Abstract

This study examines the views of young Muslim generation in Makassar who are actively involved in interfaith programs. This study identified that most of students who are actively involved in interfaith dialogue are lack of theological foundation but keen to understand more about the ethic of interfaith dialogue from Quranic perspective. The study also found the reasons of why young Muslim are eager to be involved in interfaith dialogue between Muslim and Non-Muslim. This research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. The data were collected using a depth-interviewed, observation as well as documentation. In conclusion, theological foundation of interfaith dialogue must be taught to a young generation who are involved in the interfaith movement because they are often unable to demonstrate the theological basis of interfaith dialogue. Besides, the pattern of interfaith dialogue should begin to change. The form of dialogue should not only present by discussion but also present in more interesting and interactive models.
