More than that Gede Nurjaya, explained the inter-religious life in Bali with the concept menyamabraya, which means that togetherness can be established through good communication for the realization of a harmonious relationship.
"Good communication creates good relationships and good relationships will create peace in the heart and human conscience. In 2017 Bali occupies the number two position after NTT in terms of harmony among religious people. Apparently, after being traced, NTT implements a good communication system between each other and between religions. This shows that, we, as Balinese are lack of menyamabraya feeling. So that conflicts still arise, therefore we, the people who live on this island of god as much as possible continue to increase the menyamabraya feeling without seeing any kinds of groups," he said.

Related with the differentiation, communicate, discuss to reach deal. This Indonesia will not be beautiful if there is only one color, make this difference as diversity in coexistence. In relation to the many ideologies popping like HTI and others, we return to Pancasila as the source of all sources of law of the Indonesian nation." Said Saiful Salam clearly.
