I have a Malaysian friend. He's one of the "good Muslims" and I agree whole-heartedly that while radical Islamic doctrine is a threat to 21st century Western civilization, not all Muslims are radicals, and the Indonesians and the Malaysians are proof.
Remember, the Arabs don't have that much respect for them. After all, they're Muslim brothers, but they're not Arabs!
You are right that not all Muslims are Arabs, but that does not change the fact that according to their book, they must convert the whole world to their religion. If people do not convert they must be made into second class citizens. There is no seperation of church and state in Islam.
Arab Muslims view other Muslims as useful idiots.
