I must point out that from a logical point of view "Because you don't like criminals, and Martin Luther King is a criminal, you should stop liking Martin Luther King." is correct. Let us assume you like Martin Luther King. Then one of the 2 premises must be wrong. Is it "you don't like criminals" or is it "Martin Luther King is a criminal"? I'm sorry to say that Martin Luther King was a criminal, and let us assume that means he still is in the strictest sense. Therefore, "you don't like criminals" cannot be correct. However, "You don't like people who you consider to be a criminal" could still be correct, since you would probably accept that you don't consider Martin Luther King to be a criminal. Sometimes you just need to teach people a little bit of logic.
