No, that is a myth. Young Barack Obama moved from Hawaii, where he was born, to Indonesia with his mom and his new step-father; he was about five years old at that time. He attended a Catholic school, and then a public school. Indonesia is a majority Muslim country, but even then, it was a moderate country and not all the schools were run by the Muslim religion. It should also be noted that internet claims that Mr. Obama attended a "madrassa" (conservative Muslim religious school) are false. The schools he attended had students from many religions and cultures; also, the language in those schools would have been Indonesian and English, not Arabic.
