Nor do I; however, I think the way to prevent it is to remove all faith-based arbitration bodies from the legal system. As long as other groups have the right to seek arbitration from the elders/authorities of their religious bodies then to disallow Sharia is to take a moral stance against Islam in law: that seems inappropriate to me.

Remove all faith-based arbitration (in terms of their legal standing) and the problem is gone. Fairly.
