Arabic Huffington Post Hates Women, Gays and Jews
With all the problems Egypt has, the last thing it needed was the Huffington Post.

With all the problems Egypt has, the last thing it needed was the Huffington Post. That's like throwing rabid weasels on an oil fire and expecting anything good to happen. But you've gotta give Arianna Huffington credit. She knows how to shamelessly target her demo in every market. And apparently her demo in the Arabic Huffington Post is Al Qaeda. (via Big Pharaoh)
Huffington Post Arabic isn't gay friendly either.
That one was taken down already. But then, of course, there are the Jews.
So the number of Jews went up from 12 to 14?
But those Al Jazeera people are so nice? Everyone says they're martyrs to press freedom.
Pamela Geller has been out front on this already.
An Egyptian national now living in Turkey, Fouda was arrested in the United Arab Emirates in 2013 on suspicion of affiliation with the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) – an affiliation which he freely admitted had existed since 1988, though he claimed to have held no formal party role since 1995. A browse of his Twitter timeline shows his politics to be fairly bread-and-butter MB; recommending, for instance, articles praising “His Eminence” Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the Holocaust-revisionist cleric who routinely denounces Shiite and Alawite Muslims, to say nothing of Jews. Khanfar, however, is the heavyweight of the pair; the man who made Al Jazeera the titan of Arabic media that it is today. He’s also, according to ex-colleagues, the man who made Al Jazeera the Muslim Brotherhood mouthpiece that it is today. A former Baghdad correspondent complained that once Khanfar took over the reins, “the liberals, the secular types, the Arab nationalists [were] getting downsized, and the Islamic position [was] dominating the newsroom.” Former AJA Washington bureau chief Hafez al-Mirazi similarly said that “From the first day of the Wadah Khanfar era, there was a dramatic change, especially because of him selecting assistants who are hard-line Islamists.” Khanfar has defended his Brotherhoodisation of the editorial line as simply a reflection of a new “political reality” in the Arab world – never mind any Arabs who may seek to challenge that reality.
Hope Arianna and her Fire Island friends like the new sexist and homophobic Huffington Post.
