I'm a Muslim and i take my christian friend with me to the mosque, he doesn't come in to pray though he just waits for me to finish praying
we welcome all faiths in to the mosque as long as the mosque, the religion and the Muslims in it are respected

in Egypt ,they allow foreigners to enter the mosques for example i meet American women in AL Hussein mosque and also in Muhammad Ali mosques
i am not sure about Islamic opinion on that but i did found some foreigners in mosques but not Egyptian Christians
they let the foreigners enter some mosques that are known as historical places but if u wanna know Islam u don't need to go to mosques ,u can read the quran ,ask Muslims ,log onto some Islamic sites
another thing when they enter the mosques ,they should took off their shoes and wear scarf and of course they cant pray in mosques ( the non Muslims )
the two places that i am so sure it forbidden for non Muslims to enter are mecca and Medina
i hope that can answer Ur question
peace

I am not sure , dont mind but i think they have a lot of double standards like you cannot go to mecca(saudi arabia) if you are a non muslim because it makes the place unpure as you are an infidel or a non beleiver there are some other mosques where you are not allowed to enter in iran, iraq even a pakistani mosque in london. but at some mosques you are allowed to go to like the ones of tourism places or the ones in the western countries.

As far as I know yes but only if you know what to do...You have to know how to clean yourself properly beofre entering and praying and Muslim women mostly pray at home anyway. In the Mosques they have a different room to pray in so that men and women don't distract each other while praying

I can't say whether they would or not, but the question is, why would you want to. A public setting is not the place for personal prayer. Christ said that the person who prays at home, alone, is the one blessed by God, not the person who prayed at the eastern wall for all to see. If you want God's blessing for your dedication, than find a quiet place at home.

Yes you can... Mosques are opened for everybody.
I can tell you before i converted to Islam, being a christian i went to one small village in Turkey. I was in mini skirt and open shirt... I saw a mosque and was curious to go to see inside... The Imam who was there did not kicked me out, in opposite to let me come inside and gave me arabic version of Quran ( my first Quran book)

Yes you can go to mousqes and many mousqes in the west have open days for non muslims to learn about Islam do not hear lies
prophet muhammed used to meet non muslims in mousqe in Madnia

yes you can .you will need to cover your head,cover your breasts and legs.you will probably pray in a separate room as praying requires you to prostrate yourself by kneeling on the floor. this would be distracting to men so that's why women and men usually pray in separate rooms. you know how men get distracted by butts.that's usually it. if you are interested ask any Muslim woman for help and you will be shown.
