The legal norms of the laws of the Kazakhstan Republic, which regulate the application of the countermeasures against religious extremism, the court practice, the statistic data, reflecting the results of the legal norms application have been studied. The role of the country's leadership, especially the President of the Kazakhstan Republic Nursultan Nazarbayev in the development, implementation and improvement of the public policy of fight against religious extremism is emphasized. While studying the foreign approaches, the authors suggest to formalize in law the status of a traditional religious organization, assuming, that thereby one could join the efforts of the state and the clergy in preventing the spread of religious extremism. Some proposals for developing the cooperation between the state and the clergy in this area have been made.
