Muslims are not the main problem

I have no idea what the statistics are, but my guess is that dirty old muslim men wouldnt even rate in comparison with the dirty old western and asian men who keep the brothels and girly bars of the philippines, thailand, vietnam, cambodia, india etc etc. in business. I do not justify their actions, but I would still rate their activities low on the scale of pedophilia enacted in the countries and by men of all nationalities.
I dont think the battle against pedophilia is helped by waging it at an enemy that will only accuse you of religious persecution and divert your resources. By all means lets drive these dirty old men, these arab pedophiles, into the ground. But at the same time lets redouble our efforts in all other areas.
