🚨CONQUERED: New York taxpayers are bankrolling a $4 million Manhattan headquarters for the Muslim group that demanded Congress cut off the 9/11 museum!! ⠀ Muslim Community Network says it has secured $4 million in government funds to buy a permanent Cultural and Education Center at 866 Second Avenue, steps from the United Nations. The group’s own pitch states, "MCN has raised $4 million in public funds to purchase the lots." ⠀ Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine’s office allocated $2 million in fiscal 2026 toward acquiring that condominium. City Council capital records add about $1.23 million more from then-Speaker Adrienne Adams, Keith Powers, Julie Menin, and Gale Brewer. ⠀ The same organization told Congress to starve the National September 11 Memorial & Museum. Executive Director Husein Yatabarry submitted testimony on H.R. 5401 accusing the museum of allowing "anti-Muslim rhetoric" in its exhibits. ⠀ "I urge the Subcommittee to withhold additional funding until these necessary changes are made," Yatabarry wrote. He wanted a multifaith review panel and an academic council so the museum would stop, in his view, conflating Islam with al-Qaeda. ⠀ MCN signed a coalition letter with CAIR-NY and Emgage NY that attacked the museum’s "The Rise of Al Qaeda" film for lacking a "more balanced perspective." That museum sits on the site where the 9/11 attacks took 2,977 lives. ⠀ MCN was founded in 2003 after those attacks and says it now serves about 10,000 New Yorkers a year from rented space. Its slogan is "Muslims Defining Our Own Narrative." ⠀ Its Impact Academy markets courses on "Islamophobia & Its Impact" and how to "counter harmful narratives." Those trainings are sold to public schools, city agencies, hospitals, and libraries. ⠀ Other sessions cover responding to ICE and signing people up for SNAP, WIC, and Medicaid. The New York Post documented nearly $2.5 million in City Council discretionary funds flowing to MCN since 2014, including $245,000 from Speaker Adams in one fiscal year. ⠀ Board chair Debbie Almontaser left Khalil Gibran International Academy in 2007 after defending "Intifada NYC" T-shirts. House Oversight later flagged her firm Bridging Cultures and MCN for millions more in city contracts and school trainings. ⠀ MCN also signed a January 2026 letter telling Congress to halt ICE and Border Patrol money. "Congress must refuse to provide one dollar," that letter said. ⠀ The 9/11 Memorial & Museum still has to scrape for security and education dollars while this group collects capital grants for a Midtown address. Follow the line items before the next round of city budget hearings. ⠀ #NeverForget911 #NYC
