This paper questions the resistance of religious and political gender relations in the relationship between Islam, Judaism, and Catholicism in Ayat-Ayat Cinta film (AAC). This research is a qualitative study that illustrates the crossing and resistance relations of religious adherents in the discourse of humanity. The research method is used in this study is Sara Mills’s approach is more looking at how actors' positions are displayed in the text. The results of his research are the violence in interfaith relations caused by the construction of adherents of religion both produced through individuals and different social structures in the fight for humanity. The conclusion can be explained that the relationship between adherents of different religions, especially followers of Islam as a minority always gets pressure in the form of; swear, poor image, stupid, donkey, savage, and terrorist. Meanwhile, on the other hand, Muslims are constructed as tolerant, polite, friendly, and helpful.
