If I were a security guard (and I have been, with the shitty metal badge to prove it) I would certainly have questioned these guys. If I saw a group of any race / religion / etc stop what they were doing, and begin something completely different, it would catch my attention. If I realized they were PRAYING, nonetheless, I'd wonder why now was such an important time to do so. I personally didn't know they had to pray five times a day, but usually people randomly pray after they've done something stupid, or in preperation for doing something stupid. It would have taken me maybe 5 minutes to find out their true motives and move on. If they're upset by that, then they obviously don't understand how difficult it is to keep a crowd peaceable and how much you have to watch for "trouble brewing." (Doing something that the majority of other people AREN'T doing, that's trouble brewing)
just my two dimes..
