> Is Sharia law not a religious authority ruling folks who do not belong to that religion?
Absolutely not.
It specifically applies only to Muslims, while excluding others (known as dhimmi, which translates to something like "protected people"). Others have protected rights to live, have property, and freedom of religion, and in exchange they're expected to respect the authority of the State and are subjected to different taxes (jizya tax). Everything else depends on the implementation.
It's basically how you get a vibrant expat community in places like Dubai.

Absurdly wealthy inheritors looking to improve their public image on the backs of a slave labor underclass is how you get a "vibrant" expat community in places like Dubai.
