That I think is the essence of this. I know his past religious beliefs/teachings has been raised as a issue. Sounds like he is distancing himself from that past or view that he is/was a Muslim. Interesting in that the D's tend to take a secular position.

Being tainted by the "Democratic" label is another concern.
