from what i understand from the question, i think 4 those who are afraid, they fear muslims becoming strong and establishing themselves, and becoming a threat to secular beliefs and laws.
al give an example,a country in africa, kenya,wanted to change its constitutition. well, it was amended but they refused to include the Qadhis court, which was there b4 the amendment.
Many non-muslims were against it, the main reason being, muslims were being favoured,n that kenya was a secular state, n giving them such a position, will make them strong,
they were scared that the sharia might also apply to them..(they found them too strict and oppressive) after talkin it out ,some groups conceeded after learning that it woul only govern muslims, one group is the Hindu, and catholics(not very sure abt the cathlics) but the rest were adamant.
The muslims did not refuse for other religions to have their own courts, but they still refused, and the Qadhis court was not added in the new constitution.
But in a referendum, the new constititution was voted out.
their fear was muslims gaining strength..
. But that reminds me:
