC-based Muslim American Society’s New York chapter reported $982,123 in net assets for 2024, according to its latest available tax filings

Since fiscal year 2023, the City Council has awarded $265,000 in “discretionary funds” to the nonprofit’s New York chapter — mostly through its Brooklyn and Staten island operation — for boosting youth programs, “victim services” and other community initiatives, a Post review of city records found.

Of the taxpayer-funded pork, $150,000 – more than half – was dished out through ex-Speaker Adrienne Adams, while fellow Dem and ex-Brooklyn Councilman Justin Brannan approved another $80,000.

Adams didn’t return messages, and Brannan declined comment.

Were they selling minature statues of the Twin towers falling as well? This is unreal, in a city where 3000 people were brutally mass murdered, to think that this kind of freakin bullsht is going on is just mind boggling. Just more proof that real New Yorkers no longer live in NYC otherwise these scmbags would have their asses handed to them. NYC is now run by leftist nitwits from out of state.

Judging by the fact that they voted for a commie jihadi for mayor, I’m guessing the majority of New Yorkers probably see nothing wrong with any of this.

Well we did just sit back and allow this to happen. All they’re doing bluster keyboard stroke in the world can’t fix what we allowed to happen in this country. I don’t blame Congress, I blame all they’re doing bluster people who actually love this country that didn’t rise up and demand action from our government overlords.

"No; it seems to be the whole head."

"Should we be worried about it?"

"My grandfolks in Germany worried about things like this, but
I think things turned out all right because they stopped writing."
