Vedic god's picture on an Islamic country's currency.

That is a tiny minority of the brainwashed wannabe arbi conservatives. Those are everywhere..

Majority of the Indonesians - both Muslims and Hindus are extremely proud of their Hindu heritage and that is unlikely to change in the forseebale future.

The symbol of Indonesian intelligence agency is Lord Hanuman and their national carrier is named after Lord Garuda..

Indonesians are a model to the whole Islamic world [except the Arabs who were the original practitioners of Islam] along with the Iranis.

Not sure actually, when i was in school, I had addiction to mobile chatting and i had dozens of indonesians brothers and sisters with whom i had contact over 3 years and it seemed to me all of them were over religious than Bangladeshis. It kinda depends on Madhabs, we and pakistanis are hanafis but they are shafi, i think shafi is more strict than hanafi.... Don't know about their liberal attitude...

majority - punjus and sindhis - are converted hindus. pashtuns were hindu/animist/buddhist. any other is insignificant in terms of numbers

again why is this relevent to the thread were there punjabi,s or pushtuns in indonesia no then its offtopic stop going offtopic and stick to the topic

The difference between Indonesia and Pakistan is that Indonesia does not face a external threat to it's existence like Pakistan does. If Pakistan did not have a hostile Hindu neighbor then we could also show similar sighs of appreciation.
Unfortunately for us, we have a hostile neighbor that poses a threat to our very identity so we have to make it clear to the world that we are different.

thats a false assumption. india is afraid of pakistan not other way. India is like the resposible middle class family man and pakistan is the local rowdy like in the movies.

lame excuse. your enemy is India the country and not Hinduism the religion. if you start to make that distinction, you would probably become less angry and less hostile. But thats not what you want right? being less angry at us would turn out to be the existential threat for Pakistan.

 

[Bhairava]

almost all the Indonesians even continue their sanskrit/Hindu names

Megawati Sukarnoputri... [she of the clouds, Megha and the daughter, putri, of Sukarno]...not some stupid arbi name...

really?
A country as big as India is afraid of a country 6x smaller then it?
I know you make low quality posts but seriously, it is low even for your standards.

The fact remains that Pakistan views India as a threat to it's existence.
What that means is that we will hold onto our differences, the fact that we are Muslims, stronger then Indonesia.

Did you read someone else post and then reply to mine?

I have no idea what you are on about.

The mind sees what it wants to see...

The Indonesian Islam of the agaban variety is more of a syncretic mix of Islam and the native cultures and since Islam there spread peacefully through traders they have less of a need to identify themselves different from Hindus and are confortable in their identity...

That is the difference, IMO, between Indonesia and South Asia..

 

[saiyan0321]

one thread and pakistan is the center of the talk just goes to show you the paranoia indians have with pakistan

Indonesia's flag carrier is Garuda.. named after the mystical giant bird of Hindu mythology. Being the most populous muslim Country in the planet it's nice to know that this ancient cultural bonding is still kept alive. Mark of a secured nation...

Not all peoples around the world change their identity just because they changed their religion.

That's true.

Another Indian superstition...
at its best!

But apparently even Indonesian Muslims believe in this 'superstition'

 

[Safriz]

Likewise the Pentacle (The five cornered star) on Pakistani Flag is also a Pagan insignia.....
But hey,Pakistan is a Muslim country.
