Your paranoia seems to be speaking loudly here.
Again, much praise for you for your skills with a second language.

So.. it's 'Bad' for the police to 'Terroize' criminals...
But it's quite okay for 'Some one' to terroize cimminals with the promise (Remeber, this is your thought experiment) of physical mutilation?
... Actually, that's something that needs to be adressed.
Who is it that you're suggesting should be cutting off all these appendages? Obviously NOT the terrify police, obviously.
So... who will you promote to 'Chief limb lopper'? Some one French, perhapse? After all, they gave us the 'Years of terror' and Madame Guillotene.
Cheers.
Not at work.
It's nice of you to mention the Guillotine, because the French revolution would never had succeeded without it. Without the terror the Guillotine put for the French corrupt royals -and their Christian bishops- the success of the revolution would be no more.
So I gotta ask you; how is it legal and okay for western countries like France to use the Guillotine to clean the garbage in their communities, but we Muslims don't get that?
In other words we -Muslims- need our own French revolution, our own Guillotines to clean the garbage in our societies. You westerners would utilize the Guillotines soon enough too; I am sure. Especially when the right wing starts to roam more freely and commit more deadly crimes; you will miss capital punishment and will embed it again in your laws.
It's essential to cut a piece from corrupt criminals -like the French royals- because they are cutting our own bodies right now.
The Revolution would have succeeded with or without the guillotine - there are plenty of ways to kill people.
Interestingly enough (and fatal to your very, very stupid argument), the guillotine was considered a more humane way to behead someone, as opposed to hacking at their neck with a sword or an axe.
Leaving aside for the moment the question of the morality of capital punishment, a legitimate comparison simply cannot be made between quickly and (mostly) painlessly executing a criminal and mutilating a criminal for life. The former has at least a nodding acquaintance with an enlightened society, while the latter is nothing more than primitive barbarism.
