“Talking about religion is a sensitive thing” said Mr. Hatim in last and first humanistic studies I class meeting. It is getting more sensitive when we talk about this in various religions around. As I ever read from a book that when someone tries coming into some religion in order to know how other religion’s mindset and understanding is, finally she or he will come to his or her original belief. As I know that the lecturer of this subject is Moslem, I am a bit afraid and worried that Islam will dominate this class. Actually, the class consists of two and it seems uncomfortable to dominate something of one side. In sharing opinions, there will be most of Muslims who share because they feel having more freedom. In the other side, others will just be good listeners of this, they may feel being discriminated. I think the class is incomplete, because it just consists of two whereas at least there are five. Finally, it will be Moslem class discussion forum. Based on that condition, I hope that this class will be okay over time.
In other universities especially for religious universities, they talk about religion in a good things for their selves and bad things for others. It causes religion disintegration. They will say that the community and they are the most correct. In Humanistic Study 1, we will not just talk about a religion and deny others, but here we will open our mind to have one way in diversity.
I said “yours will never be ours” as my reflection title. Why do I say that? Because unity life in diversity it does not mean that I will have no a guide or religion in my life and join in every single religion as a part of them. Everyone must have religion to be his or her guidance of life. After that, we keep our belief, tolerate and respect others. Are we still different? Yes, absolutely. Theirs will never be ours and ours forever will be ours.
How far my thinking is of this lesson! Hehehehe
Yes, those are my reflection of this lesson in the beginning. I think in those sentences I already forget that in this lesson will not just talk about religion but also others. I really pay attention to religion topic because I love talking about this. I hope there will be no internal attack next time in this lesson. The last is I hope I will capable to do every single assignment well.
Great posting..........I'm with u that we have learn other religions. You say
ReplyDelete"when someone tries coming into some religion in order to know how other religion’s mindset and understanding is, finally she or he will come to his or her original belief", I like this statement.
I know that most students are Muslim, as well I understand ur' worry that Islam will dominate. We will discuss religions in general. Islam specifically will be discussed deeper than other religions, but it doesn't mean that it discrimination. We need to talk about Islam deeper because there are many problems caused muslim.
Please actively participate in this class.
Do the best

ReplyDeleteI with u that we need to know about and learn from other religion. You said that "when someone tries coming into some religion in order to know how other religion’s mindset and understanding is, finally she or he will come to his or her original belief"
I know that Most students are Muslim, but we will discuss religions in general. Surely, we will discuss Islam deeper than other religions because there are many problem caused Muslim, but it doesn't mean discrimination.
