don't have much use for some of shari'a's consequences. Just look at many feminist takes on what suddenly become "cultural traditions" but which believers bill as beliefs: body/face coverings, for instance.

Hardly "the same people who want to enforce Old Testament rules on everyone." Granted, they have a set of rules they want enforced, but they're hardly OT.
