This a logical fallacy commonly made when arguing against the actions of people that follow particular ideology where instead responding appropriately to the argument at hand, you make an erroneous assertion that the argument only applies to a small subset of people. For example
Me: islam is responsible for religious violence per capita then any other religion.
You: but not all Muslims are terrorists!.
Right but at that point its easily addressed.
You simply say in the most accusing voice you can muster "I didn't say they were...?" and you look at them questioningly as if they just revealed their own racist tendencies till they start explaining themselves and justifying why they felt the need to say that.
Its alot of fun.
