Obama Would Go Behind His Mom's Back to Attend Koran Classes

Show of hands.  How many of you went behind your mom's back to go to Sunday school?

As a schoolboy in Jakarta, Barack Obama attended Muslim prayer sessions with his classmates against the wishes of his mother.

The US President's former grade three teacher said that Mr Obama - who was known as "Barry" when he attended the Menteng One school in Jakarta - studied the Koran and went to classes on Islam, despite the objections of Ann Dunham, a Catholic.
