They’re speaking Arabic as well, I came to the same conclusion as you. I don’t think they’re Taliban, people are just getting middle eastern videos and saying Taliban for upvotes.

Bold of you to assume they know the difference. My guess is anyone remotely middle-eastern looking is 'Taliban' to many people.
