It is unbelievable what Jesus says about people that want to harm us Christians. He instructs that we let them or else we are sinning. Matthew 5: 39, ‘But I say to you, Do not resist the evil man [who injures you]; but if anyone strikes you on the right jaw or cheek, turn to him the other one too. Verses 40 and 41 continues to promote the spirit of offering more the harm to yourself than the evil person want from you. Truly speaking, this defy logic but it is a commandment.
I know that many people dismiss Christianity on basis of similar verses. That is why many would think Christians are fools because they do not behave or react as the world or a normal person would in given circumstances.
The life of a Christian should therefore be a prayerful one because keeping the Word and doing the will of God is not easy. If you fail to do the will of God, you no longer fall under the list of Jesus’ friends (John 14:15 or 15:14).
Talking to a theologian
Just so I'm justify my position, I engaged a theologian. His comment was that Jesus was not talking in literal terms, yet when He said, 'If one take your tunic, give him your coat' the theologian acknowledged that Jesus was literal.
Concluding on the matter, we agreed that Jesus was instructing that His disciples, us Christians, not be tough as the world would. Lets trust Jesus that whatever He instructs and we do, He will step in and mediate.
