I have learned from Muslims and confirmed in literature that this tagging scheme is wrong: what I
considered as the mosque itself is merely the main prayer hall. The mosque is actually the whole
complex that I used to tag as landuse=religious.
So, if the actual praying happens in the building, this is the place where the
worshiping happens,
hence the place of worship, hence amenity=place_of_worship
Thus I see no need for different tagging.
The wikipedia article has some insight in the process, however it also mentions that a mosque can be
a building. So, if the mosque is a building, tagging building=mosque would be fine.
Even for the situation that the worshiping happens without a building, the general campus can be
tagged landuse=religious, the more specific location of the worshiping amenity=place_of_worship, but
without a building tag.
