I don't think the Taliban have ever claimed to be peace loving, nor have ever been described as such.
I think the phrase is "the majority peace loving Muslims" or something along those lines. The idea being that while these acts of violence and violence are carried out by Muslims, the majority of Muslims abhor such acts and would much rather live at peace with their neighbours. Whether this idea is true or not is of course up for debate in a free society.
But the continued use of "peace lover" in this context come across to me as hate fuelled xenophobia. Labelling as you continue to do is the one of the early steps in dehumanising a people group.

hmmm. Not sure if I agree.
We can debate on a theological and evidentiary level if you wish.

The state of it. Last week he had just heard about checking privilege and now it's all full on SJW and "dehumanising a people group"
