Connections of Eric Adams’ associates raise concerns

Mayor Eric Adams’ readiness to embrace folks from every community and even make some his advisers is commendable — but there need to be limits.

The Islamist Watch’s Sam Westrop reports that a senior liaison in Hizzoner’s Community Affairs Unit, Mohammed Bahi, is also the co-founder of “a radical organization with terror ties” called Muslims Giving Back.

Bahi’s circle, he suggests, includes figures with Islamist, anti-Jewish or anti-Israel links, too.

Having people like Bahi serving on the mayor’s staff, Westrop argues, “amplifies the Islamists” — including those who detest the West.

His report follows The Post’s own revelations of Chinese Communist Party ties to one of Adams’ closest advisors, Winnie Greco.

The CCP is America’s biggest threat. Where does this end?

One of that Muslim group’s co-founders, Asad Dandi, reportedly “sympathized with Al Qaeda.”

“Through Bahi,” argues Westrop, “the Adams administration has become closely intertwined with New York Islamist networks.”

At a recent press conference, Adams was joined by Bahi and Islamists such as Talib Abdur-Rashid, of the Islamic Leadership Council of New York.

Members of the council have reportedly praised terror groups; Abdur-Rashid has “defended the Iranian regime’s call for Israel’s destruction,” says Westrop.

Adams spokesman Charles Lutvak dismisses Westrop’s report as “nonsense,” claiming much of it isn’t backed up.
