Billy's Bullet Points:

How did Indonesia become Muslim?

1: In the 13th Century, traders arrived, from Persia all the way to India, looking for new peoples to trade with. Bringing with them the newly growing Islamic faith.

2: with near-permanent residency there now, they slowly integrated Islamic practices with local customs, making the religion more accessible and adaptable to the diverse cultures of Indonesia.

3: With the arrival of the Dutch and Portuguese, the grip of this new religion solidified across the region. As Islam was seen as a symbol of solidarity and resistance.
