Yes that asshole would be proud since he only advocated turning other cheek to other Christian, just like Moses's "Don't kill" meant don't kill other Jew. People of other religions are not even human beings to Christians. I mean you really think that Christian would turn the other cheek to let's say some Native American that worships Raccoon's cunt?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
