Buzzfeed recently translated some of the blog posts that have been put on Huffington Post Arabic. Although Huffington Post is known to be a progressive publication the blog posts took a more conservative tone decrying selfie culture, posting anti-gay rhetoric, and discriminating against atheists. Ana Kasparian (The Point) and Becca Frucht hosts of The Young Turks discuss.

Does this change how you view Huffington Post? How should they respond to this controversy? Let us know in the comments below.

“The Huffington Post has caused outrage among those readers who considered it a liberal left website by launching an Arabic edition which has promptly criticised gays, atheists and the practice of taking selfies.

Days after going live, the site has already published a series of vitriolic outbursts including a piece by an Egyptian contributor on Saturday complaining that atheists were being allowed on Egyptian television and that the Government permitted “a press conference for gays in the heart of Cairo”.

In another article for the site, an Algerian columnist, authored what was intended as “an open letter to all the Islamic Ummah’s youth”, condemned the selfie as symptom of “the diseases and the viruses of the Western world”.”
