Ok so someone says an insult right? Most people would either ignore him or insult back. What if you ask him why he thinks that? Learn his perspective and reasonings? Attempt to persuade him your side, allowing him to come away from potentially extremist views. Congrats, you just solved the problem, gained an ally and probably a friend.
Or we could go your way, beat the shit out of him, allowing the other party to then have the right to hit back and lead to escalation. Or just straight up imprison him. Yeah, such fruitful discussion and problem solving. Not hiding or oppressing an issue at all.
One thing that begs an explanation is... why would someone have an overriding desire to insult a religion, especially in front of a practitioner?
