That, in and of itself is the problem.
Government has no authority to discriminate by 'protecting' groups of people.
One reason Government should never “protect” groups of people is because of what happens to those people once that “protection” is lifted. History can demonstrate this many many times.
moreover, why is that no one has called out these two muslim congressmen for writing a letter labeling “Muslims a protected group”. They’re putting their own religion above the constitution...in the name of Sharia
Absolutely. The very root of "activist" government is "special rules for special people", another means of redistribution involving rights instead of property.
The reason for the hypocrisy is simple: the Left considers Muslims an oppressed class and Christians as their oppressors, and more importantly, themselves transcending the whole thing and dispensing justice by reversing the oppression. Do that in a stable society and you have the sort of mini-fascism that typifies the Left at the moment. Do it in an unstable society and you have violence and revolution, which is equally fine to ideologues for whom violence and revolution are good things.
Because of this, they won't stop. A truly neutral government (including the media who are their line of communication to the citizen) will cause a brake on this activity by insisting that the social contract apply equally to all. We do not have, and have not had for some time, a remotely neutral government or media.
