Interfaith Talk 10

Understanding each other’s faith in our Malaysian context is good.
Tolerance is a good virtue to be upheld to ensure our nation isn’t harmed by inter-communal strife and needless violence caused by faith based enmity.
The problem starts when one faith or several faiths join up to interfere or attempt to change another’s principles.
Explaining one’s faith as done here by those of you is good.
The Inter Faith Commission proposed by the MCCBCHS however is detrimental to the Faith of Islam and is thus opposed by Muslims like me and those in the ACCIN.
The general purpose of coming to respect one another’s Way of Life as you guys have done here is admirable but the proposed IFC and its demands to dictate to Muslims on giving in to demands that they are seeking for is simply unacceptable by us.
This Interfaith Talk seems fair and decent. This is preferable and much better than what the IFC stands for.
I wish you all the best and keep things fair for everyone. Should be no problem in the long run.Good luck on your work here.
