The results of the study indicate that the State Islamic College of Sorong West Papua has conducted many dialogues with interfaith leaders. The Dato Karama Palu State Islamic Religion Institute provided extensive opportunities for lecturers in the activities of harmony formation including the formation of former terrorist prisoners.
