There was a good piece on IS and beheadings on the World Tonight on Radio 4 last night, talking about how this has become their trademark, possibly because it was something even al-Qaeda wouldn't condone: an al-Qaeda commander was once reprimanded by email by their leadership (it was intercepted) for filming a beheading and sharing it.
IS can't top 22 beheadings in a month though. Guess who beheaded 22 people last month?
Saudi Arabia, our coalition partner in the fight against IS.
