If I could zap you I would. This is the beautiful way.
Orrrrr... I nearby declare war on anyone or anything violating my rights. Then all the rest.
That peace shit is like a letter to a rapist : "I won't resist, just come and do whatever you want"
Unless------------------- that declaration is backed with the force of arms.... I draw a line in the sand, which is a contract when you say. Cross this line and risk the full weight of my wrath.
On the one hand, that would work. On the other, genuine pirates would be a well deserved rebalancing.
The principle of chivalry, which emphasizes protection of the vulnerable, is a shared value between Christian and Muslim teachings. While peace and non-aggression are ideal, when faced with imminent threats such as invasions or attacks, both traditions allow for self-defense.
Consider the scenario of living next to a family where one member has committed a grave crime. It's unjust to hold the entire family responsible and take aggressive action against them all. Instead, defense should be focused on protecting one's own life, family, and property.
In the past, Christian men were duty-bound to defend their homes and families against invaders. They would do so aggressively when necessary, even harassing and disabling a few attackers to protect their neighbors. This 'die in your doorstep' policy effectively deterred free pillaging.
Today, we should uphold this defensive posture, protecting our 'castle' - our home and family - without being the aggressor. It's a formidable stance that respects the rights of others while safeguarding our own."
It was the duty of every Christian man to die in his door step defending his family. He would harass and tax the marauders. If he could take out 2-3 of them they would have 2-3 less to harass the next home.
This policy stopped free pillage and is the same policy that we should have today. Every man in his Castle, die in his door is a pure defensive posture. It is not aggressive but it is formidable and our own governments must respect this stance unless the risk the appearance of being defacto.
