`  :I don't expect you to agree with me in all points. But there's no logical fallacy there. If the accusation is that ``Falun Gong practitioners have a tendency to cult suicides, because the self-immolators were reputedly practitioners``, this is obviously both an association fallacy and a false analogy. Compare it to a classic racist sentiment from the Deep South: ``A nigger has approached a white woman, therefore niggers are evil, so any nigger must be hung.`` And it's not a No True Scotsman fallacy to make an argument: ``Falun Gong unequivocally doesn't approve of suicide and murders. If somebody has done something like that, he hasn't followed the guidelines of Falun Gong, at least regarding this issue.`` Besides, a lot of the talk of ``Falun Gong`` doing this or that falls into the area of reification. I hope this helps. - `
