I heard that the old tastement includes many horrible verses. However, through my reading in Quran I found a verse that seem to be horrific to me. It says [Al Maida 5:33]:
"The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger (Muhammed), 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 there is still a heavy punishment in the Hereafter"
Can any Muslim tell me what does this horrible verse mean?

I'm a Muslim and i just read what you wrote in the quran and i cant really explain it to you in English but mainly it says that who is fighting god and Muhammad should be punished by one of this means or exile from the Islamic land, that was meant for the people who wages a war against Islam not all the people in the world

I am not a muslim but if I may answer.
If one refuses conversion then you are considered the enemy and all those things are possible against you.
Also used if one is living in muslim territory and is found not to cooperate.
Basically, anyone who is not a muslim is considered THE ENEMY!
