Some expelled Moriscos went joyfully, having long desired emigration to Muslim lands

Evidence

It may seem strange that such an enormous movement of population could be set in motion so easily. Why was there not more resistance? (We continue to ask similar questions about such movements in our times.) As we will see, there was armed resistance in a few places, but many went joyfully. This was for some what they had longed for all their lives, what they had been prevented from doing by legislation forbidding emigration to Muslim lands. — L. P.
