Since the emergence in Levant, including Iraq and Syria, ISIS Takfiri– Terrorist Group has claimed Khorasan Province (Afghanistan& some regions in central Asia) as part of its reign and by the way proclaimed its existence and identity under this title. The first issue about the presence of ISIS In Khorasan Province, especially in those of central Asia which this research focuses on, is that what are the main contexts of ISIS presence & influence in this region? What potentials and capacities does central Asia possess to give this extremist Group the opportunity of emergence? Temporary answer to this question as the hypothesis is that authoritarian and secular political structure, wrong approach and actions of regional governments in facing extremism, extremist fundamentalist groups in the region, volatile and complex social context in central Asian countries, critical geographic hot spots such as Fergana Valley and Afghanistan and presence of civilians of countries of the region in ISIS ranks are the most important factors which can lead to emergence of ISIS.
