Most church will allow someone to take aslyum from the state (regardless of which country they are in most times) as long is that person is not wanted for grevious crimes like murder or genocide etc... churches usually operate under the sep of church and state and most countries and as long as the church is willing to host these people the state will not move on them...
Thanks for the reply Americanwolf. I understand that churches do that but why don't the ones that seek asylum (muslim asylum seekers) hide in a mosque? Why is it always a church? As a Christian, I believe if I was in the position of an asylum seeker facing deportation, I would most likely hide in the church of my belief. That's the part I can't understand.
