Abstract

Indonesia and Malaysia, as Muslim-majority nations, are recognized for their tolerance of other religious groups. However, this study highlights underlying challenges threatening social stability in both countries. Focusing on Gorontalo, Indonesia, and Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia, the research examines the dynamics of religious pluralism and its societal challenges. Using a qualitative approach, main data were gathered through interviews with interfaith leaders, teachers, activists, and officials. The findings reveal that, while harmony and interfaith dialogue exist, challenges persist. In Gorontalo, minority communities face difficulties in constructing places of worship and acquiring suitable religious teachers. In Negeri Sembilan tensions arise over proper use of “religious plurality” or “pluralism” and the use of the term “Allah” by the Christians. Apparently, on top of the existing efforts other creative ways need to be used to strengthen religious harmony catering for the ever evolving social complexities in both regions.

Abstract

This study examines the ideological orientations shaping indigenous education in the context of environmental protection and food security amid deepening marginalization. The research employs a mixed-methods design, combining William O’Neill’s Educational Ideology Questionnaire with qualitative observations and in-depth interviews. The findings reveal that indigenous education actors predominantly adopt conservative and intellectualist orientations, emphasizing the preservation of customary values, ecological balance, and structured knowledge transmission. Institutional practices, however, reflect more liberal tendencies, prioritizing inclusivity and adaptive learning. This interplay of ideologies positions education as both contextual and emancipatory, reinforcing indigenous agency in advancing ecological resilience, food sovereignty, and social justice.Keywords: environmental protection; food security; educational ideology; indigenous peoples
