Morphology
Talibangelical + movement
The headword is a nonce blend of 'Taliban' (or 'Talib') + 'evangelical', so the phrase signals a movement combining Taliban-like strictness with evangelical Christian beliefs; this meaning is recoverable from the parts if the learner recognises both source words and understands the political/social connotations. However, because it is a novel coinage requiring blend-parsing and background cultural knowledge, an average B1 learner who only knows the literal constituents may not reliably infer the full nuance.
Etymology
Talibangelical movement comes from joining Taliban and evangelical, making a strong picture of strict religious rule. People use it to say a group mixes strong evangelical beliefs with 'Taliban-like' behavior, so the phrase criticizes groups that try to push harsh religious rules in politics.
