Just curious. What country is he in/from/being imprisoned by?   

[Slow death]

This is to remove the freedom of expression, youtube is a private account it and he can say whatever he wants, it is up to youtube to see if he broke the youtube service TOS and he broke the youtube TOS you would banish him, but involve authorities and be arrested? Where is our freedom of expression?

However, dictator and civil law countries don't need the Youtube excuse. They can get away with arresting anyone that they want. All they have to do is make it a law aimed at one person. The reason why they don't do it regular like, is to keep the populace from rebelling. That's why I ask what country he is from.

In America, the government does the same thing to people. But the difference is that, in America, government has to get the individual to agree in court first. Individuals agree, because they are too ignorant to realize that they don't have to agree. So, they go to prison for nothing, simply because government talked them into agreeing to it.

Amos Yee is a famous artist / activist from Singapore. Last year, after the death of Lee Kuan Yew, he uploaded a video to Youtube, which made comparisons between Lee and Jesus. Supporters of Lee argued that the video mocked Christians and Jesus, and he was detained. His YouTube video channel can be found below:

Singapore

[BADecker]

Singapore is small, and is of civil law which is similar to dictatorship by government.

Malaysia, just north of Singapore, is considered to be customary law, which is a form of civil law based on the customs of the people.

American common law is the law by the people as administered (when necessary) by a jury. The United States government in and of itself is mainly civil law that is under the common law in authority.



EDIT: Don't mistake the common law of the courts as American common law. It is not the same. The courts have called their brand of justice by the term common law. It is not the same as the common law of the American people. Make this distinction when you go to court in common law.

Why did he face jail. Although he should not insult others but it is his choice, his voice of opinion is private, man these days, we need more anonymity and privacy. We are deprived of Internet neutrality.

it is a good news no one has the right to insult any religion. all religion should be protected and they should be respected.

It's kinda like hate speech in America. If you say things bad about someone or some group in America, as long as you don't get right in their face and blow their eardrums out, how have you harmed them? You were probably right as to the content of your so-called hate speech. You haven't harmed them at all.

Then some man or woman in government gets in your face and says (rather gently, of course), "Naughty, naughty. You shouldn't have said the things that you did. You said some 'hate speech'. Your fine is $2000."

So tell me. Who got hurt? The person you used your so-called hate speech against? Or you?

Wake up. Government law is way more hate speech... written down by some politicians. These politicians used their hate speech to harm you when you used language they call hate speech that didn't hurt anybody.

Government politicians are hypocrites and liars. Their hate speech that they turn into laws, damages people way more than any simple person could damage another person by talking.

Time to use their hate speech against them. Study Karl Lentz http://www.broadmind.org/.

Islam, Christianity and Judaism insult the Atheists. We must arrest them. Especially the Jews.

[helloeverybody]

If he feels he wants to speak up about something he thinks is ridiculous be should be allowed to.  Religions should not be protected or else we would never make progress.

His videos are very good, he speaks his mind and that should be allowed.

I am not offended by any of his videos.

Come on. Everyone has his own beliefs that are different from everyone else. If we could do it, we would all have a formal religion of our own. Should we have religious protection? Sure. That way the protectors can make money off us by doing the job of protecting.

Wait. We have that already. It is call government, and our taxes is their pay for protecting us. So, who are they protecting when they punish one of us (one religion) in favor of another of us (another religion)? Forget the protection. Government is essentially a religion that is trying to impose itself on us all.

He is only speaking the truth, he is not making it up, he is using factual quotes and common sense.

I was speaking about freedom of speech, no religion should be protected from what someone has to say about it. Im not saying people shouldnt be protected from violence but protecting a religion by stopping people speaking their mind on them means you can quite easily spread false facts because no one can say otherwise. Isis would agree with you though.

Okay. I watched less than a minute. You realize, of course, that there is bullshit in some of the activities of all people, right? Some Christians are completely nuts in some things. But if they are believers in Jesus, they will rise to salvation and eternal life in the last day, no matter how nuts they were here in this life.

Serious Christians don't respond with bullshit like this video, to the bullshit of the atheism religion. Rather, serious Christians respond with truth.

All that I am saying is that, any time someones takes any freedom from anyone else, he is essentially promoting his religion over theirs. Why? Because nobody is smart enough to predict the stock market without actually manipulating it... or anything else. So, everything people do is by religion.
