Huffington Post's New Arabic Site Under Fire

"The Huffington Post has come under fire for blog posts on it’s new Arabic-language site that detractors claim are homophobic and anti-atheist.

BuzzFeed drew attention to one Huffington Post Arabi blog post last week that lambasted the Egyptian government for “allowing a press conference for gays in the heart of Cairo” and for allowing atheists to appear on television."

I thought the Huffington Post was all about inclusion and secular values. Fundamentalism has no business under that title.

I'd say withdrawing it is legitimate, provided it is not a cover-up. An explanatory note (that also gives some context) is imo sufficient. Depending on the extremeness a statement of disapproval in front of the post would also be an option. If the text can be read as an instigation to violence, a removal should be the only option (again with a notice that it has taken place and the reason for it).
