If they were not to be arrested in the mosque then they could stand there for the rest of their lives and not get arrested. Food could be brought in by other Muslims and they could live a happy little life in the building!Originally Posted by Wigferth Ironwall
What you are suggesting sounds like the "sanctuary" of the Middle Ages. There was a church in Britain in which it was illegal to arrest you. So once you had entered the church grounds all the sheriff could do is watch as you entered the building. Of course many people abused the system and many people would do the same if was illegal to arrest somebody in a Mosque. I suspect that even non-Muslims would run into a Mosque to dodge the police.
