While Indonesia may be the largest Muslim nation, they are not the same as one would take Muslim nations to be.
To use a modern term, they are 'cool' and 'hep'.
They do not have the Islamic hangover.
I have an Indonesian Muslim relative and I also had a Muslim Indonesian maid when I was in Singapore!
If they were conservative as Muslims are said to be, then I was more conservative than them.
I would classify them as more hep and cool than us!
The Indonesians are in close defence relationship with India too!
