I m not less surprised than u are that u fail to understand the context. Although I fully believe u when u said u did read it twice.
To be honest, I only looked into your first paragraph. Then decided to help u thru as u requested.
Let us finish point by point rather than you getting into long posts.
Are u sure u read the post? if u asked how did i "u" waged war" it shows u didnt read, or more so, dont want actually to see the content.
May be if I copy and paste only this part, you will find it easier to understand....
<b>If you carefully look at this Ayah, it does not specify who are those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, I mean it does not specifically define them as non believers, but rather any one who wages war against Allah and His Messenger which in such case will cover a Muslim who commits this type of a crime.
</b>
The above mentioned Ayah, didn’t specify actually which type of crime will make the perpetuator eligible for this punishment. Not that Allah Forgot to Do so, or that Allah Is not specific or that Quran is inaccurate. No but rather Allah by virtue of this Ayah granted a ruler the authority in crimes which are not clearly defined in Quran to choose from among such options of punishments as mentioned in the Ayah and enforce them. For instance, rape cases will be addressed through this rule which is called in Islamic law (Shari`a) as Ta`zeer. What I want to underline here, is that only the ruler is allowed by virtue of this Ayah to carry out the punishment. In a perfect example of an Islamic state, only the ruler is allowed after a fair trial that proves the individual guilty. As soon as this is decided, the ruler carries out the punishment and not any common individual. A ruler may see how grave the rapist situation is and apply the appropriate option. Other kinds of crimes would include <b>fraud, blackmailing, embezzlement, abuse of power and administrative corruption on the state level</b>.
Read carefully, Insh aAllah you will not get any heart problems.
