Im diskursiven Kampf um das prophetische Erbe: Religiöse Autostereotypisierungen von >Salafis< und ihre Heterostereotypisierungen der >Sufis< als dem >Anderen< im >Eigenen<.

- Abstract
Contemporary >Sulis< and >Salafis< fight with each other for the prerogative to interpret what»true Islam< is supposed to look like. In doing so, the use of religious auto-stereotypes as well as hetero-stereotypes is central to enhancing their own position and devaluing their opponent, in order to exclude them from the discourse. Due to the relatively young age of Salafism, as well as its conceptual orientation, the reference back to early Islam's rich polemical heresy-based vocabulary is crucial to the Salafist approach to generating legitimacy. Although this intra-Islamic discourse is also fought within Western societies, the general public only has a very limited knowledge about these debates. As such, the aim of this article is to trace and expound upon some of the most important and most usual religious stereotypes employed by >Salafis< about themselves and the >Sufis<.
