Or you can fight.

If you accept that each of us is entitled to pursue our beliefs and practice our religions in such a manner as not to impose on the same rights of others, then you are obliged to stand in the face of tyranny and do the right thing.

It is not so hard to stand by your convictions and face death as a martyr, but the real test is to be willing to do it for your neighbor, even though they do not share your same beliefs, but because he has as much right as you do. By opposing fanaticism, you are doing the same thing, whether the attack is against you directly, or against others.

Running away only serves to promote the interests of tyrants. What do you do when there is nowhere left to run?

You must accept that peace comes at a great cost. Only when you are willing to pay that price for the greater good will you be able to attain and maintain the peace.

Imagine what kind of army the Jews in the Holocaust could've been if they'd all been armed and knew beforehand what was coming if they didn't fight. Some of them did, and fought heroically, and faced death on their own terms.

It is simple fact of life, only when your enemies have great respect for you will they avoid a fight. Respect is earned, usually with blood, and an iron will to back it up. They may test your resolve, but if you are vigilant, you will fare far better than if you try to appease, or just get along, and ignore the threat.
