A Syrian-American physician aims to become the first Muslim Republican elected to Congress. Despite seemingly in an age of identity politics, it's not one of Zuhdi Jasser's selling points.

While Jasser has appeared on Newsmax TV and other news media platforms espousing liberal democratic values and against political Islamism for more than 20 years, he wants to be seen as something else.
