In Indonesia, generally speaking relation between Muslims and Non-Muslims is smooth. It’s no problem if you are a follower of any religion other than Islam which is the religion of majority.
So talking about other religion is okay, as long as no offensive remark is included.
Interestingly, sometimes non Muslims give interesting inputs to Muslims. Let’s take two examples:
Ahok AKA Basuki Tjahaya Purnama, Christian, ex governor of Jakarta:
About chicken, he urged Muslims to fix their way of slaughtering chickens so as to make the chicken’s meat free from left blood, which is not only unhealthy, but also religiously not allowed to consume.
He even explained how Prophet Muhammad taught his people to slaughter cattles with proper way.
Too bad, Ahok’s suggestion didn’t work. (Raw) chicken meats are still filled with blood. That’s quite disappointing.
Bule Barbie AKA Daria Gartman, Christian, entertainer from Germany.
She said she is interested in Islam and still learning about it.
In daily conversation, she likes to use Islamic expressions such as “Alhamdulillah” or “In Sya Allah”, or “Bismillahirrahmanirrahim” etc.
What surprising is, she feels ‘energy’ within those expressions.
This kind of teaching of hers is special, even we hardly find it from preachers. π
