Assalamu Alaykum,

What's the basis for Shafi'is understanding of Ahl al-Kitab?
Because to me it doesn't agree with history nor does it makes any sense whatsoever.

wa'alaykumussalaam,

I wrote a lengthy and ultimately mean response to your post. But I decided to delete it...

Short answer to your question is this:
a) you have misunderstood the Shafi'i ruling.
b) your historical facts about the Torah are wrong, possibly due to a misunderstanding about what the Torah is (hint: it is NOT a synonym for 'Hebrew Scriptures.')
c) you are in no position to accuse the entire Shafi'i school of being wrong and of "not making any sense whatsoever."
d) if you want further explanations, humble yourself, and go learn.
