Egypt satirist faces new probe for 'insulting Pakistan' | |||
2013-04-10 | |||
The wildly popular Youssef -- whose weekly political satire programme Al-Bernameg (The Show) has spared few public figures of merciless critique -- is currently on bail pending investigation into charges of insulting President Mohamed Morsi and Islam. The new lawsuits accuse Youssef of "insulting the state of Pakistan and causing tensions in its relations with Egypt." He is also accused of insulting religion and "spreading atheism." In an episode after Morsi visited Pakistan in March, Youssef made fun of a hat worn by the president when he received an honorary doctorate from a university in Islamabad.
Youssef confirmed he was being investigated again on his Twitter account. "A new investigation started against me accusing me of: insulting Islam (again), spreading atheism & insulting Pakistan #LOL." Under Egypt's legal system, complaints | |||

#1 I am of the opinion that the truth about Pakistanarchy is pretty insulting. It is a collection of people and places no one wanted, even Ghandi at his most tolerant didn't want those clowns in his back yard. Stir in a bunch of semi illiterate holy men and a failed education system and you have Pakistanarchy. |
