With proper permits and permission, I don't see why not. Since people obviously feel the need for these religious structures, it would be refreshing to see more diversity than these boring, cookie-cutter churches offer...

I would say at any point since the ratification of the constitution that a mosque would have been allowed. In the very early colonial days when the puritans and the like were running the place, I doubt it.
Wait, what?
