“…Also noteworthy were the relationship between religious consequences and external sources of moral authority, and the lack of relationship between religious consequences and principle and self-interest sources. This is consistent with the findings of some previous studies that religious people have a lower level of moral reasoning (Glover, 1997; Ji et al, 2009; Sapp and Gladding, 1989; Sapp and Jones, 1986). For instance, Ji, Ibrahm, and Kim (2009) stated that Muslim Indonesian respondents generally have lower level of moral reasoning and a lower level of principle moral judgment.…”

In opposition to their finding, the current study found a significant association of religious beliefs and religious feelings with principle source of moral authority in addition to their relationship with external sources of morality.…”

“…Glover (1997) showed a significant negative relationship between moral reasoning and religiosity and also stated that morality is independent of extrinsic religiosity. In a survey of Indonesian Moslems, Ji, Ibrahim, and Kim (2009) found that respondents generally had a lower level of principle moral reasoning. Against their expectations, they found that those with intrinsic religiosity are better able to judge on the basis of the principle issues and the post-conventional level of moral judgment while those with extrinsic religiosity tend to use the conventional level.…”

The authors' purpose is to investigate the relationship between religiosity, authoritarianism, and moral authority by considering religiosity as a multidimensional construct and morality from its sources of influence. Religiosity, authoritarianism, and moral authority scales were applied to a sample of 109 students from one high school and one university college in Semirom city in the province of Isfahan, Iran. Results showed that religious beliefs, feelings and consequences are related to external sources but only religious beliefs and feelings correlate with the principal source of moral authority. Findings also demonstrated a significant relationship between religious consequences and authoritarianism, and that their combination significantly predicts the external source of moral authority. Findings are discussed in relation to previous studies and we argue that previous conclusions about the authoritarian tendency of religious people and their reliance on external sources of moral reasoning are mostly about the religious consequences dimension.

“…These results were comparable to the studies done in students of different religions including Islam (Khan 1992). A study from Indonesia also revealed that Muslims in Indonesia are more likely to practice a nonprincipled mode of Kohlbergian moral reasoning, which would correspond to stages 1-4 on the DIT scale (Ji 2009). These findings may be attributable to cultural, economic, and pedagogical factors, which need to be explored further.…”

This paper investigates how Islamic tolerance contributes to solve religious conflict today that has impacted on various aspects such as economic collapse, insecurity in life, lack of professional society, academic retrogressions, and so on. Knowledge of these issues has become an urgent to build a community that is full of peace, harmony and unity. The paper suggests that Quranic views on tolerance should be understood and practiced in order to avoid disunity in society which is due to failure to appreciate tolerance values in association. The paper concludes problems or misunderstandings always occur in different religious societies, since every religion has its own teachings and principles, as well as each of them is interpreted in different ways.
