Muslim Brotherhood and Islamist forces continue spreading their tentacles of influence into and with the aid of American liberal partners.
“Huffington Post Launches Arabic Edition Headed By Muslim Brotherhood Partners,” by gmbwatch (thanks to Creeping Sharia)
A Lebanese news portal is reporting on the Muslim Brotherhood connections of Huffington Post’s new Arabic language edition. The NOW report begins:
July 29, 2015 ‘Don’t be shocked if you expect one thing and find something entirely different,’ writes Anas Fouda, editor-in-chief of the Huffington Post’s brand new Arabic-language edition, HuffPost Arabi, in his inaugural editorial.
The warning is apt, for presumably few readers indeed will have expected the liberal American media juggernaut to launch a venture headed by two prominent figures of the Middle East’s religious right.
Fouda, previously an executive producer at Al Jazeera Arabic (AJA), is managing the website in partnership with his old boss, former AJA director general Wadah Khanfar. Their profiles may make for interesting perusal for existing Huffington Post readers unfamiliar with the Arabic-language media landscape.
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. Indeed, Fouda has himself on occasion found less-than-obliging things to say about his Semitic cousins, e.g., tweeting last July that, ‘Only after the latest Israeli aggression on Gaza did I realize the number of Egyptian Jews has increased greatly since the coup.’
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.”

Creeping Sharia notes that:
The GMBDW has been reporting since June 2007 on the Muslim Brotherhood ties of former Al Jazeera General Manager Waddah Khanfar who resigned his position in 2011. We reported in August 2014 that the Huffington Post was forming a partnership with Wadah Khanfar, the former head of Al Jazeera and long associated with Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, to launch an Arabic-language edition targeting Middle Eastern youth. At that time we noted that Ms. Huffington’s comments about being “completely independent”, partly attributed to the London location, struck us as highly ironic given that Mr. Khanfar has long been tied to Hamas and the Global Muslim Brotherhood.

Huffington Post launches Arabic Edition headed by Muslim Brotherhood partners
………………………..
Giving aid and comfort to the enemy—intentionally or not…
Karen says
With ties to Al Jazeera, the preeminent phony news organization (We have no idea where bin Laden is). There must be money in it, I guess.
Shane says
Yes, but it is clearly intentional. The left has been aligned with Islamic terror groups for decades, just as they are aligned with violent Black supremacist groups like the New Black Panthers and the Nation of Islam.
Don McKellar says
You know what they say: Fascists of a feather, stick together!
Fascism springs from leftist ideals of the State over the Individual. While Fascism in Islam springs from the Islamic ideals of Sharia over the Individual. Then you thrown in Leftist delusions about “social justice” and “protected minorities” and their irrational hate for anybody who doesn’t walk and talk the party line, well, there you go — it’s no wonder they love their Islamic murders so much and are so easily duped and manipulated by them.

SINISLAM?
Anyone?

Huffington Post collaborating with the Muslim Brotherhood? You mean, the ENEMIES OF EUROPEAN CIVILIZATION are working with OTHER enemies of European civilization??? I’m so shocked!
Leftarded cultural Marxists think they can co-opt jihadists to do their bidding. The reverse is also true.
The question is: Which of the two sides will betray the other first?
So we see the Marxists collaborating with arch-conservative, theocratic FASCISTS. And they see no contradiction?

Ask the late Tudeh Party from iran. They thought they could control the ayatollah!
Ask fake Canadian ‘refugee’ Ali Izadi-Kharrazi aka Ali Yerevani

Here is a good idea , why don’t they move their headquarters with all their staff to that S*** hole aka the Islamic world ,their female leftists journalists would make fine concubines for allah’s monkeys aka Muslims that’ll make them feel better about themselves & might actually stop the terrorism ……. Genius
Angemon says
HuffPo material indeed.
Arthur says
It should come as no surprise that Ms. Huffington gave a TED talk urging people to go back to sleep!

Marty says
True liberals are dubious about all religions, and hate & fear Islam.
The current crop of bogus liberals & leftists will support those who
seek to destroy us, and also them, as long as the cash is paid upfront.
I think I’m a genuine liberal, and in the UK that means supporting the
best of UKIP and the ill named Conservative Party.
FredvanH says
Ever since I experienced preferential selling in a pakistani run night shop, well over 10 years ago, I’ve been boycotting muslim run businesses, or businesses that employ muslims, as much as possible, since their fascist supremacist precepts are diametrically opposed to every principle I grew up with. Anybody selling out their culture, like this Arianna Huffington, is a vulgar WHORE.
Ann Inquirer says
HuffPo really is part of the #LeftIslamicAxis now. Wonder how much Big Oil money greased her palms to become a traitor?
Uncle Vladdi says
Hmmm … the masochistic left is really ramping up the potential treason here, eh?
Soon they’ll be able to claim
“What?! OUR site calls for FGM, wife-beatings, beheadings, etc, in ARABIC?!”
WE. DID. NOT. KNOW. THAT!
Then they’ll simply all convert to islam en masse, and claim to be victims whose holy religious free-speech rights are being infringed on by hateful racist bigots!
Ed says
Huffing comPOSt all it needs to do is translate their English edition to arabic. It already is an infestation of islamoPhilic agenda.
