Treason is not worshiping other gods than Allah, that is not something to go to prison or being executed, that Sura simply mentions people that choose other god than Allah.

I didn't ignore it I just don't see how prison or community service or paying a fine is worse than cutting a hand.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
