While living in Indonesia, Obama attended the Assisi Primary School, a Catholic school, and Besuki Primary School, a government school. He was enrolled as Barry Soetoro, Muslim, in both.
All Indonesian students were required to study religion at government schools and a young Barry Soetoro, being registered as a Muslim, would have been required to study Islam daily in school.
He would have been taught to read and write Arabic, to recite his prayers properly, to read and recite from the Quran and to study the laws of Islam.
In his autobiography, "Dreams From My Father,"
Obama, himself, mentions studying the Quran and describes the public school as "a Muslim school."
According to Tine Hahiyary, one of Obama's teachers and the principal from 1971 throuh 1989, Barry actively took part in the Islamic religious lessons during his time at the school. His teacher was named Maimunah and she lived in the Puncak area, the Cianjur Regency.
"I remembered that he had studied "menjaji" (recitation of the Quran)" she said.
Classmate Rony Amiris describes young Barry as being a very devout Muslim. Amir said, "Barry was previously quite religious in Islam.

The Obama FileNo evidence at all. He went to a Muslim school but it doesn’t mean he became a Muslim, especially in a Catholic school. He was a major dope smoker in Hawaii as a teen. That would be the time he would convert.
Oh, I get it. He was a practicing student of islam, but not a true member. It’s sorta like “but I didn’t inhale”...;’}
