You are ignoring that for a good part of the time he was in Indonesia he was raised Muslim and went to a mosque regularly. He learned the prayers. So for him to say NEVER is a lie. If he would have just admitted that for a while he was raised a Muslim nothing else would have been said. The problem is that he lied.

  "...went to a mosque regularly." It was a few times. I went with my mother to church on holidays. I even recited a couple of prayers. I can recall the Lord's Prayer. Obama never said he never went to a mosque. He has said he was never a Muslim. He has certainly affirmed many in his family were Muslim, but he was not 'raised a Muslim' any more than I was 'raised an Episcopalian'. Church was never anything more than a boring bunch of mumbo-jumbo. One has to AFFIRM one is a Muslim, which Obama never did.
  
  You WANT there to be a 'truth' for which there is no real evidence.
