Your reply was not an appropriate reply to my question. Everybody knows what an
extremist response would be, whether it be Hindutva or Christianist. Of course,
there are people who believe that the latter are better than the former, or
vice versa. Also, the original comment belies the common experience that
retaliation is the basis of most wars and judicial systems, irrespective of the
religious affiliation of the war makers and juries.
