Abstract
From 1967-1989, various essential events involved the interaction between Islam and Christianity in Indonesia. These events reflect the tension and mistrust between the two religions. Numerous leaders from both religions took part in the struggle. One of the significant Islamic leaders who enlivened the stage was Rasjidi. This paper elaborates on Mohammad Rasjidi's views on the relationship between Islam and Christianity in Indonesia from 1967-1989. This idea is a historical study. The primary sources for this study are Rasjidi's book, articles and news reports in the media. This study finds that for Rasjidi, the leading causes of distrust between the two religions were the abuse of deacons and the Christian misunderstanding of Islam. Rasjidi was a strong critic of Christianisation. This concept is inseparable from his background as a reformist Muslim and his religion-intellectual journey.
