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

WTF? What are "Muslim rights"? Ugh! This is why liberals sicken me. There are HUMAN rights. Then there are non-rights. What exactly would a "Muslim right" be? In the US we already have freedom of religion. Is there something specific outside of that that should be applied to Muslims? Catholics? Agnostics? Atheists?
Maybe it's not your intended point, but it pisses me off to no end that so many people feel everyone needs special rights for their religion, race, gender, educational level, ailment, disability, et cetera. That's a huge part of what proliferates racism and other "-isms" in western culture today. You can't demand to be the same and then ask to be different all at once. It's bullshit.
Again, what would a "muslim" right be? The right to worship Allah (God) and believe in the Prophet Muhammed? They already have that right. The right to strangle your daughter to death for not wearing a specific piece of religious garb? They'll NEVER have that right. I don't understand...
