Some guy the other day was trying to argue that because there are people in the world that believe unmarried non-virgins should be killed, that means that being an unmarried non-virgin is wrong.

What fallacy is that anyway? At first I thought argumentum ad populum, but that doesn't seem quite right... Thinking

Ad populum, (aka appeal to consensus or the bandwagon fallacy), appeal to authority (loosely), genetic fallacy, and ad-hoc reasoning.
