【 摘 要 】

The Islamic State (IS) group is making its way into Afghanistan to use the country as a route for penetrating the Central Asian Republics. This paper proposes a new policy option for the Afghan government to tackle the IS challenge in the country with a public awareness campaign instead of opening a new military front, since the government is already devoting its current military capabilities to fighting the Taliban insurgency. The Afghan president has the authority and responsibility to tackle the threat before it becomes unmanageable.
