The history of the encounter between the two religions makes Christian and Muslim parties always deal with each other. In Indonesia, Islam's suspicion of Western interference arises behind Christianity, which is considered to be trying to subdue Islam and make Muslims become apostates. On the other hand, Christians view that Muslims want to impose their religion on the Muslim world. This shows that the two religions are trying to be on guard against each other. One of the cities that played the most role in meeting missions and da'wah was Banten, which were coastal cities that became international trade routes. Initially offering under the control of the king of Sunda, most of them embracing Hinduism, then came the religion of Islam which influenced Banten so that it grew into Islamic kingdoms. The next period Banten was the arrival of Dutch imperialism which brought the mission of Christianization.
