Reread the last paragraph. The Mosque should have had security of their own to enforce their rules and then asked the police to intervene only if there was a scent outside of the Mosque. The police have no role in enforcing private membership rules and/or beliefs.

Regards

I do not know what odors outside of the mosque have to do with anything, but it appears you are saying we cannot call the police to remove trespassers unless we have private security?

“The police have no role in enforcing private membership rules and/or beliefs.”

Keep in mind, you are reading a news story, which could be
completely false to only part true. I doubt that you or anyone else knows all the facts.
That being said, let me draw an analogy.
If I own a private club, for members only, and some non members enter, I can ask them to leave, and if they refuse, I call the police.
The mosque is probably a private, not public, operation.
Who says that the mosque, does, or should have a private security force?

"The police have no role in enforcing private membership rules and/or beliefs."

Have you heard of the concept of "trespass on private property"? Because trespass is what happened here, not some membership controversy.

If you have an all-mens club, and a woman shows up uninvited or enters a restricted area, do you not expect the police to come and remove the intruder if called and asked by the property owner to do just that?

Or, if a member no longer in good standing shows up, do the police not have the authority to remove him if asked to do so? This is what you're asserting.

No, "The police have no role in enforcing private membership rules and/or beliefs.", but they do have a role in enforcing trespass complaints from private property owners.
