Amos Yee is set to give his first ever public talk at Harvard.

Yee is a teenager from Singapore who has recently been granted political asylum in the US. He was in trouble with the Singaporean regime for repeatedly criticizing the country's late founder, Lee Kuan Yew. His treatment has been marginally better in the US. Although he was granted asylum by the US back in March, he was held in US jail until late September where he ran in to difficulties for his ongoing criticism of Islam. Currently, he is banned from Facebook for alleged, unspecified "community standards" violations. His videos are available on YouTube.

    That doesn't seem to match up with "his ongoing criticism of Islam".

    Muslims consider Mohammed to be the perfect man. He married a 6-year-old. He waited until she was nine before sex, but started right off placing his penis between her thighs at age 6.

    So this sets the standard all across the Muslim world. Various governments try to discourage it, and sometimes even make it illegal (on paper at least), but the people resist. This is their culture. It is considered good to emulate the perfect man.

    It would seem that criticism of Islam would start right there. We can go on of course, just on the topic of sex:

    Mohammed said it was OK to satisfy yourself in a sheep or goat. People do! There are numerous videos of it recorded by American soldiers in the Middle East, particularly in Afghanistan. Just this past week a migrant in Europe got busy with a donkey in a children's petting zoo.

    That bit about women being covered around non-family? There is an official Mohammed-approved escape clause. If a man has nursed on a woman, then she is considered family (like mother-son) even if he nurses while not a kid. No joke, it's in the Koran. Mohammed ordered someone to do this.

    Although gays get chucked off of buildings (by order of Mohammed), it only counts if you are willingly receptive. That is, you have to choose to receive. That's it. All the rest is fine. American troops in Afghanistan were often haunted by the screams of small boys. The adults thought nothing of it, since they'd mostly been treated that way as kids and it was all just normal to them. We actually told troops to avoid interfering (not the mission, and that is their culture...) and court-marshaled one of our own who couldn't resist stepping in to protect the kids.

    Then there is the buying and selling of infidels. There are actual rules for this spelled out in the Koran. Mohammed said it was fine, and he's the perfect man, so he would know.

    Maybe not so evil, but funny anyway: Muslims shave their balls. Mohammed says so.

    Shaving your balls is just hygienic, especially for hirsute people, which Arabs tend to be. Whiteboys that can't grow a full beard might need to hang onto those couple hairs to make them feel like men, the ready of shave so we can get women to put them in their mouths.

    We know it is you, Pam Gellar! Death to Ethanol_fueled, and all Zionists. Peace to Jew and Muslims everywhere. Oh, and touch Roy Moore on this underwear, but nothing else, for the rest of eternity! Ha! Bastard did not know what he was signing up for with the suicide run for the Senate! They promised him 76 virgins, you know, for 1776 (and because over a thousand just seemed pervy). But now he find out it will be just liked when he was the assistant DA,but with no private place, to, um, be a Republican. So, Mohammed, or Roy Moore. At least Mohammed had the decency to marry them first! But other than that, no difference. Roy Moore for Senate, y'all! You do know how Senators mark their place in reading a bill? Yes, they bend over a page! Ha, ha! Sexual abuse of Children is soooo funny to Republicans. I wonder why?

    No, it doesn't match reality but it does match the conservative persecution complex.

    When in doubt, go with the persecution complex....
