This is because they think that coexistence implies that we have to do away with Islamic Law, or they see it as a deceptive ploy to totally strip Islam of its principles or to introduce into Islamic beliefs and principles from other faiths and creeds.
Another reason why some Muslims are skeptical about the topic of “coexistence” is that they see it as something originating in the West, something concocted by the Western world and promoted by it as a means to submerge Islamic culture and values and make the Muslim world a copy of the West.
The negative understanding of coexistence – which implies compromising on our essential religious beliefs, adopting some of our own and some of other faiths, though they might be contradictory – this is clearly wrong.
Allah says: “So then do you believe in a part of the scripture and deny the rest?” [Sûrah al-Baqarah: 85]
Islamic rule is inevitable, there will be the followers of Islam and then the others. (the second class) We will still need some of them to do tacks that are undesirable.
