In my opinion, MLK misunderstood Ghandi. He thought non-violence was a claiming of moral superiority. He was down for the Montgomery Bus boycott, but against the lunch counter sit it. He said it was unlawful and unchristian. This is why many don't like MLK and don't like to listen to him.
As says, for Ghandi, "Non-violence was a tactic not a strategy. He always had a violent means available." And I think the same could be said of Jesus.
People who stand up for themselves are respected. But also people who promote peace in time of conflict are also respected.
The one who is not respected is the one who is afraid to fight, and even afraid to take life.
