I guess it depends. If you are an uninformed Christian, you might say that it's a sin to fight, because of "let them strike the other cheek as well".

But a more informed Christian might argue that it also says that there is a time to hate, and a time to fight according to the Old Testament.

It depends on how much someone knows about their own religion, or what they choose to believe that influences their decisions.
