Prayer in Lounge

Sitting in the "Borromini" Alitalia lounge at FCO in the desk area working on my laptop. A group of guys comes into the desk area, take of their shoes, face Mecca and start praying.

Now I'm all for freedom of religion, but I personally find the time and place to be offensive, especially since there are non-denominational chapels in just about every airport these days and FCO supposedly has prayer rooms. http://www.adr.it/web/aeroporti-di-r...oms-and-chapel

Even more so when it's in the desk area which is generally supposed to be for work purposes.

Should lounges be a "no praying" zone?
