Punishments as per Bible and Quran

[Sardar Miyan]

Following are the punishments as per Bible and as per Quran:--
Crime and Punishment

Adultery
24:2 "The adulterer and the adulteress, scourge ye each one of them (with) a hundred stripes. And let not pity for the twain withhold you from obedience to Allah, if ye believe in Allah and the Last Day. And let a party of believers witness their punishment."
For making war against Allah and his Messenger
5:33 "The only reward of those who make war upon Allah and His messenger ... will be that they will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land. Such will be their degradation in the world, and in the Hereafter theirs will be an awful doom."
Lewdness
4:15 "As for those of your women who are guilty of lewdness, call to witness four of you against them. And if they testify (to the truth of the allegation) then confine them to the houses until death take them."
Stealing
5:38 "As for the thief, both male and female, cut off their hands. It is the reward of their own deeds, an exemplary punishment from Allah."

I just wanted to know as to why the punishments as per Bible more harsh than Quran while Allah is
same for two nations ie, Christians and Muslims. Secondly why the Islamic Govt. does not take cutting
hands literal instead of cutting the ability to steal? Thanks for sharing.

Adultery[13]
Bestiality[14]
Rape[15]
Sodomy[16]
