First, they go against shariah because blah. And it's not a bad thing, at least that's a start.
And then I ask; how do you dissociate shariah, centuries (plural) of islamic jurisprudence, from islam. Answer; you can't. It's part and parcel of islam. Furthermore, and that's when it gets tricky; how do you dissociate islam from muslims? Answer; you can't, unless they give up on all or parts of their faith, which de facto turns them into... Non muslims, or lesser muslims, or outright "bad" muslims. If not full blown pagans bordering on apostates, literal infidels, according to islamic standards
Now a good muslim according to islamic standards is one that strictly adheres to the religion. And a good muslim according to secular standards is one who's "moderate", one that selectively adheres to the religion, avoiding the problematic parts, in a nutshell.
Not to mention that islam itself can hardly be reformed / updated / modified. You don't update perfection, you don't reform perfection, you don't modify perfection. The koran is deemed perfect by its followers, and regarding shariah, if the plan is to go against a millennia of islamic jurisprudence I say good luck with that
...
Good luck with that
