“I don’t see myself as someone standing up for Muslims in Congress.  I see myself as someone standing up for justice in Congress, because the Muslims are not always right and people who are not Muslims are not always wrong.  I’m going to stand up for the truth, what’s right, and I’m going to do my best.  And where I fail, I’m sure you’ll point that out, and I’ll try to do better.” — USC Center for Islamic Thought, Culture and Practice.
