Egypt: Morsi Crackdowns on Free Speech

Bassem youssef
Jon Stewart wannabe, Bassem Youssef

Gee, this is my shocked face.  :^O  Anybody who knows anything about the Muzzie Brotherhood knows this is just the way they roll.

via the Daily Mail UK:

A popular television satirist is being investigated for allegedly insulting the Egyptian president as Islamist lawyers continue to bring cases against outspoken media personalities in the country.

TV host Bassem Youssef is accused of insulting President Mohammed Morsi by putting the Islamist leader's image on a pillow and parodying his speeches.

Youssef, a doctor, catapulted to fame when his video blogs mocking politics received hundreds of thousands of hits shortly after the 2011 uprising that toppled longtime leader Mubarak.

Youssef's program is modeled after Jon Stewart's 'The Daily Show', where he has appeared as a guest.

Unlike other local TV presenters, Youssef uses satire to mock fiery comments made by ultraconservative clerics and politicians, garnering him a legion of fans among the country's revolutionaries and liberals.

  • That Movie: How The Innocence of Muslims Was Made
    When struggling actor Tim Dax was hired to star in a swords-and-sandals movie titled Desert Warrior, he was just happy to have the job. One year later, Dax and the rest of the film’s cast and crew would look on in horror as The Innocence of Muslims—a crudely dubbed version of the movie they thought they were making—ignited protests across the Arab world and controversy at home. Speaking with many of the film’s principals, Michael Joseph Gross reports on a story as old as Hollywood itself: a pursuit of fame and fortune that ended in tears.

    "These days, there are few few things to admire about the socialist, bankrupt and culturally degenerating USA, but at least so far, one thing remains: the right to bare arms and use deadly force to defend one's self and possessions."
