| description | The purposes of this paper are to examine the<br />role of FEDMIN in building solidarity and<br />resilience between Muslims and Buddhists and<br />to find a model of peaceful coexistence among<br />people of different faiths in northeast Thailand<br />called “Isan region”. The research area was<br />focused on the peaceful coexistence between<br />Muslims and Buddhist in particular in Ban Nong<br />Muen Tao village, Mueang, Udon Thani<br />province. The study found that there were four<br />important roles of FEDMIN in building solidarity<br />and resilience among people of different faiths.<br />Firstly, demonstrating the real image of Islam<br />and Muslims to the other people of different<br />faiths through the FEDMIN leaders’ role and<br />personality in practicing peaceful coexistence,<br />FEDMIN’s Santhitham Wittaya School, Muslim<br />village model, which were described as “an<br />intellectual contribution of Muslim community<br />for the public”, FEDMIN Muslim area as a field<br />trip attraction to the Authorities. Secondly,<br />encouraging Muslims and Buddhists to set up a<br />suitable atmosphere of dialogue of action based<br />on socially engaged Islam and Buddhism<br />concept which was demonstrated by the faithbased<br />community forum as “comfort space” in<br />which a suitable atmosphere of dialogue of<br />action can exist. Third, empowering religious<br />institution to play a vital role in preaching the<br />principles of peaceful coexistence to believers<br />becoming citizen of the society through Islamic<br />sermon- Khutbah, Islamic class, establishing<br />Santhitham Wittaya school as a substantive<br />contribution from Muslim community to the<br />public, and Community Radio Station project as<br />a positive media which supported to create an<br />atmosphere of citizenship among people of<br />different faiths in the village. |
