That's only if you steal twice.

Normally once gets your right hand and left foot chopped off. Twice gets the left hand and right foot chopped off.

This punishment is also doled out for other crimes.

Koran 5:33 - The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter

The recent actions in Mali has shown quite a bit of that. (NSFW)


In more advanced countries like Iran it has been industrialized... (NSFW)
