“公共论坛: 煽动宗教抗争抑或制造族群政治的矛盾?”

阿拉谓称是否有「专属权」？回教作为国家宗教的崇高地位应该高至什麽程度？国家宪法予以的各个宗教的信仰自由有什麽保障？统治者在宗教论争中的超然地位在那裡？宗教与信仰的抗争和冲突为何持续不断地被挑起？大马各民族面对此境应该如何应对？

自从阿拉的谓称被禁止在伊斯兰教之外的其他宗教使用之后，就有基督教继续使用、JAIS多 次擅自进入基督教场所检查盘问、巫统和土权大肆宣传回教徒被诱导叛教以及锡克教等担心它们也受「阿拉禁令」牵连等事件。甚而政府与基督教之间的「十点协 议」是否被遵守、东西马两地基督教有不同权利以及我国对「阿拉」谓称的诠释有别于其他伊斯兰世界等是否合理等，皆成为我国法治平等的议论课题。

华社研究中心及陈嘉庚纪念馆本着对华社的关怀和对大马各族群社会的安定和权益的关注，决定于2014年1月23日（星期四）晚上8时正，在陈嘉庚纪念馆(隆雪中华大会堂右侧楼梯入口三楼)举办公众座谈会，及时应对时局发展。

我 们有幸邀请到几位国内知名的伊斯兰及基督教研究的学者，包括拉曼大学中文系系主任陈中和博士、伊斯兰党前中央委员会理事邢福庄先生与伊斯兰及基督教研究学 者马来西亚圣经神学院前院长现任研究学者兼牧师陈金狮博士，分别从专业及宗教的角度探析阿拉称谓争议的各方面，期使华社各界人士能专业及深入了解这项有关 的宗教和族群的争议课题。

同时，著名人权律师、华教机构法律顾问杨培根律师也将提呈一篇重要论文，从宪法与人权的角度，为阿拉争议把脉。

本次公共论坛的主持人是华社研究中心董事兼策略研究小组主任，著名媒体人、时事评论员吴彦华先生。

Colloquium on Freedom of Conscience

Date: Saturday, 15 February 2014
Time: 0900-1800H
Venue: White Box, Publika, Sri Hartamas, Kuala Lumpur

Registration: http://www.eventbrite.com/e/colloqium-freedom-of-expression-tickets-10251902717

One of the assumptions in the dialogue of the civilizations is accepting the variety of ideas and religions. The civilizations are based on different cultures and different cultures have been found on the basis of various schools of thought and religions. For dialogue of civilizations and cultures is perhaps not possible without freedom of religion and thought.

But the reality today is that freedom of conscience is considered as one of the most highly debatable issues in our society. One segment of the society believes that Islam ensures freedom of religion and thought. For Islam is a liberating call, a comprehensive liberating revolution to liberate the minds, to release people from fear, to release their lives from tyranny and their gains from exploitation and domination.

While another much greater segment believes that the society should be controlled from any unwanted ideas that could contaminate the minds. And that people who are exposed to the propaganda of various ideas and religions would be easily deviated from the right path and would be influenced by evil forces and subsequently lose their religion and creed. And the only way to ensure that people remain faith to their religion is to forbid any discourse on ideas and beliefs.

It is the aim of the colloquium to answer the following questions: What is meant by freedom of conscience and religion? Where does it fit in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights? What is the point of view of the popular Islamic interpretation on the subject of freedom of conscience and religion? And is freedom of conscience beneficial or is it destructive? These are some of the questions that will be discussed and dissected in this colloquium.
