The muslim world has been reasonably well aware of contributions from SE Asia, since their scholars routinely went to Mecca to further their studies. Islam came to SE Asia too late for any of their scholars to be canonical within their madhdhabs the way non-Arab scholars from lands closer in are, but to write the whole region off as second class practitioners is unjustified.

It remains a genuine anathema for many Muslims. What a pity that they live in a region whose Muslim population, though it far outstrips that of the Middle East, always suffers from the indignity of being written off as a footnote in Muslim history." Perhaps because Islam will always be an Arab religion and practitioners from other regions will always be 2nd class adherents. “This is why in Southeast Asia, the word Wahhabi is not couched in any form of irony.
