About 4,200 incoming freshman and transfer students were expected to read about 130 pages of "Approaching the Qur'an: The Early Revelations," by Michael Sells, a religion professor at Haverford College.

But plaintiffs have broadened their complaint to attack more than just the reading program. The suit now claims that the university promotes Islam through a variety of events, including an Islamic awareness week, throughout the semester.
