I think it's within just about any governments power and duty to prosecute any organization and their members for disobeying laws, religious or not. Some governments require more societal help and other governments leave the enforcing to the societies themselves. When just laws are disobeyed by entire societies because of religious belief then the only ones who can and should stand up are the victims of those crimes and those who sympathize.
