I’m looking forward to reading this in detail:
Jonathan Evans, Kelsey Jo Starr, Manolo Corichi and William Miner, Pew Research Center, Buddhism, Islam and Religious Pluralism in South and Southeast Asia, 12 Sep 2023. “In some ways, Buddhism’s links to national identity in these countries parallel the role of Islam in the neighboring Muslim-majority countries of Indonesia and Malaysia. Nearly all Muslims in both countries say being Muslim is important to be truly Indonesian or Malaysian. And Muslims in both countries commonly describe Islam as a culture, family tradition or ethnicity – not just “a religion one chooses to follow.””
