Was Obama raised as a Muslim in Indonesia?
No, there is no evidence of this. There is solid evidence that he has participated in the Christian faith since the early 1990s. According to Barack Obama's interviews and writings, he is a Christian and chose that religion himself; he was not "born into" any specific religion. He has said his mother was spiritual but not religious. His father left before he was old enough to practice religion, but, although his father was raised a Muslim, he was non-religious by that time-- in fact, he had become an atheist. His stepfather was from Indonesia, but has been described as very moderate in his views. When the president lived in Indonesia, he first attended a Catholic private school, and later a public school where Muslims, Christians, and Hindus (as well as some American children) also attended. The president has stated his step-father did not ask him to participate in any religion.
When the president moved back to Hawaii to complete middle school and high school, he lived with his maternal grandparents, who were Protestant Christians. But President Obama got more interested in religion when he moved to Chicago and fell in love with Michelle Robinson (later his wife). He wanted to have a religion in which to raise his children, and decided upon Christianity. It should also be noted that numerous internet myths say he was sworn in as president by using the (Qur'an) Koran. This is false, and video of the ceremony exists, showing he used a Bible. Further, the myth that his father raised him Muslim is false-- his father was no longer a Muslim by the time Mr. Obama was born, and did not participate in raising him.
Why Malaysia and Indonesia dispute over Ambalat?
This case is by no mean similar 2002's Sipadan-Ligitan Island where 16 out 17 judges from International Court of Justice (ICJ) awarded Sipadan-Ligitan from Indonesia to Malaysia on a basis of 'effective occupation' (see paragraph 6).
In theory, Malaysia 'owns' Ambalat (which is subject to a territorial dispute between Indonesia) with the publication of a map by Malaysia in 1979. The map shows that the area within its Malaysia territorial waters and continental shelf but Indonesia has profusely objected to the map. However, the map used to claim Ambalat by Malaysia has not yet deposited to the UN Secretary General.
Ambalat is the sea block of the Celebes Sea beween Indonesian province of East Kalimantan and south-east of the Malaysian state of Sabah. This whole region is formerly known as Borneo. Located at the heart of the Indo-Pacific basin Ambalat is located in the same maritime zone (overlapping claim) near the centre of one of the richest marine habitats in the world called Sipadan. More than 3,000 species of fish and hundreds of coral species have been classified in this ecosystem.
The absence of territorial sea boundary between Indonesia and Malaysia, consequently, leaves an uncertainty regarding the sovereignty over the territorial sea (water column). Meaning Indonesia still can claim Ambalat due to the fact Malaysia has agreed a seabed boundary but have not yet agreed a boundary for the water column. Since the independence era, Malaysia has been the successor of Britain and Indonesia has been continuing the Netherlands' regime.
In defining their boundary, especially land boundary, both countries have to refer to the 1891 Convention agreed by The Great Britain and the Netherlands. Indonesia has yet finished none of the ten potential maritime boundaries with neighboring states/ the neighboring states are Australia, Malaysia, Philippine, Singapore, Palau, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Papua New Guinea, and East Timor. Gosong Niger is part of the seabed that is divided by the boundary line where two third of the seabed fall within the Indonesian side. With regard to this, the ownership of the sandbar is considerably clear. As there is a precise line, it should have been clear who own which seabed. However, Indonesia has never officially announced the exact locations of its maritime territorial limits. Consequently, the Malaysian navy had chased Indonesian fishermen out of Ambalat while Indonesia further accused Malaysia of 35 violations of disputed territory.
Malaysia has been actively established a permanent tourism service around the area and provide facilities for diving, swimming, and other aqua-tourism . Ambalat, the 15235-sq-km is also rich in oil and gas reserves which could be exploited for 30 years. In that case, the 'effective occupation' above (Effectivités) is a relevant consideration to decide the sovereignty over it. Sipadan- Ligitan a new Malaysia's territory and new Archipelagic (containing a large number of scattered islands) baseline and this could theoretically put Indonesia in a worse position to claim Ambalat. Moreover, it is worth noting that the ICJ's decision to grant Sipadan and Ligitan to Malaysia may change the configuration of Malaysia's baselines.
Malaysia will not refer the dispute with Indonesia over Ambalat to the International Court of Justice in the Hague, Defence Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said in early June 2009. Instead, he said the matter should be resolved through the existing brotherly diplomatic channels between Indonesia. Since such case is very sensitive, with regards to Ambalat case, people from both countries have to really understand the problem in terms of georgraphy, history and law.
When did the Buddhism religion first come to Indonesia?
Initially, in the late 1200s and 1300s, Islamic merchants from Arabia and East Africa had interactions with Indonesian merchants, especially in the Banda Aceh region of northern Sumatra. These contacts resulted in willful and free religious conversions by many Acehnese to Islam. In the following centuries, when Islam was the dominant religion among the Acehnese, the Acehnese Sultante conquered numerous islands in the Indonesian archipelago resulting in discriminatory legal practices against non-Muslims in their empire. This led to large conversions of Indonesians from Syncretic Forms of Buddhism to Syncretic Forms of Islam to avoid these discriminatory treatments.
