Yes it is, only it says if someone strikes you on one, to offer them the other, and if someone requires that you go one mile with them to go two. It goes on to say that if someone takes your cloak do not withold your shirt. I wouldn't take this to mean "If someone wants to rape or kill you let them rather than defend yourself." You get into a lot of specifics and subtleties when you look at this with honest study, rather than just saying "turning the other cheek".
Are you asking honestly or are you being facetious?
