    That one Indonesian guy who’s been commenting for months for this video must be ecstatic rn
  • @hirokazemistral
    As an Indonesian Muslim, it needs to be repeated and emphasised: Indonesia is NOT an "Islamic country", it's a Muslim-majority country. There's a difference.
  • @copper_corgi
    I love how you mentioned Bali's accommodation of inebriated Aussies
  • As an Indonesian Muslim, I would like to tell you that Islam spread with justice and equality, when the colonizers brought greed and injustice.
  • @MAUTxxx
    Islamic syncretism in Indonesia is very interesting, such as the enduring Javanese tradition of making Tumpeng, rice "mountain" that is made during special ocassions such as when moving houses or the birthday of a child, with Islamic prayers to Allah, instead of offering them to local gods
  • @neakyol
    Indonesia’s history is so fascinating! Such a great center of culture and prosperity! Greetings to our Indonesian brothers and sisters from Türkiye!
  • @amimmaruf94
    As our first President says "If you're a Christian, don't be a westerner. If you're a Hindu, don't be an Indian. If you're a Buddhist, don't be a Chinese. If you're a Muslim, don't be an Arab. Be Indonesian!". Thank you for bringing a fresh point of view to our history, and thank you for respecting our culture by not screwing the pronunciation of the name of places or people. It shows how considerate you and your teams are and how much research and work you put into making this video.!

    I beg you sir, we need a Mexican drug war series. lots of battles, events, changes of groups over the years. 40k + dead from combat, 60k missing, 200k murdered through drug violence, 12k cartels dead, 100k imprisoned, 4k cops dead, few hundred military , 100k cartel members and 100k associates still on streets
  • @grvldix
    LMAO THAT AUSTRALIAN DRUNKARDS REFERENCE💀💀
  • I heard thousands of Indonesian folklore but I've never heard the story of Islamic foreigner can fly and lift up mountain.
  • @leodavinci8935
    How Indonesia Became the Largest Muslim Country? 1. Through trade 2. The King and elites convert first, so people who followed them will convert to Islam 3. Islam is easy to understand and suit for common people, such as believe in one God, no caste, no need sesajen (offering) to idols.
  • @wow69595
    Indonesia got mentioned 🗣️🗣️🗣️🦅🦅🦅
  • @mathieug6136
    Nice video! My wife is Indonesian and it's really easy to see the animist roots in their culture. They commonly talk about ghosts like it was a well known fact of life and 80% of their cinema, which is quite productive, is horror movies.

    "All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a White has no superiority over a Black nor a Black has any superiority over a White except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood." Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
  • @1stDRAGonLINE
    As an indonesian muslim i never heard about that folklore lol but i can understand why people like that.
  • @SidMajors
    Dutchie here. I've known many Indonesians. They are such warm people. Such an interesting country and culture! And oh my lord the food ♥ I know we have a conflicting history together, but in a strange sense I feel blessed to have the possibility to meet these people because of this history. Much love to all the Indonesians out there. Peace ✌
  • @geediosman6415
    Salam to all Indonesians. Indonesia reminds me of brazil in that it is its own cultural sphere. Indoesians are some of the most devout and friendliest muslims you will meet. all good for Indonesia
