Anthony Weiner took donations from a paid advocate for Osama bin Laden’s favorite TV network, The Post has learned.

John Merrigan, a lobbyist for Al Jazeera America Holdings, donated the maximum, $4,950, to Weiner’s mayoral campaign this month, records show.

Bin Laden often submitted propaganda tapes to the Qatar-based network.

“Many New Yorkers are supporting Anthony and his fight for the middle class and those struggling to make it there,” said Weiner spokeswoman Barbara Morgan.

Meanwhile, Weiner defended his comments this week invoking 1938 Germany when discussing the NYPD’s stop-and-frisk policy.

“Never at any point either did I say or did I intend to say that we lived in 1938 Nazi Germany, but we do need to understand that we have a right to our constitutional rights,” he said.
