“…Ada juga tulisan tentang PBA yang terjadi di Bali (Bhajan, 2014) dan sejumlah negara lain (Dowd, 2013;Rosdiana & Bahtiar, 2020).

“…Pendapat kedua menyatakan bahwa PBA dapat dicatatkan dan dapat dilaksanakan sesuai hukum agama (Sidiqah, 2023;Kanas et al, 2015). Dalam pendapat pertama, kasus PBA bisa dianggap bukanlah bagian dari moderasi beragama yang diprogram oleh pemerintah karena PBA dianggap sebagai hal yang dilarang (Sirry, 2013).
