I have submitted this definition:
Talibaptist is a term derived from the combination of the words Taliban and Baptist. The term is used to describe Fundamentalist [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamentalist] Christians with a political agenda. The term is not used to reference Baptist only but rather all fundamentalist right-wing Christians [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-wing_politics] that follow the teachings of far right-winged evangelical christians.
The term implies that the extreme Christian-Right has a similar goal to the Taliban in that they seek to enforce religious laws and create a theocratic state. They are often seen to be misogynistic and have an agenda to control others by passing legislation to mandate their particular brand of faith and morality upon people that do not share their religious beliefs.

Their reasons are as follows:
I have got to wonder why it is that Wikipedia is afraid to or refuses to post this reference to the term Talibaptist. I have received two responses.
1) "...no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent"
2) "...serve no purpose but to disparage their subject or some other entity."
