As a convinced, practising Maltese Muslim, born and bred in Malta I too have some concerns. Just what, exactly, do those like Martyn F. Attard (The Sunday Times, September 16), who worry about a "growing Muslim community" in Malta propose to do about it?

Prohibit me from bringing up my son as a Muslim, perhaps? Or not allow me to have more children? Or are we just worried about 'foreign' Muslims here? Maltese Muslims, as legitimate tax-paying citizens of this country, deserve some answers.

Or maybe we should just stop being ridiculous and work to achieve peaceful co-existence through tolerance and mutual respect and understanding.
