What is the percentage? Is there any conflict between the two sects in Indonesia specifically?

SUNNI
The conflict between the two is on the spiritual leader, SUNNIs are pro-mohammed and Shiites...some ayatollahs

Almost all Indonesian Muslims are Sunnis. If there are any Shiites, their percentage is very small, and they seem to keep a low profile. There isn't really a Sunni-Shiite conflict in Indonesia in any grand scale; maybe some name calling among individuals though, I wouldn't know. Most countries that are latecomers to Islam are Sunni becuase the Sunni were more populous and sent more missionaries when these countries were being reverted to Islam. The exception is East Africa, where there are many Ismaili Shiites.

They are nearly all Sunni. There is not much conflict between Shiites and Sunnis outside of Iraq. There are other types of Muslims as well, Sufis for instance.

100% Muslim.
Indonesian Muslims tend to carry their animistic culture and beliefs which goes into conflict with Islam sometimes.

no... because they really are not either... but one could consider them sunni. I think its just best to call them muslim.
shiites really are not found outside the middle east very often.
