[Breitbart] The two men leading Huffington Post's new Arabic-language site have in the past been accused of having direct involvement with the Muslim Brotherhood and radical clerics; and one has openly expressed conspiratorial views that have been interpreted as having an anti-Semitic connotation.Anas Fouda, an Egyptian native now living in Muslim Brotherhood-friendly Turkey, is the new editor-in-chief of HuffPost Arabi. He was arrested by UAE authorities in 2013 after being charged with being a leader in the Islamist group, according to a NOW Lebanon, which linked to an article in which Fouda allegedly admitted that he has been a member of the Brotherhood since 1988. Prior to becoming the Huffington Post Arabic editor, Fouda was an executive producer at Al Jazeera Arabic, a network accused of having rabidly pro-Brotherhood biases.
After examining his past statements, NOW Lebanon writer Alex Rowell described Fouda as "bread and butter MB; recommending for instance, articles praising" Yusuf al-Qaradawi, who is considered the spiritual leader of the Islamist group. Qaradawi has in the past praised Nazi leader Adolf Hitler as someone "sent by Allah" to "punish" the Jews. The Muslim Brotherhood kingpin's arrest is now being sought by INTERPOL, the international counter-terror organization.
Famous Muslim Brotherhood alumni include a plethora of international terrorists, including Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al Baghdadi and deceased Al Qaeda mastermind Osama bin Laden.
Many Muslim Brotherhood members also happen to be anti-Semites, due to the jihadist group's founding political ideology, which calls for particular hostility towards Jews. The Huffington Post Arabic editor-in-chief is no exception to the commonly-found parallel.
Fouda tweeted last July, "Only after the latest Israeli aggression on Gaza did I realize the number of Egyptian Jews has increased greatly since the coup." The Tweet is still displayed in Fouda's Twitter feed.
