	Wa alaikum salam, Becasue the organizer is a muslim, to me it is easier to decide. Not to go. This is to give a statement that you don't agree what she will do. It's not correct islamically. Yes we have to be tolerance and respect to other faith, however what she want to do is too far. Again to me don't go.
	Salam/Peace, Semar "We are people who do not eat until we are hungry and do not eat to our fill." (Prophet Muhammad PBUH) "1/3 of your stomach for food, 1/3 for water, 1/3 for air"
