Lawrence v. Texas has absolutely nothing to do with this unless Shariah law includes a healthy does of sodomy.
That being said, a statute that outlawed ritualistic pre-meal washing would be overturned in about 13.2 seconds. There are enough freedom of religion cases out there to provide sufficient precedent without having to make a stretch of a comparison to Lawrence.
