My point (subtle though it was) is that is the reply to your argument. In other words, a great response to those Muslims who don't want to live under Sharia law is that they therefore aren't Muslims.

Grasping subtlety was never one of my skills. Your point is correct (edit: the adverse reaction to a different interpretation of law is there, to be more specific). I suppose (more) liberal advocates of the arbitration law might argue that baby steps might encourage a more refined interpretation of religion (under the religious/sharia court). I have my doubts about this where sharia is concerned, given these "leaders" do try to impose/impress their interpretations quite heavily.
