The article analyzes the practice of constructing space, characteristic of the propaganda of radical Islamism. Based on the assumption about the mythological nature of the ideology of jihadists, the authors of this article consider it possible to assert the presence of special features of the spatial dimension inherent in jihadist propaganda and Islamist worldview. The authors identify the most striking features inherent in the category of the space of radical Islamism: a clear division into categories of sacred / profane and the inextricable connection of the out-space with the image of the enemy, and a number of geographic markers that frame the space of radical Islamism. The methods of constructing the sacred spaces of radical Islamism are also revealed: the conviction of the need for a mystical journey-transformation, the opposition of Dunya and Akhirat, the creation of virtual spaces of the imagination. On the example of the study of the practice of constructing the spaces of several actors of radical Islamism, a conclusion is made about the addition of a certain canon of the space-time picture of the world of radical Islamism.
