I had people answering an questionnaire and performed an interview with a muslim girl on my last school, for a school project. She was by all means a moderate and in context the interview is pretty interesting. Anyway, a few days later I walked up to her and a friend of hers as they were chatting in the main entrance. Tried to be jolly while not disrespectful, appear nice and serious but not really understanding what I was asking outside of a "just want to complete the school task" way (without saying so), cordial and on the go, etc, to get her friend to answer the questionnaire too. One question was about political ideology where I had to explain the meaning of 'theocracy'. He crossed the box and signed the anonymous questionnaire...
Just a trivial sidenote... sorry for hijacking.
