While Islam is practiced in Malta, however, an actual Maltese-Islamic culture is nonexistent locally, said a Muslim Maltese man, Mario Farrugia Borg. Mr Borg explained that Islam, locally, is still in its infancy; however, he hopes that such a culture could be developed by a future Maltese Muslim generation. Mr Borg along with his family is observing the Ramadan religious traditions, whereby, during this period the family fasts from sunrise to sunset. He explains a couple of misconceptions which are wrongly attributed to this period.
