Nah, that makes no sense. We do not have time to properly educate ourselves on every crime committed by a small minority of every group that we might passively support, let alone actively fight against all such crimes, or (just as impractically) withdraw our support from all such groups.

By your logic, you should really be actively fighting most countries and large corporations, because there is no shortage of blood on their hands and their crimes are only going to multiply in coming years. I suppose you're more concerned about UK police incompetence regarding Muslim rape gangs, basically because you're told to. Rape gangs are bad, but the world has much bigger problems.

In case it actually needs to be said, of course many Muslims condemn child-molestation and fight against it. However, expecting them to completely abandon their religion because of the actions of a small group of criminals is deluded, and if you examine your own life, you'll likely find it's hypocritical as well.

Child molestation and suicide bombing take too long to be educated on, got it.

I do when I can though not with violence. A company is an abstract concept... what, exactly, are you going to assault in these companies? The board of directors? Share holders? No, you attack their revenue.

Activism and speaking out is still more than muslims or Christians do against those radicals/idiots.

Are you flipping serious right now? Mohammed was a child molester. They literally worship him.

I examine it every day and make changes as I find such things.

Nah, you missed it: "every crime committed" does not equal "Child molestation and suicide bombing".

A company is not that abstract a concept. Sure you can attack the revenue of a particular company, but you'll likely fail because unless they're really incompetent, that will already have been factored into their business plan. Practically speaking there is no opting-out when it comes to unethical corporations, because we often have no other option while leading a modern life. I guess one could become a hermit, but that's probably even less effective than being a hypocrite failing to achieve change within the system.

Muslims are diverse. (Really try to think on that.) Back in biblical times marrying what we consider children now was common. Jesus was like likely surrounded by "child-molesters" as well. Many majority Muslim countries now have a legal marriage age that is completely incompatible with Mohammed's marriage to Aisha. Islam and groups within Islam have the ability to move on, just as Christianity has moved on from various practices incompatible with modern society.

I have little faith in your priorities, or the strength of your reasoning.

Given that you want to quantify literally everything and then throw things to extremes only so you can say "SEE! I TOLD YOU", you're not work debating with (you're employing fallacy after fallacy). Work on your technique then we can debate. Until then, it's really not worth it to me.
