   Muslims should know that an attack on Hindu sites will have retaliation like that of Gujarat. In that case they will hesitate because the local Muslims will persuade the Jihadis not to attack. Strong and bloody retaliation is the only thing Muslims will respect. Peace, love and tolerance are signs of weakness to them.
