Government approves extension of Muslim school
Extension of Muslim school Mariam al Batool approved last week.
Last week, the Malta Environment and Planning Authority approved the extension of Mariam al Batool, the Muslim school in Rahal Gdid. Prime Minister Joseph Muscat said this was another promise which the government fulfilled during its first months in power.
Addressing representatives of the community at the Labour Headquarters in Hamrun, Muscat reiterated the Labour government was committed in aiding the Muslim community in Malta.
Muscat said the government will continue helping the community, even through the setting up of the Citizenship and Visas Agency.
The Prime Minister also spoke about the importance of integration of minority communities in Malta while reiterating the government would not permit racism and xenophobia.
He insisted the country should be open to everyone where the Muslim community is treated in the same way as the Maltese.
