"I highly recommend [Ola's] presentations, that also includes Islam 101, a basic primer on Islam."

TESTIMONIAL

"The various presentations about Islam, by Ola Nosseir, are extremely important for educating Westchester neighbors from various religious traditions about Islam. Some of the presentations include Muslim teachings on "Women in Islam," "The Prophet Jesus and Virgin Mary," and "The Hajj." The books, pictures, and clothing she makes available about Islam give the audience important resources to see and touch. The Q and A is always an important opportunity to ask questions about Islam that Ola is able to answer from her own experience as a Muslim woman, mother, activist, and member of the American Muslim Women's Association (AMWA) who is also a member of the Briarcliff Manor/Ossining Ministerial Association (BOMA). I highly recommend her presentations, that also includes Islam 101, a basic primer on Islam."

"I recently had the opportunity to attend an Islam 101 seminar presented by Ola Nosseir, which I found to be highly informative. Ms. Nosseir effectively articulated the historical connections between Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. I was especially moved by her demonstration of faith and devotion. Her expertise and presentation of the subject matter were truly commendable. This experience has sparked a strong desire to deepen my understanding of Islam. Given the current political climate, I am motivated to contribute to constructive dialogue regarding religious matters. I believe that fostering knowledge, understanding, and respect for diverse religions and cultures is essential for creating a more positive and productive society. I am grateful for Ms. Nosseir's commitment to sharing her knowledge through these seminars and anticipate attending future sess"ions."

"I was thrilled to have the presentation at the OPL titled "Islam 101". In such an important time in our society, now was a good time more than ever to educate the community on the subject. My goal was to bring the community together and have a lively positive discussion and we accomplished that. A big thank you to Ola Nosseir for a job well-done. I look forward to having more of these presentations at OPL in the future and bringing the community together more and more."
