A strategy for the ISIS foreign fighter threat/ Thomas R.McCabe - 2016

This article proposes a modified strategy comprising three aspects: 1) a counter-narrative stressing ISIS's attacks on Sunni Muslims, questioning their religious credentials, and accurately describing conditions in ISIS-controlled territory, 2) a comprehensive effort to disrupt ISIS recruitment on social media, and 3) countering foreign fighter mobility through a comprehensive international effort to identify foreign fighters, suspending their passports and revoking their citizenship. Unfortunately even these efforts will only be a partial fix for the vastly larger problems of jihadism and radical Islam.
