The Bible specifically forbids believers taking revenge, it belongs to YHWH alone:
You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the LORD (Leviticus 19:18).
Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord" (Romans 12:19).

Thereupon the Prophet . . . said: 'Oh be witness, no retaliation is payable for her blood'" (Dawud Book 38, Number 4348).
And regarding the poetess Asma bint Marwan: "Who will rid me of Marwan's daughter?"
