Religions have a right to set their own rules—on private property. Orthodox Jews, and even a few Christian groups (the Amish perhaps? some of the Eastern Orthodox?) traditionally separate men and women in worship—as Muslims always do.
If homosexuals came into your Church dressed in drag...attempting to disrupt your service, don’t you have the right to call the police and have them removed?
These women were doing the same kind of protest—as the main prayers in Mosques always separate men and women. When the women refused to follow the rules (even though you and I don’t like Islam’s rules here) they became trespassers, and the Mosque had a right to expect the police to remove them (just like police should remove any protestors from any religious or private property).
We should be concerned about the many Mosques on American soil which preach violence against the government—NOT the ones that simply rely on the same law we all expect to rely on.
What statutes can you cite that define this situation as trespassing? If a teen aged member of a protestant church went to the young adults Sunday School class and refused to leave, are the police required to respond?
Your example of gays dressed is drag disrupting a service is far beyond someone worshiping in an area designated for others. These women were probably regulars in that mosque. And the same concept you cite was once cited by business owners to refuse service on the basis of race rather than sex.
Are there actual statutes that specify situations like this in a place of worship as trespassing, or just your opinion that trespassing laws would apply?
And many here keep saying the mosque is private property. Who owns it? Specifically who has an ownership interest and who does not? I doubt anyone here knows that, or whether Muslims have formal membership requirements, and whether these members were members.
