The Taliban are a militia trained and funded by the U.S and Saudi Arabia as resistance fighters to combat the influence of the Soviet Union in Afghanistan circa 1980s. In 1994 they overtook Kandahar as an independent power and claimed governorship of surrounding region. Until 2001 the Taliban remained as the body of power over Afghanistan and now they remain as insurgents, trying to reclaim power through acts of terrorism and shock-violence. The Taliban are a group of militants that use a warped version of Sharia Law to justify their war on anyone who resists them—including Muslims who are targeted and killed at the highest rate by the Taliban. 

Muslims are a demographic of people, 1.8 billion strong, that adhere to Islam, an Abrahamic monotheistic religion spanning 14 centuries. Muslim have existed long before the Taliban ever did. Muslims are killed every day by the same people that the world continues to categorize them with. Muslims are not Taliban and the Taliban do not represent Muslims.
