Saddest thing is no Islamists will ever tell you the truth about the intimate relation of beheading in Islam! Following the recent beheadings of Americans and other foreigners in Iraq and Saudi Arabia, the U.S. press turned to various experts to identify a precedent in the Quran or Islamic history for this kind of gory murder. Look what were the answers by some erudite but hypocritical Mullahs! Imam Muhammad Adam El-Sheik, co-founder and chief cleric at the Dar Al Hijrah Mosque at falls Church, VA told to the USA today: Beheadings are not mentioned in the Koran at all". Yvonne Haddad, a professor at the Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding at Georgetown University has agreed with the above Imam and added (to New York Newsday): "There is absolutely nothing in Islam that justifies cutting off a person's head. You go ask any Imam or mullah in the US, you will come up with the same lies again and again. Obviously, had it not been the sacred custom of ancient Islam, beheading would be quite unnecessary method to kill enemies by those Islamic terrorists in Iraq. Those Islamic terrorists could easily kill their infidel enemies (such as Daniel Pearl, Nich berg, Kim Sun II, Paul Johnson etc.) by a simple bullet. But those militants actually wanted to give an Islamic veneer to the infidel slayings because killing by beheading is considered most brutal and utterly degrading, and only western infidels deserve this type of brutal killing. In fact they only tried to follow the footsteps Prophet Muhammad and devoutly followed the Allahs order in the Quran. Holy Quran is replete with the harsh verses which directly order Muslims to behead Kaffirs/infidels. Let me cite some sample of those verses below:
Quranic verses that dictate beheading Kaffirs:
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 (by beheading), 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;
8:12- I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off.
47:4- Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), strike off their heads; at length; then when you have made wide Slaughter among them, carefully tie up the remaining captives: thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens.
9:123: Oh ye who believe! Murder those of the disbelievers and let them find harshness in you.
2:191- Kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from wherever they drove you out.
5: 45-- We ordained therein for them: Life for life, eye for eye, nose for nose, ear for ear. Toth for tooth, and wounds equal for equal.
2:193- Fight them on until there is no more tumult and religion becomes that of Allah
9:29- "Fight those who do not believe in God and the last day... and fight People of the Book, (Christian and Jews) who do not accept the religion of truth (Islam) until they pay tribute (Zizziya tax) by hand, being inferior.
8:17It is not ye who Slew them; it is God; when thou threwest a handful of dust, it was not Thy act, but Gods .. (Allah is a real merciful indeed!)
How can Islamic Mullahs blatantly hide these authentic Quarnic verses? The above Quranic scriptures incited early Muslim Jihadis to behead thousands of non-Muslims and other infidels. These same Quranic verses may still inciting devout/fanatical Muslims of modern days. During the early period of Islam, especially during Islamic expeditions by Prophet Muhammad himself while he was in Medina, thousands of infidels were brutally beheaded by the Jihadis. Below is a case in point collected from the authentic Islamic history to use as an example of Islamic beheading.
But don’t forget, is is a religion of peace. It’s just the MILLIONS around the world who take it out of context and make it about violence.
france used beheading until relatively recently:
>The last State use of the guillotine in France occurred on September 10th 1977, when Hamida Djandoubi was executed; there should have been another in 1981, but the intended victim, Philippe Maurice, was granted clemency. The death penalty was abolished in France that same year.

Beheading is not inherently more cruel than any other method of execution. Depends on how it is done. But the same applies to any other method.
It is, however, inherently messier than many other methods. It is also always 100% effective.
Obama criticizes Quran burning, Afghan attacksObama said in a statement that no religion tolerates "the slaughter and beheading of innocent people."
Yes, the HoMoHamHeads are so peaceful.
and sneaking into people’s houses at night and killing them in their sleep.
This is a demonstrable untruth. Just ask John the Baptist. Or Paul of Tarsus. Or an untold number of saints.
You might want to take it up with King David, too. Remember Goliath?
Posting sensational claims that are easily proved wrong do nothing to help your cause.
I'm not sure what your point is anyway, since beheading was often performed because it was thought to be more humane than say, being drawn and quartered; or being hanged, which often resulted in the condemned person dying of slow strangulation. Or disembowelment, which was practiced in many places, including England.
As for religion, Mormons accepted beheading as a form of punishment in Utah until the 19th century, as did the Vatican.
As was pedophilia.
"And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them, and the souls of those who have been BEHEADED because of the testimony of Jesus, and because of the word of God,"
Gee! I wonder what background of People still do this Today? HMMMM. Do they fill the Playbill of the end times. I wonder...... HELLO!!!
Great post. Thanks.
