I have a Christian Indonesian who attends a Christian school in my home right now and he doesn't look punished.

In Connecticut? Great.

Not so for many other. Indonesia is on the list of countries that persecute Christians.

Here is another link for you:

Christians in Indonesia: Allowing persecution to happen

Excerpt:Christians who refused to convert to Islam were killed; those who did convert were then separated from their families, given Muslim names, and forcibly circumcised — without anaesthetic, and with dirty instruments. Scissors were used on the adults. They were then told to wash in the sea to disinfect their wounds.

In case that does not convince you, here is another link regarding the persecution of Christians in Indonesia:

Christians Continue to Face Challenges in Indonesia

OK, so we have established that Indonesia is not a "Christian friendly" place. Why is this? Hmmmmmmmm.

I'll go out on a limb here......perhaps because of Muslims?

Now, to get back to point, Obama tried to obfuscate his Muslim roots, his Muslim father, his Muslim step father, and his Muslim education (in Indonesia).

Now, why would he do that?

Given your past few posts to me, I anticipate you will come back with some wave of the hand dismissing Christian persecution in Indonesia, the fact the Obama was raised a Muslim, and that the sky is blue.

It exists but it isn't all encompasing.

the fact the Obama was raised a Muslim, and that the sky is blue.

He spent 5-6 years there as a kid. I think you ave some racial bias here to be frank.
