She shouldn't of had her feet on the seat.
The man was upset that a lady had her shoes on the seat, but that soon escalated as other people on the carriage get involved.
"I pray with my shoes on, I am a Christian".

No she shouldn't have but he overreacted. Prison for putting your feet on a seat!?
i didn't watch the video as i get very uncomfortable seeing people argue but you are right, that is a overreaction
This man, however, has absolutely no right to bring his religion into the argument as his religion has absolutely nothing to do with anybody else.
The fact that he wanted to pray there has nothing to do with anybody else on the train. If he politely informed her that her actions had inconvenienced him, for her information, then that is one thing. She can then choose to take that on board or ignore it as she is free to.
But to have a go at her for doing something that she is perfectly within her rights to do in a public place, because it interfered with his religious practice, is completely unacceptable.
Religious people need to accept that their religion is their religion. Nobody is obliged to accommodate their beliefs.
I agree with you mostly but putting your feet on the seats on public transport is illegal and carries an on the spot fine of £50 and will go on your record as a criminal offence.
But I do agree anyone forcing their religion on to another person or assuming their religion comes first above all needs to get a grip.
They were both being utter morons to be honest.
I'd rather give my house to a "lowly" prostitute who did nothing for me than some religious.......person, especially the barbaric... "types".
Call me racist, xeno, bigot all you want. In the end you are the one failing modern humanity in of all your reclusive ways of so-called educated understandability of society.
Video is inconclusive, we don't know what went on before. I can only assume that he sat opposite her, she placed her shoes on the chair as well as his Islamic clothes..... Assumption was based on him saying he prays in those clothes
The girl is an idiot though, if I had my feet up on a seat and someone pulled me up on it I would apologise, she had no intention to. The guy over reacted, guy in his glasses tried his best to diffuse the situation.
Well said about the illegal aspect of putting your feet on the seats. You'd think more people would know, given the number of posters warning about it, dotted about the place. It's not just a nuisance, it is a crime.
Calling the police though... obvious bluff is obvious.
Lol
I'm sure he typed in more than 3 numbers into his phone
Is that right? I didn't know that. Can you link to some information about that, because I can't find any info about it on the TfL or British Transport Police websites?
I would agree with you if he hadn't brought his religion into it. His religion has got f**k all to do with anybody else.
People should not put their feet on the seats, likewise the old guy was way too precious about it.
So what? He likes to pray and he says he will get his clothes dirty. He can bring up praying if he wants, it may be irrelevant but so what.
What I would not do however, is to start ranting and raving and bringing religion into it. He should realise that the rules of Islam pertain ONLY to Muslims and nobody else.
But he should of politely asked the lady to remove her feet if he felt it bothered him so much. If she refused his polite request he should then of found the trains conductor and asked him to remind the lady that terms of using the train do require you to respect the train and other passengers.
