Mosques used as bases

Reader comment on item: Red Mosque in Rebellion

When you have armaments being stored at mosques, whatever protection they had accorded to them as edifices where the faithful gather - that protection is gone with the wind.

Any place that stores weaponry is a legitimate target to be razed to the ground.

So, why should mosques be exempt from this? After all, it isn't as if Mosques have a sterling reputation to defend when it comes to the building of societies.
