This really is nothing to get your undies in a twist about. Arbitration is a valid way of handling disagreements.
No conspiracy. In the case of the original poster a voluntary arbitration tribunal has been formed to arbitrate according to religious teachings. This is hardly a unique organization.
Here is a christian arbitration group

This organization advises people on how to put religious conditions on contracts. Don't hear anyone screaming about this one though.
P'SHARA Jewish Dispute Resolution, Inc. is a jewish arbitration organization. Anyone complaining about that one? Did not think so.
But at the mention of Islam, people get suddenly so concerned. I wonder why?
