ABSTRACT
This paper aims to consider steps toward coexistence and increased understanding between Muslims and Christians in a multi-cultural society although conclusive solutions to unite the two communities is not possible. The content will cover the historical relationship and background of the conflict between the Muslim and Christian communities and recount the historical development and the characteristics of Islamization which was implemented under the supervision of the Malaysian government from the 1980s to the present. This paper will examine and analyze how Islamization has been harnessed for the purposes of the political parties, UMNO and the opposition party, PAS, as a means to a political Islam or social integration. Issues between Muslims and Christians and their respective opinions will be examined. Furthermore, the paper discusses the attitude of the government towards the conflict. The conclusion comments on the role of the government in Islamization, controversial issues and its effect on the relationship between Muslims and Christians in the context of contemporary Malaysia.
This paper is an attempt to suggest better ways to those with different beliefs in understanding one another and to offer an analysis of the ways Islamic policies are being processed by Malaysian society.
