The problem of terrorism and the associated inadequate perception of Islam in the world is a growing concern. However, portraying Muslims as radical religious fanatics who deny other religions and violently fight dissent has nothing to do with true Islamic ideology. The knowledge that is presented in Islam and used by Muslims to build their worldview system is exploited in a misinterpreted form. This is transforming the perception of Islam around the world as a radical religious system that supports intolerance and conflicts. In particular, the narrative of the Islamic State (IS) uses distorted concepts about jihadi, Sharia, shahid, Caliphate, kuffar, and al-Qiyāmah to promote aggression and violence. The leaders of radical Islamic movements lack the wisdom to take a deeper look at existing knowledge and interpret it in the modern context. Islamic ideology offers a formed view of certain events, which in the narrative of extremist organizations such as IS take a distorted form. This assumption can be illustrated by the way IS perceives and speaks about jihad. In particular, the religious war is promoted as an act aimed at spreading religious beliefs outside the Muslim territories. Sandberg and Colvin cite as an example the idea of ​​one of the respondents about this concept. He notes that “Jihad is when you are being attacked for being a Muslim and you defend yourself in God’s name and for yourself” (Sandberg and Colvin 1591). Another respondent also emphasizes that jihad is more of an internal spiritual war, which every Muslim wages within himself (Sandberg and Colvin 1591-1592). However, in the minds of most people, especially in the West, this concept is associated exclusively with terrorism in its radical form, thus generating cultural prejudices about Islam and Muslims. In particular, this perception is associated with the activities of members of radical organizations performing acts of self-sacrifice through the explosion of bombs in crowded places. This phenomenon also has its roots in Islamic ideology but has acquired a different meaning within the narrative of IS. In particular, the practice of jihadi is associated with criminal activities that lead to the death of many people. In the Islamic ideology, there are shaheeds or martyrs who died or sacrificed themselves for the sake of Allah. Within the framework of radical rhetoric, this concept is used to kill innocent people, which is contrary to Islamic doctrine (Sandberg and Colvin 1593). The martyrs are promised a place in paradise, but only for righteous deeds (Sandberg and Colvin 1593). When a suicide bomber hurts oneself and some other innocent people, he turns into a criminal. Killing is a sin in the Muslim faith, so such acts of self-sacrifice show that “jihadi narratives are criminogenic” (Sandberg and Colvin 1593). Thus, in combination with distorted notions of holy war, radical organizations also justify mass murder through the narrative of self-sacrifice absolution from sins. The activities of terrorist organizations are often associated with Sharia law, the set of rules that lays the moral foundations of Islamic ideology. In particular, the use of this concept is common among IS militants (Sandberg a
