I didn't mean they were culturally similar except very broadly. I meant they would probably face an experiences similar to how largely animist Dayaks have been treated by their Muslim neighbors. Some Dayak are Muslim converts, some became Christian, some remain animist, most are a combination of the last with one of the first two.
I don't know of any Muslim attempts to exterminate Dayak animists, like some in this thread feared would happen to Atayal if Taiwan became Muslim colonized or had many Muslim missionaries. The opposite has happened in recent history, where Dayaks, fed up with the large number of outside colonists, attacked a number who had displaced them from their lands. I don't think religion played any major role in the attacks.
Firstable, I didn't say anything about they being culturally similar with the Dayaks, but how would they be good enough for a Dayak analogue ?
The next, the Dayaks only attempted to exterminate the Madurans. Actually, it was kinda Madurans VS everybody minus Javanese and Banjars (the last two being neutral, and Javanese will always want to be neutral whenever things like that happening whenever possible)
And whenever you're talking about "how the Dayaks had been treated by their muslim neighbors", especially since the last 100 years prior to the most recent ethnic strife in Kalimantan, the "muslim neighbors" were Madurans, in which when the Dayaks decided to take revenge against them, the other muslims gladly helped them. Even the Chinese did !
Also, no body did ever mention about anything about the muslims will going to massacre native Taiwanese until your mentioning about that exact issue, btw.
