I did not suggest that Sharia is legal. Did you read my post? I pointed out the fact that in most majority-Muslim nations, there is no distinction made between the embrace of Sharia and Islam. You cannot have one without the other. Muslims outside those countries must necessarily practice their faith in a manner that is considered apostate by large groups of other Muslims. And many of those more zealous believers feel apostasy is worthy of death.
Private arbitration has been part of US law for decades. It has often been used by members of various faiths to mediate disputes among members. Christians, Jews, and Muslims all have a history of participation.
The arbitration cannot violate US law, but this is the exact avenue that has been used in Europe to introduce elements of Sharia into daily interactions. It's being used in the US as well.

You seem very inconsistent on this concept. Islam, which has an actual history of violent theocratic evangelism presents no real threat, but you seem to lay awake at night trembling at the thought of "Cristofascists" that you're convinced are poised to implement their version of a theocracy and strip you of your rights replacing their laws for our secular laws?

It's really just a numbers game. Take a look at the list of Muslim-majority nations and ask yourself if you'd really like to live in any of them. It may not happen in our lifetimes, but wherever Islam becomes the majority religion or even a vocal minority, there is a significant loss of human rights and freedom. And among those most threatened are fellow Muslims who refuse to go along with the zealots.
