It took nearly 800 years for the whole of Egypt to become majority Muslim and when Islam first arrived 674 CE it took only a few hundred years for the whole of the Indo-Malay Archipelago countries of Indonesia, Malaysia, Philipines, Brunei and Southern Thailand.
Today, there are more followers of the Shafi School of Thought in SE Asia than its country of origin and Indonesia is the most populous Muslim country and democracy and whilst Malaysia enjoys an admirable position amongst many Muslims because of its self built economic development model. With up to 250 million Muslims, Islam in SE Asia matters, it is multi-faceted and multi layered with its rich experience.
