| Summary: | Amid global religious conflicts, the role of youth in promoting peace and interfaith harmony is crucial. This research examined the attitudes of Bangladeshi Muslim college students towards other religions through an exploratory qualitative study involving sixty participants across six focus groups. The findings revealed a range of both positive and negative attitudes. On the positive side, themes such as respect for other religious beliefs, conversion, friendship and cooperation, religiosity, and brotherly acceptance emerged. Conversely, negative themes included suspicion, biased opinions, prejudice, and indifference. The study concluded with discussions on recommendations, limitations, and future research directions. |
