By David Beasley ATLANTA (Reuters) - A national atheist group said it plans to donate enough books on its views to be placed in all Georgia state park cabins after the state's governor said Bibles should remain at the vacation properties despite an atheist's recent complaint.

Egypt satirist faces new probe for 'insulting Pakistan'

April 9, 2013 11:15
Egyptian prosecutors are probing new complaints against popular satirist Bassem Youssef, this time for "insulting Pakistan" and "spreading atheism," judicial sources told AFP on Tuesday. 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."
