The recent attitude of Muslim nations after India changed the status of Kashmir ought to be an eye opener for Pakistanis who fall for the "brotherly nations" clique. The Gulf states awarded tons of medals to Modi. Indonesia jumped for joy at India's investments in its palm oil industry after Malaysia was cut off due to the Malaysian leader criticizing India. Most Muslim nations turned their heads the other way regarding the move as India's internal affair due to trade with India.
When western nations dropped stable and working governments in Muslim nations including Syria, the Muslim nations joined either Russia or the West in bombing those nations, not caring an iota for the millions of Muslim people of the invaded nation whose lives were destroyed overnight. China and India effectively imprisoned millions of Muslims overnight. Again Muslim nations, save for one or two, remained tight lipped. And yet some Pakistanis still hold hope to the Ummah rushing to their defense if India invades Pakistan. The fact remains that in the past the assistance given was token.
You cannot use Muslim nations lame reaction over Kashmir issue to make a comparison over Muslim nations possible reaction if Pakistan is under attack by India. This comparison cannot be used to explain the situation since India administered Kashmir have been recognized as legal Indian territory based on international community acceptance, there is why almost all Muslim countries cannot do what Pakistan wants. Similar like many Muslim countries that accept Xin Jiang as China territory despite inside many Muslim heart they dont accept that.
On the other hand, an attack on Pakistan legal territory with intention to be annexed is a very different story. That action will not be treated lightly by Muslim nations and economic embargo plus financial and military help will come IMO, not too mention many Muslim jihadist that will help Pakistan from all over Muslim countries.
India never invest in Indonesia palm oil industry and Indonesia never feel happy for such move (refined Palm oil ban). If you search palm oil related news, Indonesia and Malaysia are always hand in hand in palm oil issue as we are both the sole producer of Palm Oil in the world and faced huge challenge from sun flowers and soyabean producing country in Europe and US. If you read an Indonesian member here said that Indian move is cheered by Indonesian, it is just a personal consideration.
Logically, any restriction on palm oil product will hit both Indonesia and Malaysia as Indonesia also produce refined product that is banned by India. Since the banning comes, there will be tight competition on crude palm oil market in India since Malaysia will try to sell its crude to India that is currently dominated by Indonesia palm oil, so the price will eventually comes down if there is no counter action taken by Indonesia with its biofuel program inside the country.

Syrian problem is rather complex since it is internal Muslim conflict that include sects. The fact is some Muslim countries participate on the war by giving money, ammunition, and weapon to the rebel because they think it is genuine upraising and also want to see Sunni sect lead new Syria. Even Turkish military are also present in Syria. Many Muslims from other countries are also risking their live and participate on the war. On the other hand Shiah sect country like Iran and sects faction like Hisbullah help the government to crush the revolution. So actually Muslim countries and people do participate in the war but unfortunately in different sides.
