Home Section page B3 PM's 4 BASIC RULES FOR RELIGIOUS HARMONY

1a) What are the 4 rules for religious harmony?

b) In your opinion, how can we maintain a common space in schools?

2) Do you respect other religions? Why or why not?
What do you think of children who stay away from their parents' funerals because they believe the traditional rites are against their new religion?

Ans 1a) tolerating each other’s differences and not discriminate each other’s religion due to one’s thought of another’s religion’s practices is taboo. Secondly, separating religion and politics so that proper justice can be delivered in this society without any religious interference in this advancing society where there would be lesser people expected to follow the olden ways. Thirdly, the laws of justice must be open to all for everyone to decide. But, moral values must be uphold, everyone must give go ahead for each other’s opinion regardless of one’s religion so as to achieve a better “law” which everyone does not feel that it is prejudice to one or more religions. Lastly, out justice system must include laws that satisfy the requirements of the religion without having them to perform similar actions that are not violating their religion sets of ways. For example , Muslims eat halal food while Hindus are forbidden to eat beef, Buddhist are only permitted to eat vegetables. We could offer them the food of their choice while not requesting them to eat the same food.

1b)we could encourage others to join in conversations between other races to promote relationship between them or we could organize them to work together.

2) I always try to respect other’s religion as I believe that our relationship should not affected by our religion ways or anything related to it that is consider taboo to others. For instance, a child that stays away from their parents' funerals because they believe the traditional rites are against their new religion should not be criticized as everyone has their own differences and should respect one another if they wish to receive it from others. By the way, visiting parent’s funeral is also a religion act so why not accept each other’s action? They are not harming others or being malicious.
