Wreck;
Your article doesn't beat anything, it simply makes excuses for Barry.
If you actually read the article from THE AUSTRALIAN, you will see that little Barry's Muslim leanings were his choice. The article didn't accuse the school of orcing anything. Indonesia allows onl six basic religions and places many strictures upon them. Children are allowed to participate in one of the six.
The writer after interviewing his former teachers, discovered that the Christians attended the Christian educational activities, while fat little Barry chose to sneak off to the Muslim studies...against his mother's wishes. When she found out, she complained to the school, but to little avail.
We cannot extrapolate from this article what B. Hussein Obama believes at this time, but we can ascertain where his heart was during his most formative years.
Then when we hear the messages delivered by Rev, Wright his chosen spiritual leader of the last 20 years a fairly complete spiritual picture begins to emerge.
