EvC Forum: Bush's Shia Islamic War Vs Obama's Sunni War

Later he enrolled Barak in two Indonesian schools as a Muslim, first a Catholic school and then a Muslim school.

That claim requires evidence. I suspect that if we investigate it we'll find another Buzsaw fabrication. The EVIDENCE that we have is that Barack Obama senior was an atheist at the time, regarding Islam as a superstition and had little to do with his son's upbringing, which was in the control of his maternal family - and even you haven't suggested that THEY were Muslims.

Found via the wikipedia article - Obama Debunks Claim About Islamic School

quote:
A spokesman for Indonesia's Ministry of Religious Affairs said claims that Obama studied at an Islamic school are groundless.

"SDN Menteng 1 is a public primary school that is open to people of all faiths," said the spokesman, Sutopo, who goes by only one name. "Moreover, he studied earlier at Fransiskus Assisi, which is clearly a Catholic school."

The public school was predominantly attended by Muslims, but that would be like saying US schools are predominantly attended by Christians.

So, first a Catholic school, then a non-denominational school. I guess that makes him a watered down Catholic

Had the second school been a Muslim school, then I guess he would have been a Catholic Muslim

Heck, I graduated with a geology degree, but that doesn't mean I'm a geologist (although I do occasionally play one at certain internet locations).
