The Arabic term wasta is not common in Indonesia—the country with the largest Muslim population in the world (Muslims represent some 89 % of 250 million total population). But a related term wasatiyyah is very popular in the country referring to the kind of distinctive Indonesian Islam which is “a middle path Islam” or “justly balanced Islam,” not to say “moderate Islam.”
