They are not really rejecting the Taliban (from the little I listened to). They just use ambiguous phrases, etc in which no actual condemnation of the Taliban is mentioned but it answers the question (sort of) and keeps the police/media off their backs, much in the same way other Shaykhs like Hamza Yusuf use language too. Whether this is wise or not is a different question but a lot of ulemah seem to do it.
