A Mosque in the Pentagon, Now?
No just kidding. There already is one. With no issues.

There is no mosque in the pentagon. There is a non denomination chapel in the pentagon where people of all denominations come to worship through out the day.
Nice try though. Seriously it took about two seconds to disprove this. A google search and the very first link.

The truth is that there is no "mosque" in the Pentagon, according to Army spokesman George Wright. There is a chapel inside the Pentagon where Muslim employees can go to pray, as ABC News recently reported. It’s just not exclusive to followers of Islam.
The Pentagon’s non-denominational chapel was built and dedicated in 2002 in honor of Pentagon employees and passengers of American Airlines Flight 77 who died in the terrorist attack on the building on Sept. 11, 2001. The chapel was constructed at the site where the hijacked plane crashed into the Pentagon nearly nine years ago.
Wright told us that the chapel, which can seat about 100 people, hosts services throughout the week for Pentagon employees of various faiths including Catholics, Protestants, Jews, Episcopalians, Hindus and Muslims. Wright said that the chapel’s schedule for the week of August 16 actually includes daily mass for Catholics; Bible study sessions for Protestants, Jews and members of the Church of Latter Day Saints; as well as a prayer service for Muslims.
The chapel is run by the Office of the Pentagon Chaplain, and prior to its construction, all religious services were reportedly held in either conference rooms, auditoriums or informal prayer rooms inside the Pentagon.

Muslims PRAYING! Sounds like a MOSQUE to me! I hope someone sells bacon right across the hall from it!
They're probably just training as terrorists and praying to thank Allah for 9/11. Take it to the deserts, Muslims.

People are free to pray anywhere they want to in this country (except teachers in public schools).

Muslims can pray....I would think that if they were in the Pentagon, they'd be AMERICAN Muslims...no issue here...and if I can go in there as a Christian and pray, and if a Jew can go in there to pray, well then, it's not a mosque....it's a 'house of prayer' and truly non-denominational.

I can't help but laugh. After reading this, I called my cousin who works in the Pentagon to see if this is true. Actually, I have not talked to him in a while, so I used this opportunity to talk to him. He said there is no churchs in the Pentagon, yet places of worship and prayer. Which are nondenominational and not affiliated with any religion.
Like Rev stated, my work place must be a church too, because I pray here, as well as in my car, my home, and pretty much most places i visit.
