| Sumario: | While global interest on Islam is growing in a number of non-Muslim countries, Muslims in Muslim-majority countries show growing enthusiasm in inter-religious studies, that includes subjects like Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Confucianism. The Inter-Religious Study program at the State Islamic University of Bandung (UIN Bandung) shows this phenomenon with the increasing number of undergraduate students of this study program during the last 3 years.
