I think, It's people who are violent who are weak! Violence is an easy solution! It's takes patience and courage to stand up to wrong doers without loosing your own humanity too in the process and becoming exactly what you are opposing and despise!
People will call Gandhi weak but he crushed an Empire and made it bend to his will and did not resort to violence to do it!
I'm not a christian i've tremendous respect for jesus as a person! I'm not christian because of his fan club!
Gandhi said, he'd convert to christianity only if christians themselves practiced what they preach to others!

Gandhi was one of the most courageous human beings ever to have existed.
And his sandals rocked.

He showed courage and rejuvenated certain things from new testament "present the other chick".
In the beginning people wrote him off as impractical, but he won over militant like Sardar Verlabbhai Patel and even Neta Subhas Chandra Bose, after they saw Policeman refusing to stop "Salt marches peaceful sit down and preparation" near Bombay, and all along western coast line.
After that even Judges came early and stood up when he entered the court they realised the power and advantages of non violent movement to any one who had a point to present to the courts. He actually was able to give new meaning to even fighting in court, Judges became more independent of the ruling enforcers.....
