I always thought it was interesting that, I guess due to Arab racism, it's also not very represented in the community of Islam.

Like, Indonesia (and together with Malaysia) makes up a really significant portion of all muslims. As an outsider it still seems like there isn't much cultural overlap- which seems like, even if Indonesian culture wouldn't reach Europe or the USA, at least it would reach to the middle east / north africa because of the the religious link.

I could have drawn some parallels between Catholics and South America, but there's already two Popes that have Latin American roots.
