Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword." - Jesus

I think he was talking metaphorically. A bit like Manjushri's sword of wisdom cutting through the flames of ignorance. It is not meant to be taken literally and is not congruent with turning the other cheek. And if you say that both messages are equally relevant then I suggest your spiritual development is heading up shit creek without the (proverbial) paddle! And who are you to say she is not a Christian? What is your criteria for measurement?
