The author retraces different conceptions of jihad and its political uses throughout Muslim history. He therefore shows the importance of contextualizing the various interpretations of jihad and the actions carried out in its name. It is important to avoid the pitfall of treating jihad within an essentialist vision of Islam that ties it to an intrinsic and absolute tendency towards sacralized violence, and instead to question the political and social issues that underlie its various interpretations.
