Summary/Abstract: This article, analytically and critically, analyses phenomenon of media spectacle or, more precisely, media religious spectacle, as a contemporary form of postmodern approach to the most delicate topics of contemporary B&H society. First of all, that includes islamophobia in pubic media space, in a form used and presented by two sides on different positions – Islamic Community of B&H on one hand and B/H media public on the other, if such division is possible in general B&H public as such. One can conclude that values are undermined; values important for B&H society and Muslim population as autochthon component, with premises which differ from general Muslim community in Europe. Categories of criminal responsibility, genocide, war crime, vandalism are, as I see them, unnecessarily included into fluid term of islamophobia.
