Why would we promote Milo's views in those long quotes, there is no need for more than what first two sentences express. Further, Milo is not "critic of Islam" to be categorized as such - his animus against Muslims expressed in million ways has taken privilege of being called "critic of Islam" from him long time ago. He is a bigot and Islamophobe, and it is unacceptable to put him in the same group as late ], for instance, who genuinely belong to a group of Islam and religion critics with legit arguments.

== List of Milo's books and Penn State appearance ==
Hi, I was hoping to add a list of books that Milo has published with the year and ISBNs as well as a sentence about his latest Penn State appearance. The second reference says that 10,000 people signed a petition to stop Milo. This was not a minor event. Here are some examples of Penn State coverage:
