Islam Fallacies

In this article from the most credible news source ever, Brietbart News, it talks about the Islamic faith and government. It elaborates on how the Islamic faith makes the governments in the Middle East fail. The article pulls from the Iman of Peace who is an internationally known public figure who condemns violence in the Islamic faith.

1. The first fallacy in the article is Guilt by Association.

Quote:
"All Islamic governments are a fail. I don’t want to speak about other religions, other theocracies, but I speak about my religion, [Islam],” Tawhidi said, adding, “All governments that used Islam as a formula for their constitution – in other words, violent Sharia law – all of them failed." 

He talks about how all governments who are associated with the Islam are a fail. So anyone associated or uses Islam in their government is a failed state.

2. The second fallacy is Begging the Question.

Quote:
“All Islamic governments are a fraud because there’s no basis for them in the Quran. Prophet Mohammad couldn’t have possibly had a government in Medina because all Islamic governments are illegitimate....All islamic govs = SCAM.”

The reason this one is Begging the Question is because he has the conclusion of his argument be one of the premises of the argument. He basically keeps saying the same thing over and over again in the article. That Islamic governments are a fraud and a fail. Also fraud and fail are two different things so he keeps changing his wording on what he says they are, but he just keeps saying Islam and government = fail, fail, fail!!!
