Other than maybe asking him to keep it down a little, I wouldn't have seen a reason to.

If he was being really loud, then yes. It's rude to pray too loudly, unless the poor man happens to be deaf, and thinks he is only whispering inaudibly (I know some sweet old ladies at church who do this when saying the rosary).
Understand however, that the problem is not with praying in itself, it's in disturbing others peace and concentration.
For example, the loudness would distract anyone else who also happened to be praying at that moment.
Of course, some people are actually crazy, so take stock of other factors in his appearance and behavior before approaching.

I am a Christian, strongly believing in prayer. Nevertheless, if it's something you don't want in your face, you should not have to have it. It's not even a religious matter - it's a matter of etiquette.
However, true etiquette (Miss Manners would agree) also means not jumping to conclusions about the motives of others. Many people are quick to point out etiquette violations in others without realizing that in doing so, they are also at fault. A simple "Excuse me, your praying is disturbing me, could you do it a bit more quietly?" would be sufficient and most likely effective.

No .... when people are busy doing spmething anti-social, just move away ..... if you had said anything, most likely you would have run into hostility from him, and it is best to keep your distance rather than go through something unpleasant ... memories should be happy ones. Don't tempt fate. It is not worth it. Any correction in his behaviour will come to him, and he will make the adjustment by himself. Not to worry. As one person here said, move to another seat. Unobtrusively. Don't flounce off, that would be as bad as saying something!!! Be careful in this world. He might have been on something. You never know.
Just play it safe.
Peace & Love

Really although it may seem annoying to someone, he was really just exercising his right to practice religion how he wishes. Unless he was in some way infringing on someone elses inalien rights, he was fine to pray where ever he wants.

It is his/her right to do so. Unless this was causing some sort of direct damage to you while praying, this should not bother you.
If the style of praying was obnoxious, well then you should have switch seats. It is your right to do so.

I would have just let him pray. Telling him to stop would have been pretty rude. He's not doing anything bad... If it bothered me I would have moved.

No, that would be rude.
Maybe he was rude, but that is no excuse for you to be rude.
If he is Muslim, he has to pray at a certain time of day.
Should he be allowed to 'do his thing' in public?
