If they aren't NPOV, you can correct them.  There are generic examples
you can make that convey the point clearly without treading on any
ground that would involve something like mocking a religion
indirectly.

I haven't reviewed the logical fallacies category extensively, but
from what I've seen, they've identified legitimate logical fallacies,
ones that are widely recognized in literature about logical fallacies.
 Now I think a lot of the articles are poorly written, but they are
 generally on the mark about the logical fallacies.

If you could provide specific examples of what you consider POV within
a logical fallacy article, I'd like to see them.
