You seem full of hatred.
Approximately 1-2 million Arabs have South East Asian ancestry. Many local citizens in KSA are of Southeast Asian ancestry! You don't have a clue of what you are talking about.
Are you angry because some Indonesian murderers or drug dealers were executed for breaking local law or those who are on death row? Indonesia itself has executed, recently even, foreign drug dealers as well.

You are once again showcasing your intellect. There are 450 million Arabs. Most are Sunni Muslims while there are also a big Shia Muslim minority as well as millions of Christians and Jews. There is nothing called "Wahhabism". It's the Hanbali fiqh and that is a minority fiqh anywhere in the Arab world even in KSA.
Hanbali - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
KSA as the cradle of Islam is home to all Muslim sects indigenously as the only Muslim country that I can think of. Meaning that there are significant native Sunnis of all the 4 main madahib (Shafi'i, Maliki, Hanbali, Hanafi), Shias (Zaydi, Twelver, Ismaili) etc. Sunnis (Shafi'i, Hanbali, Maliki, Hanafi) constitute 75-80% of the population!
Who said that? I said that thanks to Arab merchants and the Arab control of the Indian Ocean and Arab Sea Indonesian spices reached the WEALTHIER Arab World/Middle East not to say Europe! You are totally underestimating that due to your bias and hatred.
Are you dumb? I said that Arabs influenced Indonesian architecture and that is true. Indonesian Islamic architecture is heavily influenced by Arab architecture. Only blind people would deny it.
Nobody has denied or written anything about pre-Islamic Indonesia not having any history!
Anyway it's obvious that you are a hostile person and cannot look at historical facts objectively and now you are also putting words in my mouth. Reread what I wrote.
Arabs have no hatred for Indonesia rather the opposite most Arabs like Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia etc.) a lot and travel there as tourists. Also whether you like it those "evil Arabs" are your biggest non-native minority so you need to learn to live with them. They are going nowhere!
Now this thread is about Arab-Americans not silly discussions with people who have only hatred to offer out of nowhere. I am not interested.
The first Islam of course was introduced in Sumatra as we all know that Aceh sultanate is the first Islamic kingdom in Indonesia since it is the region which is in the trade route. We dont know whether it was Persian or Arab, etc since in the old time, in general they were under Abassiyah or Muawiyah kingdoms (Arabs). Wahhabism itself come later. In the old time, all Muslim scholar learn Tasawuf/Sufism in Baghdad as the main Islamic teaching beside Hadith and others.
@Saif al-Arab
Man, Aramco will invest much in Indonesia. You said that your father is working there. Maybe I can provide some service for that company.
I don't know what is the problem with this individual. I never wrote a bad thing about Indonesia or Indonesian nor anything that is not a historical fact. Yet he thinks that I have attacked pre-Islamic Indonesian culture (which I did not even mention with a single word) or that Arabs founded everything in Indonesia. I just said that Arab Indonesians have influenced Indonesia on many fronts and that is undeniable. I think that you and everyone else can read my posts here. He was also the first one who started writing personal insults.
Arabs controlled the Indian Ocean/Arab Sea trade and we know from history that many Arabs settled n South East Asia and that they spread Islam and that many past and present dynasties/royal families are of Arab descent in Brunei, Indonesia and Malaysia so it's logically that it was mostly Arabs. This is clearly described in history. Chinese and Indians were obviously also involved but that's another type of migration/trade.
You are most welcome brother. ARAMCO is a very global firm and people from all over the world work for it.
Anyway we have unfortunately gone off-topic with that unfortunate nonsense discussion which is a great waste of time.
