It's disturbing, but not unprecedented. Take, for example, the Christian Scientists and Jehovah's Witnesses claiming they have the religious right to deny medical treatment to their minor children. It's also no more objectionable in a purely abstract sense than the Wingnuts in Kansas and elsewhere who want to take evolution out of the textbooks.
I find the notion abhorrent, but I freely admit that it's because I find Sharia to be abhorrent.
