With all due respect to those questioning the OPs actions,

You've not been in that situation yourselves, and although we'd all like to believe we would act in a particular way, this is far from what actually happens. People often go into a state of shock and the immediate response is to do with your fitra.

Some are soft by nature and others are hard. Take the diversity among the prominent sahabah for example. There are numerous accounts where Abu Bakr Siddique and Umar al-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with them) held differing opinions regarding the same matter.

Sw.

What makes you think that I've (and others too) not been in such situations, I've actually been in many many situations where when not finding a suitable place for performing Salah, I've asked the authorities for permission for offering prayers, at times I've got it and at times, I haven't, when at times where I haven't received permission, I've (very humbly) asked them to provide me with any place clean enough to offer prayers, and Alhamdulillah, cannot recount when I've been refused.

The only issue here is how could the policeman evict him (and beaten him although mildly) when brother Numaan had asked for permission beforehand and why did he not lodge a complaint or atleast question the staff / policeman.

I've not asked him to wage Jihad or such. Its' just a matter of questioning the policeman's actions.

take a chill pill.
