Season greetings!
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

plan b is not a "safe zone" , jim.
it is a bastion of higher learning and free exchange of ideas.
unless you say anything negative about muslims or their faith, then you are rightly called out as a racist bigot....
at least they don t stone you, or behead you, or chop your hand off, or enslave you here. that is still only done in muslim countries...
