- Abstract
This article was aimed at exploring the construction of radicalism narrations by using prophetic traditions, which appeared in radical groups namely Islamic State (IS). The data of radicalism narrations were taken from three documents of IS propaganda. This study was a critical discourse analysis (CDA) to reveal the construction of radicalism narrations used by IS. The result of the research showed that IS has quoted some prophetic traditions of hijra and framed it into three main narrations; 1) the narration of establishing caliphate's state, 2) the narrations of classical concept of Muslims' religious territories divided to Dar al-Kufr (Infidel Territory) and Dar al-Islam (Islamic territory), and 3) the narrations of apocalyptic fears. The study concluded that IS had quoted some prophetic traditions to make IS' own narrations to strengthen their ideological mission. Then, these narrations became certain discourse to dominate and alienate others who contradict with IS. Furthermore, this research also included Sara Zeiger's findings about the important of ideological approach to understand and avoid the development of extreme radicalism movements through contrary-narration. In contrast, Ali Ashgar tended to ignore the importance of text/narration/ideological approach to counter the development of extreme radicalism movements.
