Followers of the Qu’ran believe idolaters and infidels are to be beheaded under various circumstances.
We shouldn’t limit the insults to simply “terrorists.”
It’s letting them off easy.

Like the soft pedaling in Wikipedia:
Beheading is still a legal method of execution in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Yemen. In Iran, beheading was last used in 2001 according to Amnesty International, but it is no longer in use. In recent decades, extremist Salafi jihadist groups have used beheading as a method of killing captives and terror tactic.
Extremist Salafi jihadist groups such as ISIS and Jama’at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad have used beheading as a method of killing captives. Since 2002, ISIS have circulated beheading videos as a form of terror and propaganda.
—Wikipedia on Beheading In Islam.


Two of the passages involved:
When the Lord inspired the angels (saying) I am with you. So make those who believe stand firm. I will throw fear into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Then smite the necks and smite of them each finger. (8:12)

Now when ye meet in battle those who disbelieve, then it is smiting of the necks until, when ye have routed them, making fast of bonds; and afterward either grace or ransom ‘til the war lay down its burdens. (47:4)

The headsman’s axe was the standard method of execution in Europe until the invention of that contraption by Monsieur Guillotine.

It was barbaric England that dangled their victims at the end of a rope.

I don’t think it’s any coincidence that the Book of Revelation tells us the martyrs of the tribulation will be those “beheaded for their testimony about Jesus”. And God probably wasn’t warning us to watch out for the French and their guillotines.
