Bach | @SarahMcLauren That sounds like you're asking about Islamic scholars that condemn specific people being beheaded, or beheading being used as a punishment for offenses it is not available for in shariah, or people without the authority to execute the punishment performing beheadings. I would be surprised if any of the people you mentioned condemned beheading per se. | |

Replying to beheadings of non-Muslim hostages by Zarqawi in Iraq, Egyptian cleric Yusuf Al Qaradawi, who has condoned female suicide bombing, condemned beheadings and hostage-taking, comparing Zarqawi to the Kharijites. Even, al-Qaeda and Islamist scholars publicly chastised Zarqawi for the videos, saying that they alienated Muslims. Association of Muslim Scholars in Iraq repeatedly condemned the beheading of foreign hostages as a violation of Islamic law. | |

Specific examples might help. | |
