Yes, of course.
My Muslim friend is also a big fan of his, says he finally knows of a Christian leader he really loves and respects, not another hypocritical Christian leader.
I would advise your Muslim friend to study good leaders. Perhaps an abolitionist like John Wesley. Alternatively, maybe he is one of many people who complains of that which he knows nothing about. If I said, "I know no Muslim leader I really love and respect," many would point out that maybe I should search for many or stop complaining.
