Please don't cry martyrdom. Christians are the majority in the least-secular country in the western world.

YouTube - Philadelphia Eleven Arrested at OutFest 2004
Max sentence of 47 years in jail for singing Gospel music on the sidewalk, and they were charged with ethnic crimes. Ethnic crimes!? Since when is sexual orientation included in ethnicity?

Tell me, how would you feel if, at your graduation, the summation of your highschool career, your valedictorian stood up and proceeded to say that all Christians were going to hell?
Or, even if she didn't do that, if she just went on and on about how awesome being a Muslim is and how you should accept Allah as your saviour?
Believe it or not, Valedictorian speeches are not public platforms to say whatever you want, they're for the valedictorian to try and sum up highschool and give an encouraging message.
