One must be careful with that idea that Christians are supposed to be pacifists.
Jesus said:
Luke 22:36
36 Then said He unto them, "But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one."
KJV
Christians are not second-class citizens. We have a God-given right to self-defense.
It is Christ's enemies that push the idea that Christians should be pacifists, especially those who follow Karl Marx and Communism.
Even in ex-KGB colonel Anatoliy Golitsyn who defected to the United States in the '60's said in his 1984 book New Lies For Old, that the Soviet Communists have a strategy to infiltrate the Christian Churches and push ideas of disarmament and pacifist dogma. Ex-16 year FBI agent Cleon Skousen also documented this in his 1958 book The Naked Communist.

Do you then wonder why Jesus did not tell the Centurion to stop owning slaves? Matthew 5; Luke 7
When you wonder too far, you become lost. And of course, you did not even listen to the sermon.

And that obviously is what you are, lost... because if you push pacifist dogma it is against The Word of God and shows you don't really abide by God's Word, but that you instead heed men's dogma.
Jesus told His disciples when sending them out in final with The Gospel, to go buy a sword for those who did not have one (Luke 22).
Religions where they practice 'appearing'... holy and pure on the OUTSIDE is not the same thing as being holy unto Christ Jesus per His Salvation.
Nor is repetitious prayer using counting beads a sign of being holy. It is what is in one's heart... that makes one holy, with following The Father and His Son by walking in The Spirit.
