Morons make me laugh... The word you're looking for is: Tehrik-e-Taliban - You know, the student movement in Pakistan, ie: Pakistanians.

Son, the language is made up of groups of words to create new words and meanings... Taliban is two words combined together, in our use, it's a single word with a single meaning - we made the word mean "Islamist militia group" for the groups of Afghanistan war lords we're fighting - it's our word.

"Since becoming a loanword in English, Taliban, besides a plural noun referring to the group, has also been used as a singular noun referring to an individual."

I can read the wiki too, I just understand what I'm reading, jack ass.
