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.
Obama communications director Robert Gibbs gives a different explanation:
Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, Gibbs said. As a six-year-old in Catholic school, he studied the catechism.
