(3) Indonesia is not located in the Middle East, and not populated by Arabic-Muslims.

(4) Indonesia was a strict dictatorship till the late 1990s, and is still struggling with internal strife. It is a unitary presidential republic.

In typical form, you're now walking back your erroneous assertion by implying you made points such as (3) in your original claim. You didn't.

"As the world's largest Muslim-majority nation, Indonesia proves that democracy and Islam need not be incompatible."

"In the five years since the fall of President Suharto, Indonesia has had
three presidents—B.J. Habibie, Abdurrahman Wahid, and Megawati
Sukarnoputri—all of whom took power by democratic means. Most people
have enjoyed freedom of expression and opinion, freedom of information,
checks and balances between the executive and legislative branches of
government, and a depoliticized military."
