Would all the other respondents declaring non-issue have the same response if instead of someone praying it was someone using the same space to post up, lie down, and take a nap on the floor?
Your first sentence answered the question asked.
The rest of your post seems unnecessary, and faintly xenophobic.
I'd have no objection on religious grounds if someone wanted to wash their feet (even though I think it's a bit tacky, as far as manners go). My concern would be more the potential for an accident - someone might slip on the wet floor. For that reason alone, I would probably suggest that the perpetrator might care to dry the floor.
As for sleeping on the floor - seen that in many airports. It's not an issue for me.
