If one makes fun out of my religion, how shall I retaliate?

Question

A few days ago someone made fun of my religion. I stood quiet, if this happens next time, should I retaliate in a physical manner?

Answer

Almighty Allah Ta'ala says, 'When the ignorant speak to you, say, 'Salaam'
(avoid them with wisdom).'

The purpose of people making a fun is to aggravate you. by you retaliating,
you will be giving in to their purpose.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
