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.

‘And the retribution for an evil act is an evil one like it’ pretty well torches your whole argument.

Furthermore, it reflects Mohammed’s profound misunderstanding of his source material.
