eng	Jihad by the Sword against Muslims and Infidels (The Phenomenon of Jihad by the Sword with focus on the Islamic State)	In my contribution to the conference I will describe the issue of "jihad by the sword" (armed jihad) and its use by specific Muslim groups that used it against otherwise-minded Muslims and various non-believers in history and present with a special focus on the Islamic State. Emphasis will be placed on the differences between the use of jihad against some Muslims as internal enemies of the faith and the effort to purify Islam from undesirable innovation (bid‘ah) on the one hand, and, on the other hand, the use of jihad against non-Muslim groups as external enemies of Islam. Finally, the contribution will focus on the understanding and use of these two forms of jihad by the Islamic State.	Jihad; Islamic State; stereotypes; terrorists;
