Great point...if we lived in such a vacuum that we could take this essay on such a literal level, without playing dumb or whitewashing the scenario.
So you can argue there's no progressive modern manner to execute someone because the act itself is unethical and speaks towards a dark ages mentality....but that's your argument, and it's yet another swirve on the topic. All the author is trying to to is pick on the most blatant example and hope that it will open your eyes. Swap out beheadings for say, honor killings or some other act without an American equal,which you can't twist. I mean, come one on now, do you truly believe this article is merely about beheadings? Can you honestly say that anyone calling the extremists in question "barbaric" must me xenophobic?
