Beheading is a formerly widespread execution method that has gradually been banned throughout the world but remains used or advocated for by some adherents of Islamism and Islamic extremism. Since the age of Muhammad, Islamic militants have used beheadings as method to execute soldiers and civilians. Decapitation often also served as means of humiliation of a person right after the murder occurs.

Beheading is a legal form of execution in Iran, Qatar and Yemen, but the punishment has been suspended in those countries. The majority of executions carried out by the the Wahhabi government of Saudi Arabia are public beheadings, which usually cause mass gatherings but are not allowed to be photographed or filmed. Since 2002, however, jihadist groups such as al-Qaeda and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant have been mass circulating beheading videos as a form of terror and propaganda.
