PERBEDAAN SIKAP KEBERAGAMAAN ANTARA MASYARAKAT ISLAM DAN KRISTIANI DI SUMATRA UTARA DAN FRANKFURT AM MAIN JERMAN

Abstract:  This article seeks to reveal differences of religious attitudes  between  Muslim  and  Christian  communities  in North  Sumatera  and  Frankfurt  Am  Main  Germany.  This article  shows  that  the  relation  between  Muslims  and Christians  can  be  understood  to  have  taken  place  in  two categories,  positive  and  negative.  Positive  relation  can  be attested through integrating factors between the two religious communities, while negative relation can be attested through separating  factors.  In  North  Sumatera  there  exist  local wisdoms  which  serve  as  adhesive  factors  of  MuslimChristian  relation,  such  as  the  concept  of  ‘marga”  among Batakese society. Meanwhile, pig either as food or as pet is regarded  as  a  dividing  factor  together  with  fanaticism  and exclusivism.  In  Germany,  as  majority  group  the  Christians are  tolerant  towards  Muslims  due  to  the  rule  of  law  in  the country.  This  tolerance  becomes  an  adhesive  factor,  while mutual  suspicion  among  both  Muslims  and  Christians  is raeagrded as dividing factor.
Keywords:  Social  relations;  Muslims;  Christians;  adhesive and dividing factors
