The law that Moses laid down isn't the laws of men, it was also sent by Allah so I don't know what Jesus (pbuh) could be talking about.
I think he's referring to the fact that you need 2 witnesses to refute a claim but I have no idea...
I understand the message of love and turn the other cheek, it's very appealing but had little effect on the world, didn't build a society, and isn't able to manage humankind as effectively as Islam, thus I chose Islam.
A good example would be if some crimes were comitted such as theft, and the burgler always got away because we kept forgiving him. This leads other people into thinking it's ok, and causes corruption in society.
In Islam when you have a chance to forgive it is a virtue to do so, but not when
other people would be put in danger because you forgave someone.
[Pickthal 42:41] And whoso defendeth himself after he hath suffered wrong - for such, there is no way (of blame) against them.
[Pickthal 42:42] The way (of blame) is only against those who oppress mankind, and wrongfully rebel in the earth. For such there is a painful doom.
[Pickthal 42:43] And verily whoso is patient and forgiveth - lo! that, verily, is (of) the steadfast heart of things.
If someone did happen to steal from you, you could sit at the place of punishment cursing them, or hold a grudge, or you could forgive them. Either way actions need to be taken in society when people harm other people.
