Are you suggesting this nod to sharia is camoflage, or perhaps something else?

I can't say what it is, only what I hope. I hope they lay down basic law protecting the rights of women and minorities so that (for lack of a better word, I apologize) assh*le Muslim fundamentalists will be restrained in their wild, human-rights violating interpretations as they use the Quran to build their Islamic laws on top of that human rights base.

At first blush, it seems to me you're hoping they can fit a square peg in a round hole. Are there any historical precedents you can think of? (excluding benign authoritarinists which wouldn't be relevant to the question)
