Woody Allen has spoken out in support of a proposed Islamic cultural centre being built close to Ground Zero.

Speaking at the premiere of You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger, the director told the Huffington Post that the controversial decision to build the centre should be left to those who live in the city of New York.

"I'm for the building of the mosque. I think that all the people weighing in on it except for the people that lost someone at Ground Zero... are exploitative, fake frauds using it for personal reasons and political reasons," he explained.

"If I could speak to people that lost relatives and loved ones, I would try and convince them, if I could, that to build the mosque goes a way towards seeing that this kind of thing doesn't happen again. And to intolerantly not build the mosque is just polarising and leads to the kind of problems that rake up this type of conflict."
