Nativity scene removed from Montreal-area town hall

MONTREAL - A posh Montreal suburb has decided to remove a nativity scene and menorah from town hall rather than acquiesce to demands from a Muslim group to erect Islamic religious symbols.
The decision by the Town of Mount Royal upsets a Christian resident who says the town is abandoning an established tradition under pressure from a tiny religious minority.
Town councillors of several different religions unanimously decided to remove the Christian and Jewish items. the rest

I find that the mayor made a huge mistake by removing the nativity scene and the menorah. That is why I started a petition hoping to convince the city hall members to respect the traditions of the community that they are supposed to represent.
Thank you for your support.
