Why does Islam in indonesia have a long story of being more tolerant than Islam in the Middle East

Because it is.

Explanation:

First off, I want to say that I don't mean to create any kind of controversy which is why I will not be biased toward the party I support nor will I say which party I support. Well, the Middle East is very harsh to start with. My brother showed me a video about how the executions on death row are severing your head in public in a Middle Eastern country (all the countries are like the same). What stood out to me is that they called a very popular public execution square the sound the head makes when it falls to the ground. In the interview part of the video, the guy interviewed a executioner who said, "It's interesting how heads can fall off so fast by just a knife." In Indonesia, they are fairly liberal as they are a multi-party republic (this also means there should be a party in there that is liberal). They are also around fairly liberal countries like Australia and Papa New Guinea. Liberal countries and states all tend to not have Death Row as they view it as inhumane. The only countries that at least almost 100% support executions are the countries around Asia and Africa, as well as the more well known countries in Asia like China and the Philipines. Well, there you have it.
