It is if you use it in the correct historical context. Namely, the slapping was done with the back of the matching hand; left was used to slap inferiors and right, equals - so turning the other cheek was "I DARE you to slap me and claim me as your equal".
On other points, yeah, Bible and Quran are written by abusers for the sake of keeping their victims in their grasp.
