Religious harmony in Malaysia is something that cannot be separated in the context of realizing social peace and stability in Malaysia. Guarding the sensitivities of each party is necessary in avoiding the interception of conflict between other religions and races. From another point, Malaysia is a Muslim-based country in terms of its constitutional rights, which has been introduced since the advent of Islam in the 15th century. This means that Islam should have a big role, and even needs to be prioritized in approaching interfaith issues. In 2001 the Interfaith Council movement was set up to introduce and recommend the rights based on the values of Western pluralism that differ greatly from the structure, concept, custom, and understanding of an existing Islamic constitution in Malaysia. This study uses the text anaylysis methodology including draft bills and statements of the IFC, together with the chronology of events since its inception to identify the impact of its implementation. IFC is also based on a western worldview that projects its incompatibility with the Islamic framework in Malaysia. The study also suggested the re-establishment of the IFC system based on Islamic worldview, to protect both the interest of Islam and the ummah.

Abstrak
Serasi dengan sosio-budaya masyarakat Malaysia yang berbilang agama, keharmonian agama di Malaysia adalah sesuatu yang tidak boleh dipisahkan dalam konteks merealisasikan keamanan di Malaysia. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menyelidik asas, sebab, objektif, dan motif pertubuhan Interfaith Commission of Malaysia, yang mana semenjak wujudnya pertubuhan ini, tercetus pelbagai kontroversi dari pelbagai pihak organisasi dan masyarakat Islam. Malaysia adalah sebuah negara yang berteraskan Islam dari segi infrastruktur perlembagaan undang-undang yang telah diperkenalkan semenjak kedatangan Islam pada abad ke-15. Ini bermakna agama Islam semestinya memainkan peranan yang besar, bahkan perlu diprioritikan dalam kebanyakan isu-isu semasa. Kita dapati pada tahun 2001 gerakan Interfaith Council telah ditubuhkan untuk memperkenalkan dan mengesyorkan hak-hak asasi berteraskan nilai-nilai pluralisme Barat yang amat berbeza dari struktur, konsep, adat, dan fahaman perlembagaan Islam yang telah sedia ada di Malaysia. Kajian ini menggunakan analisis teks, draf bil, dan kenyataan rasmi pihak IFC, bersama-sama dengan kronologi kejadian semenjak penubuhannya untuk mengidentifikasikan impak implementasinya. IFC juga ditubuhkan dengan berteraskan pandangan alam barat yang berpotensi untuk menyisihkan kerangka kerja Islam di Malaysia. Kajian juga mencadangkan penggubahan sistem IFC perlu mengambil kira pandangan alam Islam.
Kata Kunci: Interfaith Commission of Malaysia, Islam, Malik Sarwar, pluralisme, hak asasi.
