In the book I am Malala By: Malala Yousafzai-Christina Lamb the Taliban uses the logical fallacy slippery slope to support their claims; this fallacy could raise or destroy their battle for power in Pakistan. (PS) The first example of the Taliban’s use of slippery slope is after the earthquake that wrecked Swat Valley when Fazlullah blamed the natural disaster on the actions of the Muslim population.

Although it is a good hypothesis, they may just be looking for an education so they may apply for a job as a doctor or other highly educated roles other than a politician. This ban discourages many girls and women from returning to their school and work, which as a result decreases their ability to protest the Taliban using logic rather than brute force. (PS)Slippery slope is also used when Fazlullah claims not following the Taliban's laws is the same as disobeying the Quran and Allah. Fazlullah also calls himself an “Islamic reformer and an interpreter of the Quran.” Even during the punishments handed out by the Taliban they claimed they were doing it in God’s honor, like when “hundreds of people gathered for the floggings, shouting “Allahu akbar”-”God is great!” with each lash.” The laws of the Taliban and the Quran are very different and saying they are one and the same is extremely
