There has been ongoing debate about this for a long time and so far there is still no firm answer. Women do go to the wall and pray, however they are often harrassed by people who believe that they shouldn't.

___________

There is a woman's section at the Wall and no one is harassed there.

Can they? Yes. Nobody will stop them or detain them for praying to a god other than the Jewish God through Jewish rites. However, it is in poor taste, especially if the non-Jew performs some sort of idol worship at the Western Wall. We are talking about a Jewish Holy Site here; how would anyone feel if his/her religious center was opened up to someone of a different religion. If you sincerely wish to pray to a different God at the Western Wall, please do so discreetly and certainly do not evangelize on the precinct.
