Is he outspoken about Muslim rights? Is he anything other than a member of congress who happens to be Muslim?

You're losing your "hardcore liberal" cred. He was sworn into office using thomas jefferson's koran. He's outspoken about human rights, he hasn't made much of a big deal being a muslim, i suppose because the fact that he's a muslim has nothing to do with him being a congressman.
Though there was some outcry from some of the more ignorant folk wondering if the fact that he was muslim meant that the had some sort of allegiance to al qaeda.
