I am sure the beheadings are not a accepted practice among mainstream Islam, so what is the point in talking to the some of the Muslims about how they are going against Islam when they do this. If they do not know this already, I doubt that our western perspective of it will have any influence at all. It would be a waste of time and probably do more harm than good.

Thank you Dom for not being a close minded fellow....Of course the Murder of unarmed civilians is strictly forbiden in Islam....and you ae right that is is not accepted in the mainstream, and that Non- Muslims telling the extremist assholes that "oh yeah murder is against Islam" does not help...........
Many people do not really see it, but right now there is a civil war in Islam (across all secretarian boundries) between the Moderates and The Extremists
This is the battle for control of Islam fought from within, but in the end i know in my heart that the moderate Muslims will win out....it may take time
Our prophet Muhammed taught us that Islam is the religion of moderation and peace.....It may not look good for the short term but inshallah, the killers and terrorists will be defeated and the Moderate version of Islam will hold out
