Condemn And Criticize
I read a book where there's a sentence "Don't criticize, condemn or complain". I was looking for any meaning of "condemn" and found on Wiktionary that one of meanings is "to criticize". Please explain me the difference between these two words.

To criticise (British English) is to point out faults. To critique, to use an English word with a French origin. It has wide useage and is a weaker verb than condemn.
To condemn is to judge something or someone and find them failing the standard that has been set. Its a very strong word for this. It is often used in a legal sense. For example: "He was found guilty of the crime and condemned to death by hanging."
