@Little_Tippler: The difference is these countries have their religion governing parts of their laws. I.e. the cops aren't objecting to it on religious but rather legal reasons. Whether these legal reasons are derived from religious ones is immaterial in regard to the fact that the law is still being broken, and you should follow another country's laws while you are a tourist there.
I completely agree that it is ridiculous, though, and that if they want to open up into a true tourist attraction they will need to drop some of their laws similar to this one. Let the mosques punish their own worshippers for religious infractions, and take your religious laws out of the legal books.
