Learning Tolerance and Understanding

Consider to the historical of social religion, living in harmony between Muslims and non-Muslims often appear the paradox view. On the one hand, religion is believed as a guarantor of safety and slavery, love, peace, and other humanitarian values. But on the other hand, the history also notes that religion also becomes a source, cause, and reason to do dehumanization practices that threaten global peace. Due to the religious factors, the people can grow the attitude of love each other, but also in the name of religion, they can kill, destroy, and negate each other.

In the rank of apologia normative, the believers can claim that their religion do not teach hostility, quarreling, and violence. They can say that their religion brings the mission of safety, guards the peace for all in the world, and many other good attributes. But the reality also shows that not a little violence and conflict happen closely link to the religion. Frequently, the religion ideal and its reality is in paradox place, by reducing the religion as the violence. Not a bit the violence based on religion heroically able to uphold the horror supremacy in the name of peace and humanity.

The new millennium that should be the new hope for the growth of world peace is fussed over any sadness of lives that shall in the name of religion. Terrorism, suicide using bombing, jihad "haphazard", and other humanity crimes are more lustrous and do not recognize space and time. As implication of these, how noble and glorious religion, in practice it becomes rotten, evil, and corrupt caused by the partial understanding of its religion. It does not the substance of religion to be corrupt, but the as a subject makes it be reduced. It does not wrong if there are some sociologists who said that religion has failed to create persons having high moral standards, by defeating the authenticity under the greed and religious manipulation.
