Just a fun hypothetical who would win a war if these two organizations fought one another. Vote and state your reasons why.
Things to consider: combat experience, weaponry, manpower, terrain, leadership, money.
Since ISIS is in Iraq/Syria and Taliban is in Afghanistan lets say we drop them off in Iran, a happy medium in between for the hypothetical war to take place.
My vote is for the Taliban. Taliban is a much larger organization with much more manpower than ISIS (according to CIA ISIS has up to 31,500 ISIS fighters.) Taliban easily has more than double that number. Taliban have far more war and combat experience they also seem more resilient. Taliban leadership seems to be more strategic than ISIS leadership.
Only thing going for ISIS is they are the wealthiest militant organization. They probably have better weapons than Taliban, but better weaponry hasn't stopped the Taliban before as proven by history.
