As for what Muslim societies do in their courts; I already told you and so many others that they are not dealing like "Muslims" anymore. I don't care about what they do.
But it’s NOT ‘retaliating in the same manner’ (note correction), because the punishment is excessive. If it were as equitable as you claim, then the only Quranic justification for cutting off a hand would be if the condemned had been found guilty of cutting off someone else’s hand.
But your hypocrisy continues unabated. You say that Christians are evil for committing atrocities approved by God, but Muslims are righteous for committing atrocities approved by the same God, because you’re apparently incapable of understanding that theistic religion - any religion - is what makes these people behave atrociously.

Stealing is a special case. You didn't count the aftermath of the crime correctly:
1-the robbery might include somebody's whole life savings
2-the robbery might include somebody's family sponsoring savings
3-the robbery might include somebody's priceless property left by their parents/relatives/friends
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.
