The topic of this work was to investigate how the croatian daily newspaper reported on Islam based on the refugee crisis on the Balkan route. As a sample for this research are taken daily newspapers with a long tradition of existence in Croatia, Jutarnji list and Večernji list. The research goal of this work was to give a representation of Islam on the basis of the refugee crisis in the daily newspapers. It is used qualitative and quantitative content analysis. Four hypotheses were set, one of them is basic and four auxiliary. The basic hypothesis that is not proved is: "When reporting on a refugee crisis, migrants, in the study of daily newspapers, mostly do associate with Islamic faith." The hypothesis is set as the basic one, because its believed that the Jutarnji list and Večernji List, in the articles on the refugee crisis, did link Islam with the mentioned events and refugees. It is also proved the assumption that the Večernji list has more often published articles on Islam based on the refugee crisis on the Balkan route. Half of the articles published on this topic were followed by a sensationalist title. The dominant topic in articles referring to Islam on the basis of the refugee crisis on the Balkan route was the crisis of the internal and external policies of countries on that route. Jutarnji list and Večernji list, were often written about islam as a religion that threatens the internal security of the state and the European foundations built on Christianity. Considering the complexity of the topic, I believe that there are a number of areas that need to be explored in order to get a complete picture of the representation of Islam based on the Balkan refugee crisis, in the Croatian media.
