And no, I am not being snide or mean-spirited. I am being serious. I like to think that Muhammad would have advised Muslims to be wise and complete their prayers at an appropriate time when possible if hindered rather than causing a disturbance by trying to force them when not possible. That is just my opinion, the books I am reading for my class on Islam present Muhammad as a very devout man but also a flexible man who tried to avoid conflict.
But wine was the great assassin of both tradition and propriety...

His being Jewish has nothing to do with it. Use some common sense - pray silently.
