Prohibition of Retaliating to an Abuse with Abuse
 

It is explained in TafsÄ«rul Mizan, that we should show respect for the sacred objects and personalities of other religions. If we vilify the idols of the polytheists, they will retaliate by insulting the holy aspects of Islam. In such a case the Mu’min who had initiated the abuse will be responsible for the disrespect shown to Islam and Allah (S.w.T.).

Also it is Harām to abuse a non-Shia or Kafir, because he may respond by abusing and cursing you, or any other believer.

This is clearly prohibited in Qur’an,

 “And do not abuse those whom they call upon besides Allah, lest exceeding the limits they should abuse Allah out of ignorance.”

(Surah al-An’ām 6: 108)
