In a nutshell: when ISIS expanded its operations to Afghanistan, the Taliban felt their foothold threatend. Taliban leaders issued a kill order and even trained a Special Force to deal with ISIS. Here's the article

They are not on the same team. ISIS is Wahabi Sunni, the Taliban a more traditional brand of Sunni, mixed with local Pashtun culture.
Generally speaking, the Taliban sticks to their own neighborhood, while ISIS has a world domination worldview and seeks to export their brand of Islam everywhere.
When ISIS moves in, the Taliban rightly perceive them as a threat.
I say, grab the popcorn and watch.

Good, simple analysis. ISIL (I favor their more traditional moniker) also wants to wipe out anyone who does not believe in their brand of Muslimism. The Taliban are not on the same page as ISIL.

Rules of gang warfare: don't mess with another gang's turf.... And just because we both don't like cops, doesn't mean I like you any better....

Have you watched the documentary? There are two, 45-ish minute documentary's on youtube about this. I watched them at my house, the next day my guys watched them. I believe in getting to know your opponent.
I will see if I can find them again. If I can, I will post the links.
