Nabeel Attia answers a question from the audience.
Nabeel Attia, an attorney and trustee of the Islamic Center of Ocean County, told a group of about 20 of the Islamic faith and its culture. He also fielded questions, which ranged from how Muslims worship and interpret their faith to their role as Americans, from the group.
Attia adopted his presentation from one he gives to government 
officials. That program is designed to make officials more sensitive to Muslim customer and employee issues.
