Salaam all,
This verse, as brother Mubashir, pointed out is not about insulting. Insult is a psychological assault on your nafs. That is why God wants us to ignore it; do not let your ego get flared. I understand the [waging war on Allah and His Messenger] to be not following the commands of Allah verbalized by the Prophet. The corrupters are those who cause fasad in different ways: fasad that includes murder, theft, armed robbery or rape. Punishments would be different. They can be killed or hanged rather than crucified or life in prison without parole.
