The decision outraged Roman Catholics. One newspaper commentator dubbed it "political correctness gone mad". People gathered in strength to place flowers at the foot of the statue and newspapers published letters of complaint condemning the "intolerable heresy". The announcement of the withdrawal was welcomed by the Muslim community as a "step towards peace" according to Houssam El Mahmoudi, the president of the Association of Moroccan Students in Santiago.

We need to quit handing out countries over to the Muslims. They will take as much as they think they can get and every capitulation only makes them bolder.

They can choose to immigrate to western cultures, but they must be the ones who adopt to western culture, not the other way around. If they are not comfortable with our society, their option is to leave. They don't belong here in that case.
