Can anyone explain to me why is it forbidden to take photo inside the Putrajaya Mosque?

I'm a foreigner; living in Malaysia. A few weeks ago, I took my friends to show Putrajaya and the mosque as well, while we are inside the mosque (it was 11am, non praying time and nobody was praying at the time) a security guy came and with a very impolitely behavior asked us whether we are praying or not and he added if we are not we have to get out !!!

For your information I'm a Muslim too.

Actually, a while back, u can take picture inside d mosque. Before, they had a carpet wit barrier, so for non muslim, dey can take pic from the confine spaces.. But last week i went, it's no longer there, i have no idea y as well

Yes I do remember the red carpet with barrier; they were allowing non Muslims to see inside the mosque on non praying hours.

But the sad thing is the securities there; they acting like it's their own house, very impolite, if I were a non Muslim probably it would be my last mosque visit in my life...
