Default apologies of the kaafir


when a kafir insults islam, etc but then later realises that they are wrong and apologies, how should you respond? i mean its not your honor that they're insulting, so you cant really say 'its okay' because i guess it isnt your place to. i mean alhamdulilah that they realize they're wrong, but what do you do?! should you encourage them to do tawbah, and hence become muslim? if so, how? or is that a little 'much.'
i hope im making sense.

Wa alaykum as-salam.

Wouldn't refusing to accept an apology harden the hearts?

Perhaps you can take a middle approach, and reply with a vague answer, such as "God is Most Merciful."

Fi Aman Allah

^ Thats a good idea.. We should tell that , God is Most Merciful ..May God forgive you and we should then depending on the type of relationship we have with them ask them not to attack the Religion of God again.

If someone goes really above the limit and your heart doesnt wish to forgive him than break off all contact with the person.

I am not sure about saying "may God forgive you"...why not just say "God is Most Forgiving. May God guide you and I both to all that is the truth."

(As a side-note, always say "may Allah guide you and I" as opposed to "May Allah guide you", since the latter is oftentimes taken as an insult nowadays.)
