I would argue that the very idea of (B) implies the imposition of an 
outside ideology onto the Torah.  Because the Torah certainly doesn't 
label anything as morally wrong and yet permitted against non-Jews.  
Anything in (B) is necessarily a subjective and personal judgment that 
should not be attributed to the Torah.
