eng	‘Muslim Fundamentalism’ and Its Mass Media Representation in BBC News	The way how Muslim fundamentalism is reported, be it social sciences or mass media, is concerning due to chaotic accomplishing as well as the lack of theory and any fixed frame what fundamentalism actually is. Nowadays to mark a movement fundamentalist is definitely in accord with explaining neither its character, nor the heart of the fundamentalism matter. This paper focuses on phenomena, such as Islamism, Salafism, Jihadism, that are frequently labelled as Muslim fundamentalism in general. The question of their relevance in given context, the issue of mass media representation and interpretation principles form the theoretical frame of the paper. Analysis of mass media contents (including the terms discussed) published on BBC News websites between November 2010 and November 2014 follows. The findings show how the BBC mass media picture of Muslim fundamentalism manipulates public opinion of Muslims as a social (religious) group and fortifies intuitive stereotypes.
