asean countries were historically dumb enough, weak enough to plowed by all and sundry
heck lousiest of lousy varieties known as ah nehs influenced all ASEAN member states except viets, who were conquered and annexed, ruled, influenced by tiongs
and to think same CECA virus were conquered, subjugated, ruled by their Muslim masters for 1000 years as saffron terrorist in chief gladly admitted
speaks volumes about lousy ASEAN, none of them can escape middle income trap incl stinkypura and brunei. tiny countries only survive thanks to the mercy of bigger countries. truth. hard truths.
look at ukraine if you doubt.
burmese defeated thais numerous times.
thais conquered melayun, this is why southern thai contains melayun and melayu territory with independence seekers. they are originally melayun ppl conquered by thais
and these burmese have been historically conquered by all stronger races
i think bangla with arab afghan persian turkic addition also conquered arakan and ruled over it for many centuries. so did brits.
it may have been called bengal sultanate.
as Ibn Battuta explained in his Rihla, Bengal was a separate country from CECa virus and both CECA virus and Bengal were ruled by Muslims at that time. difference may have been that ceca virus were majority polytheist, and the country of Bengal at that time were beginning to turn to the correct path. maybe Bengal got slight majority of Muslims at that time? who knows.
so yeah in that sense Bangla is certainly more Islamic than both melayun and Indon with much longer cherished history of Islamic knowledge practice heritage free of kufr unlike melayun or indon (loser races who can't fight and were conquered by thais and tiny dutch from 10000 km away?)
