For example, in an Islamic country, the law of the land would be Sharia Law - something that has religious basis to begin with and therefore for that country your statement would imply that it is the government's power and duty to prosecute all non-Islamic personnel because their very beliefs mean that they are disobeying the laws.

Yea I see the flaw in my statement now. Though it is not always wrong for a person to disobey a law but I would say it is always wrong for a government or member there of to enforce an unjust law. Unfortunately in this case it would mean the persons death.
