As for "turning the other cheek" again, I'm not a Christian (maybe an esoteric Christian), but I think there are different ways to interpret that. Taking it as a rule to never defend yourself or those around you against aggressors seems like a pretty wild interpretation to me. Imagine Jesus saying "when they come and slaughter your child, bring them the rest of your children." Makes no sense.
