A while back, my alma mater's most infamous Christian group, the Campus Crusade for Christ, covertly offered a "seminar" on Muslim philosophy, which was actually a Christian speaker who would attempt to convert Muslims to fundie Christianity. Crusade's advertisement flyers said nothing of this angle, but I would out through covertly reading their mailing list. (I had a few run-ins with them in the past.)
When they tried to convince one of my best friends to attend (she was a sweet Muslim girl from Pakistan), I got mad and organized a protest. Several of us picketed the speech, watching as several Muslim students were dragged by their fundie roommates in to the auditorium. A few of them knew what was going on (and were presumably only going to be polite), shouting some encouragement to those of us picketing.
One of the organizers of the event, however, tried to bully us into leaving. He said we were offending him by twisting the words of a book he considered sacred.
