No, the Muslims don't whine about it. The Americans whine about it.
Not one of the thousands of Muslims visitors entering through my port has ever whined. The only whiners we get are US Citizens.

When I'm visiting someone else's country, I don't know my rights, if any. As a visitor to their country, they don't have to let me in at all.
When I return, I know my rights AND my responsibilities - those agents derive their authority from ME, through my representatives.
If I and my fellow Citizens are not treated to the respect and simple courtesy we demand - you would definitely hear me "whining".

"Not one of the thousands of Muslims visitors entering through my port has ever whined.

Or it's a typo. You seem to make those a tad too regularly for them to be simple typos though.
Those are Muslims whining to American news outlets, which publish it. They also happen to be American citizens.

But how do you tell if they're really US citizens, take their word for it? Or do you check their fingerprints against records the government already has? For instance, I was bonded, got a California drivers license, got insurance licenses in 26 states, a securities license, and for all I was fingerprinted. So I should be able to prove my citizenship fairly easily, right? Maybe all social security card holders should get fingerprinted, to eliminate false use of this form of ID for employment purposes, to. What do you think?
