Islámský stát, or the Islamic State (often abbreviated as ISIS or ISIL), refers to a militant group that emerged from the context of the Iraqi insurgency and the Syrian civil war. The group is known for its extremist interpretations of Islam and its aim to establish a caliphate governed by its strict interpretation of Sharia law. It gained significant notoriety in the early 2010s for its brutal tactics, including mass killings, forced conversions, and widespread human rights abuses.
The Islamic State declared itself a caliphate in 2014, claiming religious authority over Muslims worldwide and seeking to expand its territory through warfare and terrorism. Its activities have led to a large-scale humanitarian crisis, with millions displaced and countless lives lost. The group has also been involved in sophisticated propaganda campaigns, using social media to recruit fighters and spread its ideology globally.
While it has lost significant territory and influence in recent years due to military actions taken against it by various coalitions, the Islamic State remains a significant threat through its networks and extremist ideology. The term „Islámský stát“ is thus associated with discussions of terrorism, radicalization, and counter-terrorism efforts in modern geopolitical contexts.
