| Summary: | The study of religion emphasized on the objectivity and scientific approaches.
Different approaches have been used in interfaith dialogue within the Islamic
framework in order to create a harmonious platform of discussion between religions.
Religious polemic, within an extreme platform, could risk the build of society at many
levels as well as affecting religious tolerance among society with different backgrounds
of races and religions. In the context of Malaysia, the implementation of interfaith
dialogue has been a common practice organized by different organizations which
involved common values and different approaches. This paper is to significantly
address the guidelines in conducting interfaith dialogue in the context of Malaysia and
the adaptation of those approaches to improve religious tolerance in Malaysia. The
methodology adopted for this paper is the qualitative approach which included
literature review, observation as well as particular interviews with three people who
represented different religious organizations. The finding shows that even though
interfaith dialogue has been acknowledged as the best platform for religious
discussions, there are still possible improvements and suggestions to be implemented
in its establishment. |
