REPORT: Egypt Prosecutor orders arrest of popular satirist
                   
State news agency MENA reported on Saturday that Egypt's public prosecutor ordered the arrest of popular satirist Bassem Youssef over alleged insults to Islam and to President Mohamed Morsi.                   
Judicial sources said that several complaints had been filed against Youssef, for his humor on his weekly television program Albernameg (The Show) -- directed against public figures.
                 
He is accused of offense to Islam through on his show, and of insulting President Morsi by "making fun of his international standing," the sources said.                       

Dubbed the Egyptian Jon Stewart, Youssef has repeatedly poked fun at the ruling Islamists and Morsi in particular.
