Where is the hypocrisy in cutting the hand of a person who already cut the living of others?
The thieve will still get their freedom in Islam though; unlike secular and heathen unjust systems.
Does the Quran make the distinction between stealing a radio and stealing someone’s life savings? In other words, does the punishment for theft vary based on what was stolen? Even if it did, your case is still very weak - punishing theft via bodily mutilation is savage and barbaric.
And you still haven’t explained why Muslim-practiced barbarism is any different than that practiced by Christians.

No, but it gives the victims the right to pardon their attackers:
Quote:Sura 42, The Quran:
https://quran.ksu.edu.sa/index.php?l=en#...rans=en_sh
( 40 ) And the retribution for an evil act is an evil one like it, but whoever pardons and makes reconciliation - his reward is [due] from Allah. Indeed, He does not like wrongdoers.
It's not up to you, but up to the victim to pardon the thieve.
